Describing the trailer as “mindblowing!!!!”, Abhishek’s excitement was palpable as he tagged the ensemble cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Nag Ashwin, along with the production house Vyjayanthi Movies.
For those who missed it, the trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Kalki 2898 AD, set in a dystopian Kaashi, the last bastion of humanity on Earth. Amidst the struggle for survival, a pregnant woman portrayed by Deepika Padukone becomes the focal point of a power struggle, with Amitabh Bachchan’s Ashwatthama recognizing the divine significance of her unborn child.
Adding to the intrigue is Prabhas as Bhairava, a formidable force determined to protect the pregnant woman against the machinations of the ruling king, played by Saswata Chatterjee. The trailer also showcases Kamal Haasan in a role that promises to be a departure from his previous portrayals.
