With the buzz surrounding its impending release, ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ under the astute direction of Nag Ashwin, stands as one of the most highly anticipated cinematic ventures of 2024. Featuring a star-studded ensemble including the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, this cinematic extravaganza promises to captivate audiences with its visionary narrative. Recently, at the Synapse 2024 event held in Gurgaon, director Nag Ashwin provided insights into the film’s ambitious scope, its connection to the Mahabharat, and the transformative role of technology in its creation.
Reflecting on the challenges and aspirations of the filmmaking process, Nag Ashwin remarked, “I fervently wish that technological advancements had been more accessible to us during the preproduction phase, three to four years ago. We are meticulously crafting a new universe, akin to envisioning the imagery displayed on this very screen. Collaborating with numerous concept artists, we endeavor to imbue our narrative with authenticity, seamlessly traversing from the era of the Mahabharat to the distant future of 2898 AD. Spanning a staggering 6,000 years, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ embarks on a journey through time and space, all while preserving its quintessentially Indian essence, evading the trappings of a generic science fiction spectacle.”
‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ produced by Vyjayanthi Movies and helmed by Nag Ashwin, emerges as a multilingual masterpiece slated for release on May 9th, 2024, inviting audiences to embark on an unprecedented cinematic odyssey.
