As the release date of Nag Ashwin's highly awaited film, 'Kalki 2898 AD', approaches, the makers are ramping up their promotional efforts with a series of exciting announcements. Earlier this month, the trailer was unveiled which sheds light on a post-apocalyptic world with an acute lack of resources where water is a luxury.
Amitabh Bachchan essays the role of Ashwatthama and vows to protect Deepika Padukone, who is shown to be pregnant in the film trailer. The child presumably will end the reign of Saswata Chatterjee, who resides in the complex with all the facilities that are needed to sustain life.
