Producers C Aswani Dutt, Swapna Dutt, and Priyanka Dutt were also seen in attendance. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan opened up about his experience of working in the magnum opus. He said, “It’s been a great honour to have worked on this project. To work in a setup where they have gone beyond what most of us have been doing all our lives in this film industry. And I really appreciate that they’re moving a little ahead of time and making us a part of it, working in conditions that we never thought we would be able to work in. I want to congratulate Nag Ashwin and the production for thinking of something like this film. It was a great honour for me to be a part of it.”
Deepika Padukone further stated, “It’s been a great learning experience. A completely new world and we went through different phases of discovering what this movie is all about. The magic that is in Nagi’s (Nag Ashwin’s) head is now here finally for everyone to see. We as actors have discovered that along the way. It’s been an incredible experience, at both a personal and professional level.”
“Talking about working with legends and sharing the screen with Amitabh Sir and Kamal Sir, Prabhas added, ‘I should thank Datgar and Nagi for giving me the opportunity to work with such great legends. It’s bigger than a dream. And I don’t know what to say. When I first met Amitabh Sir, I touched his feet. He said, ‘Don’t do it. If you do it, I’ll do it.’ Sir, please. I can’t even think. We grew up watching you.”
Furthermore, he said, “Kamal Sir, when his Sagar Sangam came out, I asked my mother, ‘I want his dress.’ My cousin, if he had indulged, had a tummy. And they used to put a cloth on his stomach. They used to act in front of us like him. And now I’m working with them. This is like something unbelievable”
‘Regarding Deepika, ‘I always wanted to work with her. She is someone who can reach such an international level, and she is a great actor. It was beautiful to work with her.'”
Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, Kalki 2898 AD is set to release theatrically on June 27, 2024.
