Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film ‘Kalki 2898 AD‘ starring pan-India star Prabhas has caught global attention. Set for a grand worldwide release on June 27, the promotions are ramping up as the release date approaches. On Monday (June 10), the film’s unit released the Kalki trailer, which impressed with its elevations and surprised everyone with its Hollywood-level quality. Along with its spectacular presentation, the trailer has sparked new questions.
Prabhas is not just Kalki!
Ever since ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ started filming, various speculative stories about its plot have circulated widely on social media. Some pages claim exclusivity in providing these storylines, crafting movie plots according to their liking. However, the most widely circulated and seemingly convincing story suggests that the film is set at the end of the Kali Yuga, where Kalki (Prabhas), an avatar of Vishnu, comes to save humanity. But after watching the latest trailer, everyone was shocked to learn that Prabhas might not be playing Kalki at all. This revelation has led to a flurry of questions online about what Prabhas’s role will be and who the Kalki mentioned in the title actually is. Netizens are puzzled, speculating about the twist that director Nag Ashwin might have planned, with many posting their theories and guesses.
Has Prabhas’s importance diminished?
Looking at the Kalki trailer, some comments suggest that Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan’s character seems to be highlighted more than Prabhas. Despite significant elevations for Prabhas in the trailer, Amitabh’s character seems to receive more emphasis. However, there’s a strong online argument that Prabhas’s role is intentionally being kept under wraps. “Check the records… I have never lost a fight,” says Prabhas in the trailer, a small example highlighting his role’s potential impact. There’s a strong belief that Prabhas’s action scenes will electrify theaters on June 27.
Trolls on Deepika’s dubbing
Upon reviewing the Kalki film, it appears that most actors have dubbed for their characters. Kamal Haasan, in a distinct getup, was recognized primarily through his dubbing. However, viewers are smirking at Deepika’s dubbing in the trailer. Comments suggest something is off with how Deepika’s voice sounds; some question why Nag Ashwin opted for such dubbing. Old videos where Deepika dubbed in Telugu for Akshay Kumar’s ‘Housefull’ are being shared for trolling.
Discussions abound online!
The ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ trailer has heightened expectations for the movie. Discussions about the rich visuals, movie concept, and action sequences are widespread, with many also noting similarities between the Star Wars and Dune movies. People are also curious about the connection between Amitabh and Prabhas’s characters, the story behind Bujji and Bhairava, the roles of Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani, and Kamal Haasan’s unique look and role. Social media is abuzz with all these topics, and the trailer has scored full marks overall.
