Amitabh Bachchan is ready to step back into the world of Kalki 2898 AD. The legendary actor, who impressed fans as Ashwatthama, will start filming the sequel in May. His role has now expanded, giving him more screen time and intense action scenes.
Kalki 2 Makers Plan A Bigger And Grander Sequel
Kalki 2898 AD became a massive hit in 2024, leaving fans eager for updates on the sequel. According to Mid-Day, Kalki 2 will be even more grand. Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas will face Kamal Haasan’s Yaskin in a high-stakes battle. Reports suggest the story will also focus on their mission to protect Deepika Padukone’s character Sumanthi and her unborn child.
A close source shared exciting details and said, “He begins shooting in May, and his screen time has been increased. Filming is expected to continue till June 15, and following that, Amitabh is expected to kick off the next season of Kaun Banega Crorepati in July. The next edition of the quiz show airs in August.”
Shoot To Take Place In Hyderabad
The team filmed a few portions of Kalki 2 last year, but Amitabh Bachchan’s major action scenes are still pending. His character Ashwatthama is an immortal warrior from the Mahabharata, so fans can expect intense fight sequences.
The shoot will take place on the outskirts of Hyderabad, where the team has built a massive set. The first film’s major scenes were shot in Shankarpally.
“With Bachchan playing an immortal being, he will also be seen doing more action with weapons,” the source added.
Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas will lead Kalki 2, but the film also features Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, Anna Ben, and Shobana in key roles. Prabhas played Bhairava and Karna, while Big B’s performance as Ashwatthama was a major highlight. Director Nag Ashwin is back to lead the sequel, and expectations are higher this time.
