Kalki 2898 AD
It’s finally here. Prabhas’ ambitious movie, Kalki 2898 AD, which has been much talked about since its announcement in 2020, hits the screens today. Given director Nag Ashwin’s dystopian sci-fi epic’s mammoth scale, people are already talking numbers and possible records. So, what do the advance bookings indicate? While trade analysts claim that Prabhas will add another Rs 100-crore opening worldwide to his list after Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), Saaho (2019), Adipurush (2023) and Salaar: Part 1—Ceasefire (2023), the buzz in the domestic market is mixed. One of the concerns is the Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone-starrer’s budget. Sources peg it at north of Rs 550 crore, making it among the most expensive Indian films. A trade source reveals, “Prabhas and Kamal Haasan have each charged Rs 100 crore, while Deepika took home Rs 32 crore.”
