On Friday, the film crew released the second trailer, which, like the first one, features high-quality visuals filled with action scenes. However, some netizens have sparked an interesting discussion on social media, commenting that Vijay Deverakonda also appears in the trailer. Let’s look into those details.
Vijay Deverakonda in That Role!
It’s widely recognized that ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, features several prominent actors. There has been significant speculation that young star Vijay Deverakonda has a crucial role in the film. After the recent release of the second trailer, discussions on social media suggest that Vijay Deverakonda’s inclusion was intentionally hinted at in the footage. The trailer includes a brief Mahabharata battle scene, where Amitabh Bachchan, portraying Ashwatthama, engages in combat with Arjuna, whose face remains obscured. This has led to widespread speculation that Vijay might be playing Arjuna. Clarity on this matter is expected by June 27.
Another Actress Revealed in the Trailer
The second trailer of “Kalki” has taken everyone by surprise by featuring actress Malavika Nair. Known for her impactful roles in previous Vyjayanthi Network productions like ‘Yevade Subrahmanyam‘ and ‘Mahanati,’ it’s significant that she is part of this new project directed by Nag Ashwin under the same banner. Malavika also starred in ‘Anni Manchi Shakunamule,’ another Vyjayanthi film. Her appearance in the trailer has led fans to share screenshots of her look online, sparking widespread attention. However, details about her specific role in the film are yet to be clarified.
Is That Rajamouli’s Role?
Director S.S. Rajamouli plays an important role in the film “Kalki,” reportedly portraying Vishwamitra. His scene is expected to be brief, lasting only two to three minutes. Additionally, there is significant buzz about a cameo by director Ram Gopal Varma, whose role is anticipated to be quite surprising. Notably, this marks the first time RGV is acting in a film.
How is the Second Trailer?
The second trailer of “Kalki” is packed with action sequences. It features a memorable dialogue by Kamal Haasan: Enni yugaalainaa, enni avakaashaalu icchinaa manushulu maararu, maaraleru “(No matter how many eras pass, no matter how many chances are given, Humans do not change; they cannot change).” This line is a standout moment in the trailer. Additionally, the trailer includes intense fight scenes between Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan. Both Deepika Padukone and Sobhana make brief appearances. Prabhas’s dialogue towards the end is particularly striking. The background music by Santosh Narayanan enhances the scenes significantly. Overall, the trailer is exceptional, filled with dramatic action, and has become a sensation on YouTube, garnering 7.9 million views within the first 16 hours of its release.
