On July 21, there was a grand San Diego Comic-Con event where the first glimpse of Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Kalki 2898 AD' was unveiled.
'Project K' has been renamed as 'Kalki 2898 AD'. On July 21, there was a grand San Diego Comic-Con event where the first glimpse of Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan starrer was unveiled. The SDCC event was attended in person by Kamal Haasan and Prabhas. Amitabh and Deepika couldn't grace the event. But Big B attended the event via a video call. For the unversed, 'Kalki 2898 AD' becomes the first-ever Indian film to debut at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Now, in his blog, Amitabh Bachchan revealed why he couldn't attend the grand event in person.
On Saturday, Senior Bachchan wrote in his blog, "Alright .. so .. San Diego and K, the project .. a great moment for the film and the makers and all those that went there for the release of the first look for it .. I was pushed hard by Nagi Sir to come along, but work and medical restrictions have kept me away from many such occasions .. so .. but I must admit the first look was pretty darn good .. wasn’t it .. style, music, frames .. everything."
While sharing his view on the film, he wrote, "And finally the reveal of K .. KALKI .. mythologically so important .. 2898 AD!! AD has been changed has it not? Yes .. AD, which I think was ‘anno domini’, meaning ‘in the year of the Lord’.. was changed to CE - common era .. and BC, became BCE - before common era! Why so .. have no idea .. it was related to the birth of Christ , before and after, hence .. but , each region in the World has its own year and month and named according to their calculated calendars."
Directed by Nag Ashwin, the mytho-sci-fi film is scheduled to hit the screens on January 12, 2024.
