Kalki 2: A Big-Bachchan-Haasan Reunion Brewing?
Here’s the fun twist — Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan didn’t share a single scene in the first film. Behind-the-scenes photos from Bachchan’s blog earlier this year show him in his Ashwatthama look, hugging and chatting with Haasan on set, sparking speculation that the sequel will finally bring these two legends together on screen.
Reports suggest the makers are targeting a major shoot wrap by April 2027, followed by an extensive VFX-heavy post-production phase before the film lands in theatres. For a refresher on the first part’s record-breaking run, see the official Kalki 2898 AD page on Wikipedia.
