The much awaited sci-fi movie “Kalki 2898 AD,” starring Prabhas, has revealed some exciting details about Deepika Padukone‘s character. Recent reports suggest that Deepika will play Padma, the wife of Kalki, portrayed by Prabhas. Padma’s character is believed to be a reincarnation of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and consort of Lord Vishnu.

In Hindu scriptures like the Kalki Purana, Padma is described as born from Kaumudi, the wife of King Brihadratha. This legendary connection gives dimension to the film’s plot. The protagonist, Kalki, represents Vishnu’s tenth and last avatar, appearing in the Kali Yuga to restore dharma.

Deepika’s portrayal of Padma as Kalki’s husband emphasizes the concepts of virtue versus evil, which are likely crucial to the film. Reports also hint that Deepika will lend her voice for Padma, enhancing the character’s authenticity on screen. Social media updates from the film crew reveal glimpses of the production process, including romantic scenes filmed in Sardinia featuring Prabhas and Disha Patani.

“Kalki 2898 AD” promises to be a cinematic spectacle, with a star-studded combination, interesting mythological connections, and Deepika Padukone’s confirmed role as Padma. The film, set to be released on May 9th, is expected to deliver fans to a different cinematic world.
