The recently released trailer hints at a sci-fi dystopian world in “Kalki 2898 AD.” Set in a futuristic era, the film weaves elements from Hindu epics like the Mahabharata into its narrative. Amitabh Bachchan portrays the immortal Ashwatthama, while Deepika Padukone plays a pregnant woman destined to give birth to the a chosen one. While Kamal Haasan appears in the trailer with extensive makeup for an aged character, his role remains shrouded in mystery. Rumors suggest he might be the main antagonist, with a potentially larger role in the expected sequel.
