Who Is Kalki in Kalki 2898 AD?

Excitement among movie lovers builds as only a few weeks are left for the unveiling of the world of Kalki 2898 AD. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the upcoming mythological sci-fi drama is one of the most-awaited movies of the year. The buzz around the film is significant and has further increased following the release of its trailer. While the trailer features the movie’s massive star cast, including Prabhas, fans are guessing the plot of the movie. Furthermore, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan are playing crucial roles in the film. Currently, the discussion is mostly about who Kalki is in the film. 

For the uninitiated, Kalki is the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu who will rejuvenate existence by ending the darkest period, also known as Kali Yug. 

Is Prabhas Kalki in Kalki 2898 AD?

Various fan theories say that Prabhas is playing the role of Kalki. An X (formerly Twitter) user claimed that Bhairava (played by Prabhas in the movie) is Kalki from the future. The user wrote, “Bhairava is nothing but Kalki that he is time travelled from future to present. So that he can save him and his mother from the villain kali (who is from the past that time travelled to present to end kalki’s world). So that kali can create chaos in the timeline.”

This is not the only fan theory that is going around. Another user wondered if Kalki’s character would be disclosed in the second installment of the movie. He tweeted, “Remained Questions: Why ASHWATTHAMA Is Protecting Padma Who Is Going To Marry Kalki ? Makers are Touting To Give Birth To Another Character For Part 2?”

Many are also confused about Deepika Padukone’s character. Fans are wondering if Deepika is playing Padma and why she is pregnant in the film. A fan also wrote, “He may be playing a supporting role for Kaliki, who will be shown as a child at end of the film.” One also guessed, “What if Prabhas is Vishnuyashas who sets tone for good to win over evil and his son Kalki will end Kali.”

It seems the question ‘Who is Kalki in Kalki 2898 AD?’ remains unanswered as of now. The movie is set to premiere on June 27, 2024.
