Kalki 2898-AD release date postponed?

The next big pan-India release starring Prabhas, Kalki 2898-AD, is gearing up for worldwide release on 9 May 2024. However, rumours that the release date has been postponed to 20 June are doing rounds on the internet.

The speculations have apparently upset Prabhas’ fans, who are eagerly awaiting an official confirmation from the makers.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the pan-India movie has wrapped up its shooting. Again, there hasn’t been any official announcement yet.

Kalki 2898-AD boasts a star-studded cast, including Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan alongside Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.

On the occasion of Maha Shivaratri, the makers released a new poster starring Prabhas and revealed his name in the film—Bhairava.

The update hinted that the flick will be set in the city of Kasi.

Earlier, in an interview, director Nag Ashwin said Kalki 2898-AD 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.

Producer Ashwini Dutt of Vyjayanthi Films mounted the project with a staggering ₹800 crore.
