There's a growing sense of anticipation among moviegoers for Nag Ashwin's ambitious science fiction dystopian movie, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, which boasts a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. The excitement took a new turn recently when the filmmakers released the first glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan's character in the film, marking an important step forward in the lead-up to the release of what is one of the most eagerly awaited Indian films of the year.
Kalki 2898 AD Teaser
The 21-second teaser introduces Bachchan in a dramatic and mystical setting: he is seen sitting in a cave, clad in earth-toned robes, and praying to a Shiva linga. The scene is set against a backdrop of soothing music, and the moment is punctuated by the innocent inquiry of a child's voice in the background, asking, "Can you not die? Are you divine? Who are you?"
This teaser has certainly heightened the intrigue and anticipation surrounding the film. Check reactions here:
