The science fiction film “Kalki 2898 AD,” starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, has become a major commercial success, exceeding a box office collection of ₹1000 crores. The film’s innovative vision and Prabhas’s performance have been lauded by critics and audiences alike. However, a recent legal notice threatens to cast a shadow on this success story.

Acharya Pramod Krishnam, the spiritual leader of Shri Kalki Dham and holder of the title Kalki Peethadheeshwar, has filed a legal notice against the film’s producers. The notice alleges a misrepresentation of Hindu deities, particularly Lord Kalki, as depicted in sacred scriptures. Acharya Krishnam contends that the film’s portrayal deviates significantly from traditional Hindu beliefs, potentially causing offense to the religious sentiments of a vast number of Hindus.

The specific details of the disputed portrayal haven’t been publicly disclosed. However, Acharya Krishnam has demanded a response from the filmmakers within 15 days, presumably to address the alleged discrepancies and potentially offer an explanation or apology. Failure to comply, he warns, could lead to further legal action, both civil and criminal.

The filmmakers’ response to these accusations remains to be seen. This controversy has the potential to significantly impact the film’s legacy. While the box office numbers are impressive, a prolonged legal battle or accusations of religious insensitivity could tarnish the film’s image and limit its future distribution, particularly on online platforms.

This incident highlights the complex relationship between artistic expression and religious sensitivities in India. “Kalki 2898 AD” is a work of fiction, but its use of revered Hindu mythology places it on a delicate tightrope. The legal battle’s outcome will be closely watched, with implications for both the film industry and the ongoing discourse surrounding artistic freedom and religious respect.
