Kalki 2898 AD: The highly anticipated sci-fi film, 'Kalki 2898 AD', featuring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, has witnessed a shift in its release date. The movie, initially slated for a January release, will now hit theatres worldwide on May 9. The decision to postpone the release was fueled by the desire for a solo, undisputed run at the box office. This strategic move comes on the heels of Prabhas' recent release, 'Salaar', which hit screens on December 22, 2023. To ensure ample breathing space for the actor's previous film, the 'Kalki 2898 AD' team opted to push back the release date.

A noteworthy aspect of this decision is its positive reception among fans of Deepika Padukone. The talented actress is set to showcase her action-packed prowess in 'Fighter', scheduled for release on January 25. Had 'Kalki' adhered to its original January release, it would have inevitably clashed with Deepika's box office venture.

The official Instagram post of Kalki 2898 AD film's page says, "The story that ended 6000 years ago. Begins May 9th, 2024. The future unfolds. #Kalki2898AD", adding to the building anticipation among fans. Amitabh Bachchan shared the same post on his Instagram handle.

Adding to the film's uniqueness, 'Kalki 2898 AD' had a grand launch at ComicCon last year, offering enthusiasts a sneak peek into the dystopian future it portrays.

Notably, the film boasts an ensemble cast, with legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan taking on lead roles.

As the new release date approaches, "Kalki 2898 AD" stands poised to captivate audiences with its innovative storyline and stellar performances. The decision to postpone a solo box office run only amplifies the eagerness surrounding this cinematic spectacle, promising a memorable experience for sci-fi enthusiasts and fans alike.
