The Nag Ashwin-directed Kalki starring Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone is one of the most awaited films of Indian Cinema.
The sci-fi film is a futuristic superhero saga set against the backdrop of Indian Mythology and Vyjayanthi Movies over the last year have created the right noise with their marketing campaign.
Kalki To Delay Due To Lok Sabha Polls
It is being said that the release of Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone-starrer Kalki 2898 AD might be deferred again. Initially slated to arrive in January this year, director Nag Ashwin’s futuristic thriller was rescheduled to May 9 due to multiple reasons.
One of the crucial factors was that the extensive VFX was taking longer than expected. Recent reports indicate that the much-anticipated film could arrive a week or two later to avoid clashing with Lok Sabha poll dates in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Before the two states vote on May 13, there will be extensive pre-election political campaigns and activities.
Considering that Telangana and Andhra are said to be the Salaar star’s biggest markets, the makers don’t want to take any chances. More so, the sci-fi movie, which also stars Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani, is said to cost over 600 crore to make. However, there is no official word from the producers yet.
New Release Date Of Kalki To Be Out Soon
