The much-awaited Project K has finally unveiled its teaser, now rebranded as “Kalki 2898 – AD.” Revealed at the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), the teaser offers a glimpse into a dystopian world shrouded in darkness. In the midst of this darkness, a powerful force emerges, embodied by the stellar trio of Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan. The text “When the world is taken over by darkness, a force will rise” boldly appears on the screen, signifying Prabhas and his squad’s determination to transform the world for the better. The epic journey commences under the title of “Project K.”
The audience is eagerly anticipating these on-screen heroes’ battle against darkness, as they embark on a journey that will shape the destiny of humanity. We can only hope and believe that the force will be with them in their endeavor. Prabhas took to social media to share the teaser and the revised title, stating, “Project K is now Kalki 2898 – AD. Here’s a small glimpse into our world.”
During the Comic-Con event, Vyjayanthi Movies, the film’s production house, shared some exciting scenes from the teaser. Additionally, it was revealed that Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media is on board as the international marketing and distribution partner for “Kalki 2898 – AD.”
However, notable actress Deepika Padukone, a vital part of this ambitious project, could not attend the Comic-Con due to her commitment to supporting the Hollywood strike. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA), Deepika is advocating for better pay and enhanced protection against artificial intelligence in the film and television industry.
Steering the directorial helm of “Kalki 2898 – AD” is the renowned Nag Ashwin, best known for directing the critically acclaimed 2018 biographical drama, “Mahanati.” This film marks the first collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Prabhas, with Deepika having previously shared the screen with Amitabh Bachchan in the 2015 hit “Piku.” Moreover, they are set to reunite in the Hindi remake of the Hollywood film “The Intern,” which originally starred Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro.
“Kalki 2898 – AD” is set to be an ambitious multi-lingual release, gracing theaters in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. Behind the scenes, Aswini Dutt, the producer, and founder of Vyjayanthi Movies, lends unwavering support to this visionary project.
As the anticipation builds for “Kalki 2898 – AD,” audiences eagerly await the day when the force will rise and change the fate of the world. With a stellar cast, accomplished director, and gripping storyline, this film has all the ingredients to conquer the darkness that looms ahead. May the force be with Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan as they embark on their epic journey to inspire and entertain us all.
