The first Indian film to be screened in Hall H of the San Diego Comic-Con was the subject of a stunning trailer released by Kalki 2898 AD news. It sets the 2023 SDCC on fire. The Indian production company Vyjayanthi Movies formerly known as Project K, unveiled its most ambitious project to date. It is attracting attention from all over the world for the upcoming sci-fi epic. Indian mythology and science fiction elements are combined in the film to create a dystopian “Spice Punk” world where darkness is encroaching and an incarnated hero must rise to the ultimate challenge.
The 2023 SDCC trailer essentially took the entire event by storm. As stated earlier, it is the first Indian movie to be shown in Hall H with a trailer and special panel. The epic RRR won both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe. Marking the beginning of Indian cinema’s significant influence on American viewers. The US saw the mainstreaming of Indian cinema thanks to RRR. Kalki 2898 AD is likely to be just one of many Indian films to achieve widespread international success.
Regretfully, there is no information available about the US release date of the film. Despite assurances that the movie will be distributed worldwide, the only release date for Kalki 2898 AD is January 12, 2024, in Indian theatres. The international release of the film is likely to happen shortly after. So viewers should anticipate seeing the movie in theatres in 2024—ideally sooner rather than later.
The upcoming science fiction epic has an impressive cast that includes many well-known Indian celebrities. Although the identities of many of these characters remain unknown. The main cast of Kalki 2898 AD features Prabhas from Baahubali: The Beginning as Vishnu’s last incarnation, Kalki. Amitabh Bachchan (Black), Kamal Haasan (Hey Ram) as the antagonist, Pasupathy (Scarpetta Barambarai), Deepika Padukone (xXx: Return of Xander Cage), and Disha Patani (Malang) are also featured in the Indian epic. Furthermore, prominent actors Suriya (24), Dulquer Salmaan (Sita Ramam), and Mahesh Babu (Dookudu) are making cameo appearances.
The story’s details aren’t covered in great detail in Kalki 2898 AD news. However the trailer and some information revealed at the 2023 SDCC provide a lot of information. The story of the movie takes place in an oppressive dystopian future. In an epic struggle pitting good against evil, the Hindu god Vishnu assumes his final incarnation as Kalki (Prabhas) as an as-yet-unnamed darkness begins to threaten humanity (Haasan).
Horrifying visions of a gloomy and oppressive future full of resource depletion, military control, and death open the film trailer. With the words “When the world is taken over by darkness, a force rises,” flashing across the screen, the characters of Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan are introduced one after the other. It is at this point that Kalki (Prabhas) makes his hero-like entrance, and his unexpected arrival is not disappointing. The conflict for humanity in Kalki 2898 AD is depicted through a series of futuristic battle scenes and intense action scenes.
