Big B and Kamal Haasan Finally Share the Screen?
One of the most exciting behind-the-scenes details comes from earlier this year, when Amitabh Bachchan shared glimpses from the Kalki 2 set, including pictures of himself with Kamal Haasan. Notably, the two legendary actors did not share any scenes in the first film — meaning the sequel could finally deliver a much-awaited on-screen moment between them.
What Is Kalki 2898 AD About?
The story begins at the end of the Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra war, marking the start of the Kali Yuga. Ashwatthama is tasked by Lord Krishna with protecting Vishnu’s final avatar until the time comes. Fast forward 6,000 years to 2898 AD, and the world has become a dystopia ruled by the tyrant Supreme Yaskin. As rebellion brews, hope emerges through an unborn child carried by SUM-80 (Sumathi) — a child believed to be the prophesied Kalki.
Prabhas’ Packed Release Slate
Before Kalki 2 arrives, Prabhas has a busy lineup ahead, including the period actioner Fauzi and Spirit with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Fans eager for the Kalki universe’s next chapter will likely have to wait for these releases to wrap first.
