Director Nag Ashwin’s film Kalki 2898 AD made a significant impact at the box office, breaking several records and setting new benchmarks in the Indian film industry. The genre-blending film combined science fiction with Indian mythology, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024 so far. After a successful theatrical run, the film launched on Prime Video today in Telugu, with dubs in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, and subtitles in English. Despite strong performances from the cast, Amitabh Bachchan stood out with his portrayal of the immortal Ashwatthama. As Kalki 2898 AD premieres globally on Prime Video, Nag Ashwin shared his experience working with Big B.
Nag Ashwin opens up about his experience working with Amitabh Bachchan; says, “I think Bachchan sir was, is a legend”
Nag Ashwin said, “I think Bachchan sir was, is a legend and he was extremely gracious in how much patience he had with us as a team and as a very young team actually trying to pull off something that usually somebody from his generation might not be very comfortable, with so much CG, so much green screen, but he was extremely gracious and patient with the whole process, he would come, sit and wait while we figured out. Some stuff took longer than we planned and his experience, especially in the action parts, I think shows on screen, which is why people enjoy it so much.”
Kalki 2898 AD is the first installment in the Kalki Cinematic Universe. Set in 2898 AD, the film takes place in the barren city of Kashi, considered the first city in the world. In a dystopian era ruled by Supreme Yaskin, SUM80 emerges as the bearer of Lord Kalki, the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu, threatening Yaskin’s reign. The central question remains: will SUM80, with the help of Bhairava, Ashwatthama, and a group of rebels from Shambhala, be able to protect her life, or will she fall to Yaskin’s mysterious Project K?
Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Priyanka Dutt, C. Aswani Dutt, and Swapna Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies, Kalki 2989 AD features Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani in key roles. The action-adventure film is now streaming on Prime Video in Telugu, with dubs in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, and subtitles in English.
