After a prolonged hiatus, Director Nag Ashwin is embarking on an ambitious project titled Kalki 2898 AD, also referred to as Project K. The film stars Prabhas in the lead role, marking a significant collaboration. Adding to the excitement, Bollywood luminary Deepika Padukone is poised to make her Telugu debut with this venture, portraying the film's leading lady.

When questioned about the intriguing choice of the title 2898 AD, Nag Ashwin provided insight, explaining that tracing back 6000 years from 2898 AD leads to 3102 BC, the period during which Lord Krishna is believed to have passed away. This historical and mythological connection forms the bedrock of Kalki 2898 AD, imbuing it with depth and resonance. Nag Ashwin's confidence in the project elevates anticipation, hinting at a cinematic experience that transcends boundaries to encapsulate the essence of Indian heritage.

Kalki 2898 AD is produced by VyjayanthiFilms, with stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan joining the cast, further augmenting its stature. Additionally, Disha Patani is set to enthrall audiences with a special song performance in this eagerly awaited cinematic endeavor.
