Kalki 2898 AD is a highly-anticipated film set in a distant future where the city of Kasi endures in a desertified world under the oppressive rule of Supreme Yaskin's totalitarian regime. The city is overshadowed by the Complex, a massive floating structure resembling an inverted pyramid. Blending Indian mythology with a dystopian setting, the story spans millennia, starting from the events of the Mahabharata in 3102 BC, marking the beginning of Kali Yuga, and extending to the futuristic year of 2898 AD. At the heart of the narrative is the mysterious figure of Kalki, regarded as the tenth and final avatar of Vishnu, around whom the story unfolds.
