Adding intrigue to the film’s narrative are a series of well-placed cameos by Mrunal Thakur, Vijay Deverakonda, and Dulquer Salmaan. However, the most talked-about character remained shrouded in secrecy until the film’s release: Lord Krishna.
Prior to the premiere, speculation ran rampant about the actor portraying Lord Krishna. Rumors even hinted at a digital recreation of the legendary Telugu actor Sr. NTR.

He took to social media platform Instagram to express his profound honor at playing such a significant character.
Set in the dystopian metropolis of Kashi, the film follows Bhairava (played by Prabhas), a tenacious bounty hunter seeking to infiltrate the Complex ruled by the tyrannical Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan). The narrative intensifies with the introduction of Ashwattama (Amitabh Bachchan), who embarks on a relentless pursuit to locate SUM-80 (Deepika Padukone) and her child. Bhairava’s mission to apprehend SUM-80 becomes increasingly complex as he encounters Ashwattama and a multitude of formidable adversaries.
