Abhishek Bachchan was profoundly impressed by Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of Ashwatthama in the upcoming film “Kalki 2898 AD.” The film, which also stars Prabhas, features Amitabh in the role of the mythical immortal warrior.

“Kalki 2898 AD,” directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, also stars Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. At the Synapse 2024 event in Gurgaon, Ashwin revealed that the film spans a timeline beginning with the Mahabharata and ending in 2898 AD, covering a total of 6000 years. He emphasized the effort to create unique worlds while keeping the Indian essence intact, aiming not to mirror films like “Blade Runner.”
The film, heralded as one of the biggest Indian releases of the year, received global attention following its presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. With its ambitious narrative and high production values, “Kalki 2898 AD” promises to deliver a thrilling journey into a future reimagined through the lens of ancient mythology.
