Kalki 2898 AD producer Aswini Dutt has dropped major updates on the sequel of the Prabhas starrer. Read on to know more.
Kalki 2898 AD was a massive hit at the box office. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film starred Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Amitabh Bachchan in key roles. After the huge success of the movie, fans began eagerly waiting for its sequel, which was officially confirmed by the team. Now, producer Aswini Dutt has shared exciting updates about Kalki 2 and revealed interesting details about its characters.
As per reports by Gulte, the producer of Kalki 2898 AD mentioned that the sequel will mainly focus on three important characters—Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Kamal Haasan.
The first part of the movie featured many characters and explored vast storylines. While Amitabh Bachchan’s role was important, Kamal Haasan’s screen time was very limited, leaving some fans disappointed. During promotions, Kamal Haasan assured fans that his role in the sequel will be much longer.
“Kamal Haasan will have maximum screen time in the sequel. The scenes between Prabhas and Kamal will be very engaging. Amitabh Bachchan’s character will also play a key role. Deepika Padukone’s role will remain important as well. I don’t think there will be any new characters in the second part,” said Aswini Dutt, as quoted by Gulte.
In an exclusive interaction with Pinkvilla, Kamal Haasan spoke about why he chose to be part of the Nag Ashwin directorial. He said, “I signed Kalki 2898 AD mainly for the second part. My role in the first part is very small, and I shot for just a few days. But it’s the next part that truly excited me. I appreciated the trust the makers showed by signing me for a sequel that was yet to be made.”
Meanwhile, Kalki 2898 AD became one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of 2024. The sequel is currently in the pre-production stage. Deepika Padukone will reprise her role in Kalki 2 alongside Prabhas. However, the makers are keeping other details about the film under wraps for now.
