The filmmaker known for his magnum opus films 'Baahubali: The Beginning, 'Baahubali The Conclusion' and 'RRR' took to X to share his review of 'Kalki 2898 AD'. "Loved the world-building of #Kalki2898AD… It transported me into various realms with its incredible settings," he wrote praising the visuals of the movie.
He added, "Darling just killed it with his timing and ease… Great support from Amitabh ji, Kamal sir, and Deepika. The last 30 minutes of the film took me to a whole new world. Kudos to Nagi and the entire Vyjayanthi team for their unmatched efforts in executing it."
Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD boasts a stellar cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani. With such an ensemble, the film is definitely a must watch. Director Nag Ashwin has hinted at a fresh perspective on the Mahabharata. The film's futuristic setting suggests the story might incorporate science fiction elements alongside the established mythology. The film's exploration goes beyond mere aesthetics. Nag Ashwin suggests a potential reimagining of the Mahabharata's core themes – dharma (righteousness) and karma (consequences of actions) – in the context of a future society with its complex moral landscape.
