Director Nag Ashwin's sci-fi film "Kalki 2898 AD" has taken the global box office by storm, grossing over $84 million and ranking No. 3 worldwide. With a budget of $72 million, the film is among India's most expensive productions to date. Set in a post-apocalyptic setting, the story follows Bhairava, played by Prabhas, a warrior entangled in an ancient prophecy. Amitabh Bachchan portrays Ashwatthama, an immortal from Indian mythology, and Deepika Padukone as Sumathi, carrying the unborn Kalki, a Vishnu avatar. Kamal Haasan plays the antagonist Supreme Yaskin. Blending Indian mythology with futuristic technology, the film showcases epic battles that transcend physical and spiritual realms. Ashwin's vision took four years to bring to life, with challenges in visual effects and international collaborations. As the film hints at a larger universe, a sequel is in the works, promising to tie up loose ends from the original. Audience reception has been overwhelmingly positive, paving the way for international releases in Japan and potentially China.
