Nag Ashwin Says Kalki 2898 AD Will Be Like The Climax

The makers of Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD released the first episode of the prelude, where director Nag Ashwin shared some interesting details.

He said movies like Pathala Bhairavi and Aditya 369 fascinated him as a child.

Watching Hollywood movies like Star Wars made him feel that India also has great stories to tell. According to Nag Ashwin, Mahabharata is the greatest battle with the most characters, ending with Krishnavataram.

The transition from Dwapara Yuga to Kali Yuga is a concept worth exploring.

Nag Ashwin explained that anyone can relate to this story. Kalki 2898 AD is like the climax of all Indian epics. The demon Kali appears in every yuga in different forms, like Ravana and Dhuryodhana.

This movie explores what Kali would look like in the final yuga. The idea took five years to develop into a script. Nag Ashwin is curious to see how people will react to this fusion of mythology and sci-fi.
