Kalki 2898 AD release trailer

The new trailer confirms what many have already guessed: that Deepika’s character is carrying Kalki. “God resides in your womb,” says Amitabh’s character in a scene before he fights Prabhas’ character and everyone who comes in his way to save her and her baby. Kamal’s character also comments on how man won’t change no matter how many changes he gets. His withdrawn look from the film as a sage is also revealed. The new trailer also shows Prabhas in a new robotic suit, ready to take on the world for his bounty.

Kalki 2898 AD pre-release event

The team of Kalki 2898 AD recently held the film’s pre-release event in Mumbai. Rana Daggubati was the compere while Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan made their presence felt. Deepika looked stunning in a black dress and cracked jokes about how her pregnant belly was a result of Prabhas feeding her food. Amitabh also had a moment where he touched Aswini Dutt’s feet, all praise for the film’s producer.

The world of Kalki 2898 AD

In a video played at the pre-release event, Nag explained that the world of Kalki 2898 AD is divided into Kasi, Complex and Shambala. He said, “Ganga is dry and people are struggling. A mega city called Complex has ample resources. The people of Kasi dream to enter Complex but it’s a trap to make them work for it. Shambala, the Shangri La, a mystical world is the place for refugees and rebels, those fighting against the Complex.”
