Kalki 2898 AD KANNADA

Kalki 2898 AD at Victory Cinema Kalki 2898 AD creates a vast Telugu science-fiction adventure in which ancient prophecy, the Mahabharata and a distant dystopian future become part of the same cinematic world. The year is 2898 AD. Earth has been exhausted by centuries of conflict and environmental destruction, leaving ordinary people struggling for food, water and security. Above them rises the Complex, a technologically advanced fortress where the powerful enjoy resources unavailable to everyone living below. Prabhas leads the film as Bhairava, a determined bounty hunter whose greatest ambition is to earn enough units to enter the Complex. His pursuit of that dream places him in the middle of a battle involving SUM-80, an immortal warrior from the Mahabharata and forces serving the mysterious Supreme Yaskin. Written and directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD releases theatrically on 27 June 2024. The Telugu production carries a U/A certificate and an original theatrical running time of approximately three hours and one minute. Victory Cinema presents Kalki 2898 AD in Telugu with English subtitles for Prabhas fans and science-fiction audiences from across Bengaluru.

A future divided between Kashi and the Complex Kashi is presented as one of humanity’s final surviving cities. Its crowded streets are filled with people attempting to earn enough to eat, trade or escape the harsh conditions surrounding them. The Complex rises above this world as a symbol of absolute inequality. It possesses technology, clean surroundings and resources that appear almost unimaginable to the people living below. Entry is controlled, and Bhairava believes that reaching it will finally give him the comfortable life he has always wanted. The official synopsis describes a future in which a privileged elite enjoys extraordinary luxury while the remainder of humanity lives in darkness. A warrior must emerge to protect the person capable of bringing a new tomorrow. Nag Ashwin’s future is therefore not built only from spaceships and machines. It is shaped by scarcity, social hierarchy and the human desire to reach whichever place appears safer than the present. Prabhas as Bhairava Prabhas plays Bhairava, a highly capable fighter and bounty hunter who approaches the dangerous world around him with confidence, humour and relentless ambition. Bhairava does not initially see himself as a saviour. His immediate goal is personal advancement. Capturing valuable fugitives allows him to earn units, and earning enough units may finally provide access to the Complex. This practical motivation distinguishes him from a conventional hero driven from the beginning by duty. Bhairava must decide whether comfort and reward matter more than the lives affected by the assignments he accepts. The official Telugu trailer places Prabhas at the centre of the futuristic action alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan. It presents Bhairava as a formidable fighter navigating bounty hunters, advanced weapons and vehicles across the world of 2898 AD. Bujji: Bhairava’s intelligent companion Bhairava travels with Bujji, an artificial-intelligence companion integrated into his specially designed vehicle. Bujji is more than a machine that follows instructions. The character speaks to Bhairava, responds to his decisions and develops a recognisable personality. Their conversations bring humour and companionship into a world otherwise shaped by violence and scarcity. The makers introduced Bujji through a dedicated promotional event and official video before the theatrical release. The vehicle’s unconventional three-wheel construction and futuristic cockpit make it one of the film’s distinctive visual creations. Bujji also represents the film’s approach to technology. Machines may possess intelligence and personality, yet the people controlling society continue using advanced systems to strengthen inequality rather than improve life for everyone. Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama Amitabh Bachchan plays Ashwatthama, the immortal warrior from the Mahabharata whose existence connects the ancient past directly to the year 2898 AD. According to the epic tradition, Ashwatthama is condemned to continue living after the Kurukshetra war. Kalki 2898 AD imagines what such a warrior may have witnessed during thousands of years and why he becomes important when another decisive moment in human history approaches. The promotional campaign introduced Bachchan’s character through a separate video revealing his identity as Ashwatthama. His towering appearance, staff and battlefield presence establish him as a warrior carrying the physical and emotional weight of centuries. His mission places him in opposition to bounty hunters and armed forces seeking SUM-80. The encounter between Ashwatthama and Bhairava promises a confrontation between ancient power and futuristic combat. Deepika Padukone as SUM-80 Deepika Padukone plays SUM-80, a woman held inside the Complex as part of a secret programme. Her unexpected pregnancy makes her exceptionally valuable to Supreme Yaskin’s organisation and to people who believe that her unborn child may fulfil an ancient prophecy. SUM-80’s journey gives the spectacle its emotional and spiritual centre. She is pursued not because she seeks power, but because powerful groups believe that what she carries can alter humanity’s future. The central cast information identifies Deepika Padukone as SUM-80 opposite Prabhas’s Bhairava, Amitabh Bachchan’s Ashwatthama and Kamal Haasan’s Supreme Yaskin. Her attempt to escape the Complex transforms the story from a bounty assignment into a struggle involving survival, faith and the possibility of renewal. Kamal Haasan as Supreme Yaskin Kamal Haasan appears as Supreme Yaskin, the mysterious ruler associated with the Complex. Yaskin possesses extraordinary authority over the remaining resources and technological power of the future. His organisation conducts experiments and controls access to the protected world above Kashi. The trailers reveal only limited details about him, preserving uncertainty regarding his physical condition, ambitions and ultimate objective. Kamal Haasan’s transformed appearance gives the character an unsettling presence even before the full