Deepika Padukone praises Nag Ashwin for using AI 'intelligently' in Kalki 2898 AD
Deepika Padukone, who is gearing up for the release of her much-anticipated film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, discussed the technology used in Nag Ashwin’s directorial film. She praised the filmmaker for using AI “intelligently”. With its stunning images and state-of-the-art computer graphics, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is expected to raise the bar for Indian cinema to meet global standards.
During a conversation with News18, Deepika shared, “For all of us to be a part of a movie where I think every kind of technology that is available in the world today is probably at our disposal.” Deepika highlighted the significance of keeping the performances' soul despite the heavy reliance on artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies. “With AI and things like that, I think you can lose the soul of the performances,” she added.

The actress also praised director Nag Ashwin for his skilful management of this harmony, stating, “The fact that we have a director who has used it so intelligently.”

Apart from Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Disha Patani are among the film's outstanding cast members. The movie's trailer, which was released earlier this month, implied that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is a future retelling of the Mahabharat. The story begins in Kaashi, a resource-rich region ruled by Saswata Chatterjee’s character, who expects total allegiance. A prophecy says a kid will dethrone him and Deepika Padukone's character is carrying this child. The king places a bounty on her head in order to safeguard his kingdom. Leading hunter Bhairava, played by Prabhas, feels it is his destiny to seize her. The goal of Amitabh Bachchan's character Ashwatthama is to keep her safe. Fans are thrilled when they see an intense glimpse of Kamal Haasan at the end of the trailer.


Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ will hit the big screens on June 27, 2024.
