New Delhi:
Get ready for the “greatest battle” of the year – Prabhas vs Amitabh Bachchan in Nag Aswhin’s Kalki 2898 – AD. The makers of the film dropped the much-awaited trailer on Monday and needless to say, it’s a visual extravaganza with AI cars and 3D effects dominating the screen. The teaser begins with a city of Kaashi in a dystopian world. It is called the last city of the world. Helpless people from far-off lands are trying to reach the city in search of water, food and shelter. The city is governed by a king (played by Saswata Chatterjee) who has an eye on a pregnant woman (played by Deepika Padukone). Amitabh Bachchan, who plays the character of Ashwatthama, says to Deepika Padukone that she is carrying a god in her womb. How will the king get hold of the pregnant woman who is carrying his nemesis in the womb? Prabhas AKA Bhairava is deployed who proudly says that he never loses a battle. Will Bhairava keep his words? Or will he face Ashwatthama as a challenge? The answer is – the battle begins.
Don’t miss Kamal Haasan in an almost unrecognisable avatar at the end of the trailer. Disha Patani also plays a pivotal role in the film. Take a look at the trailer here:
