Besides Prabhas and Deepika, the cast includes Amitabh Bachchan, Disha Patani, and Kamal Haasan.

Interestingly, Kalki 2898 AD has received rave reviews from audiences, particularly praising Amitabh Bachchan's portrayal of Ashwatthama. This film marks Amitabh's first collaboration with Prabhas and his third with Deepika after Piku and Aarakshan. The movie has been performing exceptionally well at the Hindi box office since its release.

Globally, the film has already surpassed Rs 500 crores and entered the Rs 300 crores club in India across all languages.

The storyline of Kalki 2898 AD intertwines events from the Mahabharata set in 3102 BC within a futuristic setting. Director Nag Ashwin clarified that the movie "does not involve any characters actively worshipped by large numbers of Hindus". He added, "We can take it as extremely religious or we can take it as the story of somebody who was born with a lot of power, didn't know what to do with it, and found his mentor in the process".

The film's impressive box office numbers reflect its popularity among audiences. It will be interesting to observe how Kalki 2898 AD continues to perform in the coming days.
