Kalki 2898 AD release date and how to watch – can you stream it?
The film stars plenty of A-listers.
There’s been a load of hype around the Nag Ashwin-helmed sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD thanks to its huge budget, intriguing storyline and A-list cast.
The dystopian film, which is set in the year 2898 AD, chronicles the events that lead to the rise of the superhero Kalki, and features some of India’s brightest stars including Prabhas (Baahubali: The Beginning), Deepika Padukone (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani), Disha Patani (MS Dhoni: The Untold Story), Amitabh Bachchan (Black), Dulquer Salmaan (Charlie), and Kamal Haasan (Vishwaroopam).
In Hindu mythology, Kalki is the 10th and last incarnation of the god Vishnu, who appears in order to bring an end to the Kali Yuga, an era of darkness.
A teaser trailer was unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con last year alongside the title of the movie, giving fans a first look at our main hero and bounty hunter Bhairava (Prabhas) navigating a cyberpunk version of the real-life holy Indian city of Varanasi alongside an AI-powered car named Buji.
