The film boasts a star-studded cast, with Amitabh Bachchan portraying the enigmatic Ashwatthama, and Prabhas essaying the role of Bhairava, a bounty hunter. Kamal Haasan steps into the shoes of Supreme Leader Yashkin, while Deepika Padukone takes on the role of Padma/Sumathi, the vessel carrying Kalki within her. Actresses Malavika Nair, Sobhana, Disha Patani, and Anna Ben add further depth to the ensemble cast with their respective characters.

Rumors regarding special cameos have heightened the intrigue surrounding “Kalki 2898 AD.” Reports suggest that Mrunal Thakur and Dulquer Salmaan, the on-screen pair from the successful film “Sita Ramam,” might portray Kalki’s parents, appearing briefly but leaving a lasting impact. Leaked information contradicts earlier pronouncements about Deepika’s character carrying Kalki, further piquing audience curiosity. Director Nag Ashwin has seemingly mastered the art of revealing snippets while maintaining a shroud of secrecy, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Whispers of guest appearances by actors Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, and even the illustrious S.S. Rajamouli have further amplified the buzz. While these rumors remain unconfirmed, they contribute to the film’s mystique. With a reported runtime of three hours, “Kalki 2898 AD” promises an immersive cinematic experience.

“Kalki 2898 AD” has emerged as a cinematic event, generating excitement not only for its visual spectacle but also for its complex narrative and captivating characters. With its release imminent, audiences eagerly await the unveiling of Nag Ashwin’s vision and the culmination of this ambitious project.

Usually, theatrical releases face legal troubles but a director OTT film faced legal issues even before it got released. It is none other than ‘Maharaj’ which is Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan’s debut flick. A few Hindu representatives have stopped the release on Netflix by filing a complaint on this film as their religious sentiments were hurt. The Gujarat court heard both sides of the argument and watched the movie as well. They decided that it was fit for release and it came out on Netflix without huge promotions.

Going into the story of ‘Maharaj’, Siddharth P Malhotra made this film based on the Maharaj Libel case of 1862. Karshan Das (Junaid Khan) who is a responsible journalist decides to expose the secrets of KK alias Maharaj (Jaideep Ahlawat) who is being regarded as a god by everyone. He reveals how Maharaj is conning everyone in the name of god and deceiving young women as well. The case reaches court and despite all odds, Karshan Das fights legally and wins the battle.

Yash Raj Films banner bankrolled this project which is based on Sourabh Shah’s book. Siddharth faltered in making the story which happened 150 years ago. Despite having an interesting plotline, the execution went wrong and the screenplay failed to engage the audience. The courtroom drama was written well but a lot of such films arrived in recent times. Jaideep, Shalini and Sharvari did well but Junaid Khan was strictly okay. Despite all the controversy, ‘Maharaj’ turns into a disappointing fare.

Fans of Vijay Deverakonda are eagerly awaiting his return to form after a string of films that failed to resonate at the box office. His last commercial success came with “Taxiwaala” in 2018, and subsequent projects like “Dear Comrade,” “World Famous Lover,” “Liger,” “Khushi,” and “Family Star” haven’t yielded the desired results.

The upcoming science fiction film “Kalki 2898 AD” has sparked excitement amongst fans, particularly due to speculation surrounding Deverakonda’s involvement. The film boasts a star-studded cast, with Prabhas confirmed to play the role of bounty hunter Bhairava, Amitabh Bachchan portraying Ashwatthama, and Deepika Padukone taking on the role of Kalki’s mother. Veteran actor Kamal Haasan will portray the enigmatic Supreme Yashkin, who wields power in this dystopian world. Actresses Disha Patani, Anna Ben, Sobhana, and Malavika Nair are also part of the ensemble cast.

While the makers have revealed details about these characters, they have remained tight-lipped about the role essayed by Deverakonda, known for his moniker “Rowdy Hero.” This secrecy has fueled speculation amongst fans, especially after a glimpse of an epic Kurukshetra battle scene appears in the film’s second trailer. Eagle-eyed viewers believe they spotted Deverakonda in this particular shot, potentially portraying the mythological warrior Arjuna.

The official confirmation of Deverakonda’s role and character remains shrouded in mystery until the film’s release on June 27th, 2024. Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Ashwini Dutt under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner, “Kalki 2898 AD” promises a visually stunning experience with music composed by Santosh Narayan. Keerthy Suresh lends her voice to the film’s vehicle “Bujji,” while Djordje Stojilijkovic handles cinematography. Talks of a guest appearance by Dulquer Salmaan add another layer of intrigue to this highly anticipated project.
