The release of Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin, is scheduled for May 9, 2024. Ahead of its theatrical release, recent speculations suggest that the movie might encounter a delay in hitting the silver screens. Initially marketed as Project K, the film boasts a star-studded cast, including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani. Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Deverakonda, and Rana are also expected to make special appearances.
C. Aswani Dutt, under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner, produced Kalki 2898 AD. Additionally, this film is hailed as one of the most expensive movies in Indian cinema. Recently, a new poster featuring Prabhas as Bhairava in Kalki 2898 AD was unveiled, adding to the anticipation.
The movie is set against a backdrop of ancient and futuristic dystopian society. According to the netizen, “Kalki 2898 AD embarks on a journey spanning millennia, from the epic events of the Mahabharata in 3101 BCE to the distant year of 2898 AD.”
Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD release date postponed
Due to its extensive post-production, Kalki 2898 AD has already faced multiple delays in its release. Following Vishwak Sen’s Gangs of Godavari postponement, fans wonder about Kalki’s release date. The election commission has released Lok Sabha’s election schedule, confirming Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will vote on May 13 as part of phase 4. Fans wondered if this schedule would postpone the film again.
Moreover, netizens took their social media accounts and shared their reactions. One netizen took his X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “#Kalki Makers meeting tonight for a new release date: #Kalki2898AD is scheduled for May 9, 2024 release. However, with the election date scheduled for May 13, the heat of the political campaigns will linger until May 11, which will not provide much mileage for any film.”
