He shared, “When Nagi [Nag Ashwin] came to me to talk about the project, he just brought a picture of what my character is going to look like and what Prabhas is going to look like. And I was this huge guy who was shoving off ‘The Prabhas.’”
He added, “All the fans of Prabhas, please excuse me. Mai haath jod ke maafi maang raha hoon. Don’t massacre me after you see what I do in the film.”
Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD is a sci-fi film with characters and arcs inspired by Hindu mythology. The film which also features Disha Patani and Saswata Chatterjee will release on June 27, 2024.
