Prabhas and Nag Ashwin have teamed up for the 2024 blockbuster, 'Kalki 2898 AD'—a grand sci-fi epic set almost 6,000 years after the Kurukshetra War, in a dystopian future. The narrative unfolds in the last known city, Kasi, dominated by the tyrannical rule of Supreme Yaskin, portrayed by Kamal Haasan. Yaskin governs the populace from a colossal floating megastructure known as the Complex.

The sequel will explore the character of Supreme Yaskin, the formidable antagonist who acquires even greater power. Prabhas’s character, Bhairava, along with Amitabh Bachchan’s immortal warrior, Ashwatthama, will persist in their quest to safeguard SUM-80, the woman destined to embody the Kalki avatar, the tenth and final avatar of Lord Vishnu. Reports indicate that Amitabh Bachchan’s screen time will be notably increased in this installment.

Remarkably, with merely three films to his name, Ashwin has already made a significant impact in the industry. His debut, “Yevade Subramanyam,” offered insight into his philosophical depth. This was followed by “Mahanati,” a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Savitri garu, which received critical acclaim, multiple awards, and box-office success. However, it’s with “Kalki 2898 AD” that Ashwin has truly gained global recognition, solidifying his status as a visionary director.
