'Kalki 2898 AD,' starring Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Kamal Haasan in the lead roles, has been making headlines since its announcement. The Nag Ashwin directorial has managed to surpass Rs 200 crore at the box office in just three days in India. With multiple cameos and several Mahabharat references, fans are curious to know more. While Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone's characters and their references to the epic battle are quite clear, the audience is now excited to know more about who exactly is the deadly villain, Supreme Yaskin (played by Kamal Haasan). We believe we have an answer to your curiosities. Let's first take a look at what Nag Ashwin has shown in his film: In the film, it is shown that Supreme Yaskin is working on Project K. Although not much has been revealed about the project, it is clear that he intends to create a life-extending serum through artificially inseminated human fetuses. Yaskin is currently looking for a woman who can carry the fetus for the required time in the womb. Yaskin is connected to several cords that keep him alive, and his look reminds us of a human fetus that has yet to become a fully grown human being. Yaskin's goal to become a superpower and his wish to kill Sumati's (Deepika) unborn child point toward his purpose to cause destruction. It aims at him trying to rule over all like a god. This premise reminds us of Kali, the mythological demon who is supposed to fight Kalki. The probable connection of Yaskin to mythology: It is said that Kalki is the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu, who is supposed to appear at the end of Kali Yuga to restore dharma. And it will be the asura Kali who will fight against Kalki. As per mythology, Kali governs a corrupt and violent phase of the Hindu cycle, where humanity forsakes the gods and morality gives way to rampant hostility and depravity. Now, with Yaskin being the one who wishes to kill the unborn Kalki and inject his serum into him, and mythology claiming Kali will fight against the 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, possibilities are that Nag Ashwin has taken some inspiration from the legend of Kalki to create his villain Yaskin. Even at the end of the film, Yaskin is seen reciting a Sanskrit shlok 'Jagannatha ratha chakraalu vastunnaai vastunnaai,' which translates to 'The wheels of Jagannatha's chariot are coming, they are coming.' This indicates that with one drop of serum from Sumati's fetus, the demon has realized that the Vishnu avatar is coming.

"When we developed an understanding of folk music, her true status was revealed to us. It was a great fortune that I got the opportunity to create a song with her. Rounds of tea, laughter, stories and paan continued and the song kept being created," the lyricist wrote on X. "My respects. Your voice is and will always be the background music of every Chhath festival," he added, sharing the link to Sinha's Maithili song "Mohi Lelkhin Sajni Mor Manwa". शारदा जी हम ग़ैर-बिहारियों के जीवन में “कहे तोहसे सजना” की आवाज़ के रूप में आयीं और फिर यहीं रह गई। जब लोक-संगीत की समझ बनी तो उनका असली दर्ज़ा हम पर खुला। बड़ा सौभाग्य रहा कि उनके साथ एक गीत बनाने का मौक़ा मिला। चाय, ठहाकों, क़िस्सों, और पान के दौर चलते रहे, गीत बनता रहा।नमन!… — वरुण 🇮🇳 (@varungrover) November 5, 2024 In a video about the making of the music of "Wasseypur", composer Sneha Khanwalkar described Sinha's voice as "pure wine" and recalled how they first met. "Anurag suggested, 'Do you want to try Sharda ji?' So I went to her house and I sang a few lines to her. She brought out her harmonium and sang those lines so I thought this is the best," Khanwalkar recalled. Sinha also sang the song "Nirmohiya" for the second season of the Bihar-set web series "Maharani", fronted by Qureshi. The actor, who plays the lead role of Rani Bharti in the Sony LIV show, shared a clip of the song on Instagram. "RIP@shardasinha_official ma'am," Qureshi wrote. Born in Supaul in Bihar, Sinha became famous not only in her home state but also in parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. A devotee of Chhath Puja, dedicated to the Sun god, the singer released a song to celebrate the festival every year. She did so this year too, notwithstanding her ill health. Sinha also died on the first day of the four-day festival. Sonu Nigam, Ravi Kishan mourn Sharda Sinha Popular playback singer Sonu Nigam said it was extremely saddening to lose "respected Sharda Sinha ji during the great festival of Chhath Puja". Bhojpuri actor and politician Ravi Kishan said without Sinha's voice, every festival seemed empty, especially the festival of Chhath, which is why "chhati maiya" called her back during this time. "The untimely demise of the popular singer, Bihar Kokila, Swar Samrajni, Padma Bhushan awardee respected Sharda Sinha ji is very sad. Chhath in UP and Bihar was incomplete without her music," wrote Bhojpuri actor-politician Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known by his stage name Nirahua. "I'm unable to come to terms with this. I hope this is fake news. She gave me so much love, I can't forget any of it. Irreparable loss. I'm speechless," said singer Kavita Seth in an Instagram post. Former Bhojpuri actor and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, who on Tuesday visited the bereaved family after Sinha's death at AIIMS-Delhi, shared a heartfelt post on the microblogging site. "Today I had my last darshan of elder sister Sharda Didi, who spread the sweetness of Bhojpuri across the country and the world through Chhathi Maiya and devotional music, at AIIMS Delhi. The demise of Didi Sharda is an irreparable loss for the Bhojpuri world and the country," he wrote on X. Sinha will be cremated with full state honours in her native Bihar on Wednesday. Her body is likely to arrive in Patna from Delhi in the afternoon. (With PTI inputs)
