Each year the Busan International Film Festival screens movies at its outdoor stage. Among the titles this year was Kalki 2898 Ad, a sci-fi box-office sensation from India. The story pits superhero gods against each other in a dystopian future of deserts and decaying cities.
A passion project for writer-director Nag Ashwin, the film was shot over four years, interrupted at times due to the pandemic. More than 25 sets were built at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City. Nitin Zihani Choudhary’s production design included working models of specially designed vehicles, like the fan-favorite, AI-augmented Bujji chase car.
Like last year’s Rrr, the Telegu-language Kalki has crossed over to a broad audience partly on the strength of its all-star cast, earning over $18M at the U.S. box office alone when it was released this past summer. International icon Amitabh Bachchan plays immortal warrior Ashwatthama. Telegu action hero Prabhas is Bhairava,...

Kalki 2898 Ad Movie Review – ‘Kalki 2898 Ad‘ is Nag Ashwin’s ‘Cinematic Marvel’ which combines the myths and legends of the post-apocalyptic era that we have seen only through Hollywood films. Although there have been many movies based on myths and legends, this will be the first time a sci-fi movie will emerge that connects the past and the future.
What is the matter with Gandivam (Arjuna’s bow) and Chiranjeevi Aswatthama in a world dominated by AI technology and robots? That is where this ‘fictional story’ of Nag Ashwin becomes a spectacle beyond fiction.
After “Mahanati”, Nag Ashwin picked up this “Kalki”, which was touted as the biggest budget project in the history of Telugu cinema, a completely different story.
A pan India hero like Prabhas, along with Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwaththama, a character from the BC era, Kamal Haasan as the future character Yaskin, and Deepika Padukone as a pregnant woman.

Project K, the first Indian film to make its grand debut in Hall H at Comic-Con, made a lot of noise — a lot — today with a grand musical number that rivaled Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings orchestra and chorale last year.
A string of drummers lined the Hall H dais as a queue of women holding candles entered and danced ceremoniously onstage. Stars Prabhas and Kamal Hassan took the stage, and the crowd up front here went nuts. This was followed by a string of black-costumed sci-fi warriors. Watch the footage below.
The whole stunt drew load roars, chanting and cheers that weren’t heard in the previous panel. Seriously, the whole spectacle gives Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam a run for his money. In a dull year sans Marvel Studios and DC, it was the right pizzazz this place needed.

The Nag Ashwin directed and written sci-fi pic is inspired by Hindu mythology whereby an evil rises to destroy all Gods. The Indian star Prabhas is pictured in the one sheet like Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. He plays an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu, who descended from Earth to fight Evil. Amitabh Bachchan (who starred in 2013’s The Great Gatsby) beamed in. The movie also stars Deepika Padukone (xXx: Return of Xander Cage), who skipped Comic-Con out of respect for SAG-AFTRA actors striking. Actor Kamal Hassan was here as well as Indian superstar Prabhas in the flesh. The director’s elevator pitch for the movie: “The End Begins”
The trailer, which was shown twice, looks like Dune –and that’s high praise– with Prabhas playing a Paul Atreides-type. Watch it above.
The film has been shooting for two years, but prepping for four under the title Project K. It just received a title today, Kalki 2898 A.D. The pic hits theaters in 2024. Vyjayanthi Movies is behind the $75M production.
Ashwin made his directorial debut in 2015 with the coming-of-age philosophical drama film, Yevade Subramanyam. In 2018, he directed the biographical film, Mahanati.
Prabhas starred in S.S. Rajamouli’s epic action drama, Baahubali: The Beginning, which is the thirteenth-highest-grossing Indian film to date. He later reprised his role in its sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which became the first Indian film ever to gross north of $155M.
