'Kalki 2898 AD' is in a dystopian future, offering a gripping narrative and stunning visuals that have resonated with viewers. The story is set 6000 years after the Mahabharata war of Kurukshetra, in a world oppressed by dark forces. Prabhas plays Bhairava, a relentless bounty hunter, while Deepika Padukone stars as Sumathi (SUM-80), a pregnant test subject. Amitabh Bachchan takes on the role of Ashwatthama, a character rooted in the Mahabharata, and Kamal Haasan portrays the menacing supreme leader, Yaskin.

Despite its grand saga, the film's story is far from complete. The filmmakers have confirmed that a second instalment is in the works. They revealed that around 60% of 'Kalki 2898 AD Part 2' has already been filmed, with major portions still to be shot. However, the release date for the sequel has not yet been decided.
