'Kalki 2898 AD': A landmark in Indian cinema
Kalki 2898 AD, set in a distant dystopian future, is expected to be a landmark in Indian cinema.
Padukone's character, Padma, is anticipated to be one of the film's most compelling elements, with Haasan portraying the antagonist and Big B playing the immortal Ashwatthama.

It will be Padukone's second release of the year after Fighter.
Storyline
What is the plot?
Earlier, Ashwin shed light on the film's ambitious scope.
Speaking at the Synapse 2024 event, he revealed that Kalki will weave a story spanning a staggering 6,000 years.
The journey begins in the epic era of Mahabharata and culminates in the distant future of 2898 AD.
Interestingly, the film's starting point, 6,000 years before 2898 AD, coincides with the believed period of Vishnu's final avatar (around 3102 BC).
