The wait is finally over! After numerous posters, teasers, and delays, the makers of 'Kalki 2898 AD' have released the film’s trailer. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this post-apocalyptic film, inspired by Hindu scriptures, is set in the year 2898 AD. The movie stars Prabhas as Bhairava, an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, with Amitabh Bachchan portraying the immortal Ashwatthama. The cast also includes Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani in significant roles.
The 183-second trailer more than makes up for the delays and lack of promotional materials so far, introducing us to the unique world of Bhairava. It starts with children learning about Kaashi, the first city in the new world. As the trailer progresses, it reveals the ongoing power struggle and the consistent oppression of the underprivileged. However, it also heralds the return of a power that has existed for 6,000 years. Enter Bhairava, who has “never lost a fight to date.” This battle, however, won’t be easy for him, as the trailer concludes with a glimpse of the formidable evil (Kamal Haasan) he must face. “Fret not, a new era is arriving,” the devil says, setting the stage for the ultimate battle.
'Kalki 2898 AD' will hit theatres on June 27.
