The much-anticipated sequel to Prabhas' sci-fi blockbuster "Kalki 2898 AD" has sparked fresh excitement, but recent rumors about its shoot have been clarified by sources close to the project. While the original film, directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, received widespread acclaim for its innovative blend of science fiction and Mahabharata themes, fans eagerly await its continuation.
Reports surfaced suggesting that actors Kamal Haasan, Dulquer Salmaan, and JD Chakravarthy had joined the ongoing Hyderabad shoot. However, insiders have dismissed these claims, confirming that the shoot involving JD Chakravarthy and Dulquer Salmaan has not yet begun. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan recently completed their portions in Hyderabad, but Prabhas is expected to join the next schedule after wrapping up his current commitments.
The sequel will also see a new actress stepping in to replace Deepika Padukone, while Kamal Haasan is set to reprise his role. The film's technical team includes Santhosh Narayanan as the music composer, Djordje Stojiljkovic handling cinematography, and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao in charge of editing. These details underscore the high expectations surrounding the project.
With official announcements awaited, fans remain keenly focused on when Prabhas will commence shooting, signaling the sequel's next phase. The film promises to build on the grandeur of its predecessor as it moves toward completion.
