The production banner of Prabhas's Kalki 2898 AD, Vyjayanthi Movies, has released three new posters from the bilingual film from writer-director Nag Ashwin. The posters are of the characters of Saswata Chatterjee, namely Commander Manas, and of the child actor who plays the character featuring alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the trailer and Pasupathi, the popular Tamil actor who plays rebel leader Veeran in the film.
The science-fiction film stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, Disha Patani, Anna Ben, Shobana, among others. The film is reportedly set in a post-apocalyptic universe and revolves around a prophesied saviour who emerges to ward off evil forces.
Chatterjee plays an oligarchic ruler on the hunt for a warrior woman named Padma (Padukone). Additionally, Keerthy Suresh, the lead actor in Nag Ashwin's directorial debut Mahanati, provides the voiceover for the character of Bujji, the robotic automobile friend of Bhairava (Prabhas). It is to be noted that the character posters for Shobana and Anna Ben, who play Mariam and Kyra in the film, respectively, were released earlier this week.
The film has music by Santosh Narayanan, cinematography by Djordje Stojiljkovic, production design by Nitin Zihani Choudhary, editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao, as well as art design by Anil Jadhav, Santosh Shetty, Velu, and Rembon.
Produced by C Aswani Dutt, Swapna Dutt, and Priyanka Dutt under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner, Kalki 2898 AD is slated for a June 27 release.
