With a staggering production budget of ₹600 crore (approximately US$72 million), “Kalki” stands as the most expensive Indian film ever made.
Release Date Update: Originally slated for release on May 9, 2024, the film was postponed due to the ongoing 2024 Indian General Election. Now, fans can mark their calendars for June 27, 2024, when “Kalki 2898 Ad” will transport them to a world of epic proportions.
