The epic science fiction film, Kalki 2898 AD – starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles was one of the most loved Indian films in 2024. While the film is currently in the news for controversial reasons, the film’s producers – Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt of Vyjayanthi Movies, have now spoken about the much-awaited sequel, including when the filming of Kalki 2 is scheduled to begin.

Kalki 2 to begin filming on…

At the Moscow International Film Week, Swapna and Priyanka got candid about the sequel, their excitement for it and the date the film is likely to go on floors. Priyanka said, “The filming will start in the next five or six months (January or February 2025). Once it starts, we’ll be able to talk more about it.”

To this, Swapna added, “This time around, there’s a lot more excitement than nervousness. I think there will be a lot more planning now. Whatever we did for part one, we were all just going by Nag Ashwin’s vision. It often happens that you don’t understand most of the things until you actually see the visuals. Now that we’ve seen everything that Nagi has done and understood the way the audience has received it, we’re going on to part two with an altogether different energy.”

About Kalki

Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone in pivotal roles. The film – inspired by Hindu scriptures, is set in a post-apocalyptic world and follows a select group who are on a mission to save lab subject SUM-80’s unborn child, Kalki. Having released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and English, the film grossed around Rs 1,100 crore globally becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024.

Giving the film 2.5 stars, a part of Bollywood Bubble’s review reads, “The blend of the Mahabharata with a dystopian future is beautifully done with applaud-worthy sets and lighting. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan shine brightly, making you wait to see them on the screen again.” However, another part of the review adds, “The movie’s long runtime paired with unappealing BGM (background music) and forced humour make the film seem lengthier than it actually is.”
