'Kalki 2898 AD' is one of the most awaited films releasing in 2024 and has created a lot of excitement among audiences. The movie has a stellar star cast and is also one of the movie expensive Indian films to be ever made. The makers recently organised a grand pre-release event to introduce a new character from 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Prabhas entered the stage in his futuristic car, which will have a pivotal role in the movie.

Introducing Bujji, the official X page of 'Kalki 2898 AD' wrote, "Darlings... In life, you meet people for the first time only once. World, meet #Bujji..."

Apart from Prabhas, the movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan in the pivotal role. He will be seen as Ashwatthama, who is immortal and waiting for the return of Kalki. For the unversed, Ashwatthama has been mentioned in the epic Mahabharata. Ashwatthama is the son of Dronacharya and Kripi and is believed to be the fifth avatar of Lord Shiva. According to the Mahabharata, Ashwatthama’s name means “the sacred voice, similar to that of a horse.” He is named so because he cried like a horse at the time of his birth.

It was rumoured that Dulquer Salmaan would also be a part of 'Kalki 2898 AD'. During his interaction with Telugu media while promoting 'King Of Kotha', Dulquer was asked if he would be seen in 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Without revealing many details about the film, he said that he was blown away after seeing the sets of the film.

“I can’t reveal anything about Project K. I’ll just tell you, I went to the sets and was blown away (by its grandiose nature). Only Nagi (Nag Ashwin) can think like that. He’s a director who never fails to surprise. Be it 'Yevade Subramanyam' or 'Mahanati' and then he goes on to do 'Project K', which is set in the future. The sets were so amazing. But I don’t know if I am in the film or not,” he said.

'Kalki 2898 AD' also stars Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani.