extent of his power becomes clear. Yaskin represents a system in which one ruler and a privileged group decide who receives comfort, medical advancement and protection. SUM-80’s pregnancy threatens that control because it introduces a future he may not be able to command. Disha Patani as Roxie Disha Patani plays Roxie, a character connected to Bhairava’s desire to experience life inside the Complex. Roxie provides a closer view of the luxury and entertainment available to people admitted into the protected world. Her scenes with Bhairava contrast sharply with the hardship visible across Kashi. The official trailers and cast announcements place Disha Patani alongside the principal ensemble led by Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone. Through Roxie, Bhairava can briefly see the future he believes he wants. The experience also gives him reason to examine whether the Complex’s comfort is worth the human suffering required to preserve it. Shambhala and the final hope Beyond Kashi and the Complex lies Shambhala, a hidden settlement whose people continue believing that humanity can be restored. Its residents protect traditions, prophecy and the possibility that a new age may begin. This makes Shambhala the ideological opposite of the Complex. The Complex preserves life for a limited elite through control. Shambhala preserves hope by protecting the person believed capable of changing the future. The film’s world-building centres on three visually distinct environments: Kashi, the Complex and Shambhala. Each represents a different response to civilisation’s collapse—survival through desperation, survival through domination and survival through faith. SUM-80’s journey towards Shambhala places these worlds on a collision course. Mythology meets futuristic science fiction Nag Ashwin builds Kalki 2898 AD around the idea that the Mahabharata’s influence can continue thousands of years beyond its familiar historical setting. Ashwatthama provides the clearest connection, but the title also refers to Kalki, traditionally described as the final avatar of Vishnu who arrives when disorder and moral decline have reached their greatest extent. The film does not present mythology as a separate flashback disconnected from the future. Ancient promises, curses and unfinished responsibilities continue influencing characters living among artificial intelligence, advanced weapons and flying vehicles. The official synopsis and promotional campaign consistently position the film as an action-packed science-fiction epic inspired by Indian scripture and centred on the arrival of a new tomorrow. This combination gives Kalki 2898 AD an identity distinct from science-fiction stories based entirely upon Western futuristic traditions. Nag Ashwin’s ambitious cinematic world Nag Ashwin writes and directs the film after developing a story intended to unite Indian mythology with large-scale futuristic adventure. C. Aswani Dutt produces Kalki 2898 AD under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner. The ensemble includes Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, Shobana and Saswata Chatterjee. The production was initially announced under the working title Project K before the official title was revealed. Sets, vehicles, costumes and digital environments were developed to establish a world extending from ancient Kurukshetra to the final centuries of the Kali Yuga. Rather than using mythology only as decorative imagery, the screenplay makes ancient characters and beliefs active forces inside its future conflict. Futuristic production design Nitin Zihani Choudhary leads the production design, creating the physical identity of Kashi, the Complex, Shambhala and the machinery used by their inhabitants. Kashi is assembled from damaged structures, recycled technology and crowded spaces. The Complex uses cleaner geometry and advanced materials to communicate its separation from ordinary humanity. Shambhala carries a different visual language rooted in community, faith and natural forms. The contrast allows audiences to recognise immediately which idea of civilisation each world represents. The film’s credits identify Djordje Stojiljkovic as cinematographer, Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao as editor and Nitin Zihani Choudhary as production designer. The large sets and digital extensions are designed to make the world feel inhabited rather than merely functioning as a background for action. Djordje Stojiljkovic’s cinematography Djordje Stojiljkovic handles the cinematography, balancing vast futuristic environments with character-centred drama. The dry landscapes surrounding Kashi establish the environmental collapse of the future, while the illuminated interiors of the Complex reveal the resources withheld from the population below. Action scenes involve armoured fighters, advanced weapons, airborne movement and vehicles travelling through open terrain. The cinematography must preserve the scale of these encounters while allowing audiences to understand where Bhairava, Ashwatthama and SUM-80 are positioned. The official credits identify Stojiljkovic as director of photography and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao as editor. The resulting imagery supports a story moving between mythology, dystopian hardship and futuristic spectacle. Santhosh Narayanan’s music Santhosh Narayanan composes the songs and background score, giving each part of the world its own musical identity. “Bujji Theme,” released before the film, introduces Bhairava’s artificial-intelligence companion through electronic rhythm and energetic vocals. “Bhairava Anthem” brings Prabhas together with Diljit Dosanjh for a forceful promotional track celebrating the bounty hunter’s confidence and style. “Theme of Kalki” draws upon the idea of Vishnu’s avatars and provides a more spiritual musical foundation for the prophecy surrounding the story. These tracks were issued during the pre-release campaign through Saregama. Narayanan’s background score supports the contrast between Kashi’s desperation, the Complex’s mechanical authority, Ashwatthama’s ancient power and the hope represented by Shambhala. In a cinema auditorium, the percussion, choral passages and futuristic sound design add scale to battles, vehicles and mythological revelations.
