Kalki 2898-AD is now in the post-production stage with the team trying to wrap up everything before the scheduled release.
Earlier, in an interview, Nag Ashwin said the movie was a product of his love for the stories of Mahabharata and Star Wars.
“I had this idea and the story just came along. I grew up listening to/watching Mahabharata and Star Wars. Making a film that combines both these worlds felt ideal. And thus, Kalki 2898-AD was born,” the filmmaker said.
Joining Prabhas and Deepika Padukone in this star-studded venture are industry stalwarts Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan, alongside Disha Patani, Rajendra Prasad, and Anna Ben.
