Nag Ashwin on Kalki 2898 AD Mahabharat connection. Nag Ashwin, the visionary director behind the highly anticipated film "Kalki 2898 AD," recently unveiled the intriguing concept behind the film's title. He explained, "Our film starts in the Mahabharat period, and it ends in 2898. That’s the title of the film. It is called Kalki 2898 AD. It spans that 6000-year sort of distance in time."
Delving deeper into the creative process, Nag Ashwin shared, "We are trying to create worlds that are there here, imagining what it could be like. We will still keep it Indian, and our challenge is not to make it look like Blade Runner (a Hollywood sci-fi film)." This ambitious approach sets the stage for a cinematic experience unlike any other.
The filmmaker also highlighted an intriguing connection to Indian mythology, stating, "If we go back 6000 years back in time from 2898 AD, we will arrive at 3102 BC, which is when they say the last avatar of Krishna passed." This blending of futuristic science fiction with ancient Indian lore adds depth and richness to the narrative, promising audiences a truly immersive experience.
These revelations from Nag Ashwin have sparked a frenzy on social media, generating immense buzz and anticipation for the film. With a stellar cast including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani in pivotal roles, "Kalki 2898 AD" is set to be a monumental cinematic event. Produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, this epic saga is scheduled to release on 9th May 2024, marking a date that fans around the world eagerly await.
