Kalki makers urge Kamal to join the shoot. Following the success of the sci-fi thriller "Kalki 2898 AD", there's growing anticipation for a sequel. Director Nag Ashwin is eager to begin filming and has requested Kamal Haasan, who impressed audiences with his portrayal of Supreme Yaskin in the first installment, to dedicate 30-40 days for crucial scenes.
While Kamal's performance in "Kalki" was a special appearance, it stole the show, leading to the expectation that his role will be significantly expanded in the sequel. However, Kamal's current commitment to the film "Thug Life" and his pursuit of knowledge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the USA might complicate his participation in "Kalki 2".
The legendary actor is set to spend 90 days in the US to delve into the nuances of AI and its applications. He's also determined to complete at least 50% of "Thug Life", marking his reunion with director Mani Ratnam after a 30-year hiatus. These commitments could potentially delay his availability for "Kalki 2".
Despite his busy schedule, Kamal Haasan enjoys immense popularity in Telugu cinema, having starred in several successful films like "Sagara Sangamam", "Swathi Muthyam", and "Indrudu Chandrudu". He has also gained immense popularity through the dubbed versions of his films like "Bharateeyudu" and "Bhamane Satyabhamane". While "Indian 2" may not have resonated with Telugu viewers as anticipated, Kamal's star power in the region remains undeniable.
It remains to be seen how Kamal will manage his diverse projects and whether he'll be able to accommodate "Kalki 2" in his schedule. Fans anxiously await news about his potential involvement and the future of the sci-fi franchise.
