Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama
First things first, Amitabh Bachchan is in the role of Ashwatthama. He totally did justice to the role. Here's his story: Ashwatthama was cursed by Lord Krishna during the time of the Mahabharata to roam around until the end of Kali Yuga with pus oozing out of his face. Being from the Mahabharat era made him more powerful than any other human
Prabhas' Little Secret
Prabhas' character is named Bhairva, which made many of us believe that he is playing Lord Bhairav, but that's not true. Later in the film, it is revealed that he is none other than the reincarnation of Surya Putra Karna
Deepika Padukone as Sum80/Sumati
As per mythology, Sumati was the woman who would give birth to Kalki, the 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Nurturing a god in her womb makes Deepika’s character different from other women. She has the support of the universe, which saves her from anything that can harm her
The Villain Yaskin
Kamal Haasan played a character named Yaskin, who is the villain in the movie. He has some extraordinary powers and is growing more dangerous by injecting the serum of pregnant girls into his body
The Complex
Oh, this is what the entire world is fighting for. The Complex is a human-made township with all the amenities: sunlight, water, greenery, fruits, and everything one needs to have a happy life. The villain Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) has extracted these things from the real world
The Lab
In the Complex, there's a lab where scientists are conducting weird experiments, making women artificially pregnant. The technology they have is beyond human science right now. It's bizarre and scary
Shambhala
A township away from all the chaos of the real world, safe, sound, full of amenities, and away from the reach of the Complex. During the COVID period, we learned a new term 'bio-bubble,' and that is how you can best understand Shambhala
Bhujji the Car
In the film, Prabhas owns a car named Bhujji. It is a high-tech model with several upgrades. Bhujji can talk, scan people and provide their entire bio-data. She can fly and transform into a giant robot
Everything Is an Illusion
The movie has tried to use illusions at its best, whether it is Prabhas using them to fight his opponents or Shambhala trying to hide their location by projecting a mountain
