Kalki 2898 AD teaser: Helmed by Nag Ashwin, the epic sci-fi dystopian film features Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani in pivotal roles.
Prabhas, being the benevolent actor that he is, spares producers of overhead expenses like cost of makeup artists, managers and caravan maintenance expenses among other indirect expenses.
The characters Deva and Vardha in Salaar are merely amplified versions of Surya and Devaraj from Thalapathi, ruling over the larger and more affluent kingdom of Khansaar, while being consistently high on testosterone, but with low EQ.
Director Nag Ashwin recently opened up about Kalki 2898 AD and shared several details regarding the epic mythological-science fiction dystopian film's futuristic world.
When asked whether Kalki 2898 AD could be India's Star Wars, Nag Ashwin expressed his desire for it to be recognised as "India's Kalki", underscoring that he is not attempting to replicate anything.
