Madhumasam Daily Serial – E172 – 27th March

The Indian film industry is abuzz with excitement surrounding the upcoming release of “Kalki 2898 AD,” an epic science fiction action film slated for release on June 27th, 2024. This highly anticipated project boasts a star-studded cast featuring veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan alongside contemporary stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani.

Prabhas takes on the lead role of Bhairava, while Amitabh Bachchan portrays the enigmatic Ashwatthama. Every promotional element released thus far, from posters to trailers, has garnered immense traction on social media, particularly those featuring Prabhas. Fresh off the success of “Salaar,” Prabhas is expected to shatter box office records with “Kalki 2898 AD.”

Adding further fuel to the fire, rumors suggest that another A-list actor has joined the cast. Reports indicate that superstar Mahesh Babu is onboard the project, with director Nag Ashwin personally approaching him. Given Prabhas’ portrayal of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu, speculation suggests that Mahesh Babu’s voice will be used to introduce the hero’s character. This collaboration is particularly interesting as Mahesh Babu’s debut film, “Rajakumarudu,” was produced by Ashwini Dutt, the producer of “Kalki 2898 AD.”

Mahesh Babu’s voice has a history of lending gravitas to film introductions, having been used in movies like “Jalsa” and “Baadshah.” Fans are now eagerly anticipating the prospect of hearing Mahesh Babu’s voice herald Prabhas’ grand entrance on screen. Interestingly, reports claim that Mahesh Babu’s voice will be used specifically for the Telugu version, with the makers approaching other prominent actors to perform the introduction in other languages. This multilingual strategy hints at the film’s ambitious pan-Indian scope.

With these developments, director Nag Ashwin appears to be meticulously crafting a cinematic spectacle of unprecedented scale. The prospect of a star-studded cast, coupled with a captivating storyline inspired by Hindu mythology and cutting-edge visual effects, has positioned “Kalki 2898 AD” as a must-watch event for audiences across India.
