Get ready for an epic clash of past and future! Nag Ashwin’s upcoming sci-fi film, Kalki 2898 AD, features characters linked to the Mahabharata, creating a thrilling connection between mythology and a dystopian world.
The trailer reveals Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama, cursed with immortality for his actions in the Mahabharata. Here, he seeks redemption by protecting Deepika Padukone, who carries the potential to give birth to the prophesied Kalki, the 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Malvika Nair portrays Uttara, Abhimanyu’s wife from the Mahabharata. The film might showcase the attack on her by Ashwatthama, a crucial event in the ancient epic.
The possibility exists for references to other immortal beings from the Mahabharata. This includes Ashwatthama’s fellow warrior Kripacharya, and the author of the Mahabharata himself, Ved Vyas.
Since the film revolves around Lord Vishnu’s avatar, Kalki, there might be connections to other figures associated with him. Hanuman, the immortal devotee of Lord Rama (another Vishnu avatar), and Parashurama, a previous incarnation of Vishnu, could potentially be linked to the story.
The film acknowledges its source material. Sage Agastya, the author of the Kalki Purana that inspired the movie’s concept, is likely to be referenced or even appear.
Kalki 2898 AD boasts a stellar cast alongside these mythological characters. Disha Patani, Kamal Haasan, and Saswata Chatterjee play pivotal roles in this epic journey.
Kalki 2898 AD releases worldwide on June 27th, promising an action-packed adventure that blends futuristic themes with the rich tapestry of Indian mythology.
