A recent preview of the world of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ featuring Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama captivated fans, particularly with the impressive de-aging transformation of the iconic actor. The character reveal, a true pan-India teaser, presented a mix of languages including Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and English. The 21-second teaser commences with Bachchan, adorned in warm earthy tones, seated in a cave, engaged in prayer to a Shiva linga. Accompanied by a serene backdrop of calming music, a child’s voice is faintly heard inquiring, “Can you not die? Are you divine? Who are you?”
With escalating tension, Bachchan’s resonant voice proclaims, “Since ancient times, I have awaited the arrival of the Avatar. I am Guru Drona’s son. Ashwatthama,” he asserts firmly.
Sharing his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) earlier in the day, Bachchan penned, “It’s been an experience for me like no other. The mind to think such a product, the execution, the exposure to modern technology and above all the company of colleagues with stratospheric Super star presence.”
Several months ago, Ashwin disclosed captivating details about the grand science-fiction venture, assuring audiences that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ would deliver an extraordinary visual feast. Addressing the Synapse 2024 event in Gurgaon, Ashwin expressed, “I just wish that there was more tech to help us make this film, like three-four years back when we were in preproduction. We are creating this new world like… I am just looking at this picture right now on the screen, and all these different worlds that we are trying to create, we work with so many different concept artists and giving prompts, obviously, again, in a very personal, one-on-one sort of way, and try to give references and build this world.”
Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is poised to be the biggest cinematic event of the year. With its stellar cast, the movie is eagerly preparing for its release on June 27, 2024.
