About the film
Meet the cast of 'Kalki'
This sci-fi epic, directed by the acclaimed Nag Ashwin, brings together a powerhouse cast.
Prabhas and Deepika Padukone will share the screen for the first time, while soon-to-be-mom reunites with Amitabh Bachchan after their 2015 film Piku.
The film also stars Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani in prominent roles.
Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur, and veteran dancer-actor Shobana are reported to make cameos in the movie.
Storyline
What is 'Kalki' all about?
Previously, 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).

When Prabhas claimed 'Kalki' is made for 'international audiences'
In a recent conversation with Deadline, Prabhas disclosed that Kalki is "made for international audiences."
He stated, "The whole film is made for international audiences. That's why it's the highest budget, and we've got the best actors in the country."
Meanwhile, discussing his title as a pan-Indian star, Prabhas said, "We were hearing for the first time people calling me 'pan-Indian.' That doesn't affect me, but it's a good feeling to think that people around the country like me now."
