    What's the story

    The producers of the highly-anticipated sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD are preparing for a significant announcement on Sunday, reported Peeping Moon.

    Speculation is rife that the announcement could be about the movie's new release date.

    The film, directed by Nag Ashwin, features an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani.

    Originally scheduled for a May 9 premiere, the film's release has reportedly been shifted due to the Lok Sabha Elections.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    With a staggering alleged budget of ₹600cr, Kalki 2898 AD has secured its place as the most expensive Indian film ever produced—making it one of the most anticipated films of this year.

    Talents such as Santhosh Narayanan for music, Djordje Stojiljkovic for cinematography, and Nitin Zihani Choudhary for production design—known for their work in the acclaimed film Tumbbad (2018)—are involved in the project.

    With everything in place, the release date remains the only unresolved aspect.

    Announcement

    'Team is planning something grand this Sunday': Insider

    Originally slated for a January release, Kalki 2898 AD had its release date moved to May 9 and then May 30 due to the LS Elections, with Andhra Pradesh elections on May 12.

    There are now hints that the film's launch might be postponed until June.

    Insiders from Ashwin's production team told Peeping Moon: "The team is planning something grand this Sunday. Expected to be one big update regarding the film, this will be a major event for fans worldwide."

    Prelude

    Could it be an event for release of animated prelude?

    Meanwhile, in a unique promotional strategy, an animated prelude to Kalki 2898 AD is currently under development.

    This extended animation will reportedly introduce characters played by Bachchan, Haasan, Prabhas, and Padukone.

    Prabhas-Padukone's first collaboration, the film is bankrolled by C Aswani Dutt and Swapna Dutt under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner.

    To recall, the film garnered international attention when it debuted at San Diego Comic-Con last year.

    Release speculation

    In related news, Telugu actor Sharwanand's upcoming film Manamey, directed by Sriram Adittya T and starring Krithi Shetty in the lead role, is rumored to be taking advantage of the delay in Kalki 2898 AD's release.

    While there is no official confirmation yet, speculation suggests that Manamey might hit theaters on May 10.

    The film's first teaser was released on Friday, hinting at a unique narrative where the lives of two characters intersect due to a child.
