While the film is currently running in theaters, recent reports suggest that Kalki 2898 AD might significantly delay its digital release.
When will Kalki 2898 AD release on OTT?
123telugu.com has confirmed that the makers of Kalki 2898 AD are not planning to release the film on OTT anytime soon. Following its impressive box office performance, they have decided to postpone the digital premiere date. While South Indian cinema typically releases films on digital platforms 45-60 days after their theatrical debut, Kalki 2898 AD is set for a digital release 100 days after its theatrical premiere. This indicates that the filmmakers are prioritizing the theatrical experience for an extended period.

Additionally, Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for the Hindi version, while Amazon Prime has secured rights for all other languages.
Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film is set against the backdrop of three dystopian societies—Kashi, Shambhala, and Complex. It spans over 6000 years, including the Kurukshetra war to a modern-day conflict in the Kali Yuga. Following the film’s VFX, the epic clash between Ashwatthama and Bhairava has been a major highlight.
The film stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan in the lead roles. Dulquer Salman, Vijay Devarakonda, and Mrunal Thakur also made their special cameo appearances in the film.
As Kalki 2898 AD continues to draw viewers to theaters, it will be interesting to see its final box office collection at the end of its theatrical run.
