Kamal Haasan Assures His Part Just Begins In Kalki Cinematic Universe

Everyone got surprised when an official announcement has been made about Kamal Haasan greeting onboard for Prabhas's 'Kalki 2898 AD' as an antagonist. Though it is not new, that Kamal is doing negative roles but he is the main character in those films or in dual roles. But, this time it is different he chose to do villain roles opposite a big star like Prabhas and that too when his second innings is going great with Blockbuster 'Vikram' followed by Bharateeyudu 2 / Indian 2 and Maniratnam directorial 'Thug Life'. 

Audience got even more shocked after watching the film where Kamal Haasan was seen only in three scenes with a very limited screentime. Breaking all these doubts, Kamal himself spoke about 'Kalki 2898 AD' and why he did the role. Kamal Haasan has impressed fans with his portrayal of Supreme Yaskin in the recently released sci-fi thriller 'Kalki 2898 AD'.

Speaking to the media after a movie screening in Chennai, the veteran actor mentioned that he knew that he has minimal screen time in Kalki 2898 AD but will have a larger role in Part 2 of the movie. "We are seeing signs that Indian cinema is becoming more global, and Kalki 2898 AD is a part of that trend. Nag Ashwin handled mythology without bias. Only Japan, China, and Greece have storytelling traditions comparable to India's. Ashwin selected stories from these traditions and united everyone with patience," he added.

Kamal praised actor Amitabh Bachchan's performance in the film, expressing uncertainty about how to classify him afterwards. "I'm unsure whether to call him a veteran or a newcomer. He portrayed the role exceptionally well." Meanwhile, Kalki registered a record opening at the global box office, earning Rs 191.5 crore gross on day one of its release, the makers said on Friday.
