      Prabhas Vs Arshad Warsi: Bollywood Actor's Criticism of Prabhas Sparks Strong Reactions from Telugu Heroes!
      Prabhas Vs Arshad Warsi: Bollywood Actor's Criticism of Prabhas Sparks Strong Reactions from Telugu Heroes!
      Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's inappropriate comments comparing Prabhas’ look in the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' to that of a joker have sparked intense controversy. Prabhas' fans are expressing their outrage, accusing Bollywood of failing due to such ego and jealousy. Telugu heroes have also reacted strongly to Arshad Warsi's remarks, standing in support of Prabhas. Young heroes Sudheer Babu and Aadi have delivered sharp counters in response. Let’s take a look at the details. What Exactly Happened? Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently made some remarks during an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he vented his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad stated that he had watched 'Kalki' but did not like it. He compared Prabhas' role unfavorably to that of Amitabh Bachchan’s character Ashwatthama, claiming that Prabhas' presence on screen made him feel bad. "Prabhas... I feel sorry to say this. For some reason, his look resembled that of a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie, like Mel Gibson. I still don’t understand why they did this," Arshad said. Prabhas' fans have been vocal in their displeasure over these comments. https://twitter.com/i/status/1825097374680621099 Sudheer Babu’s Strong Counter! Telugu hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his unique style. While stating that criticism is not wrong, he condemned Warsi's loose talk on the social media platform X. Sudheer Babu expressed his surprise that such unprofessional comments would come from someone like Arshad Warsi and asserted that such small-minded comments could never touch a monumental figure like Prabhas. Sudheer Babu’s remarks have also gone viral online, with Prabhas' fans supporting his stance. https://twitter.com/isudheerbabu/status/1825746561495871657 "Perhaps It's Envy Towards Prabhas" Young hero Aadi Saikumar also responded to Arshad Warsi's comments in his own way, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. Aadi wrote on X, "Prabhas is an actor without insecurity. Without him, there wouldn't even be a Kalki movie. I actually found his role quite amazing. Maybe it's envy towards him." This tweet has been widely shared by Prabhas' fans, who argue that it's inappropriate to speak ill of someone as genuine as Prabhas. https://twitter.com/iamaadisaikumar/status/1825250706938380360 "It Seems Like the Pain of Fading Out" Telugu director Ajay Bhupathi's post on Arshad Warsi's remarks has also gained attention. He wrote on X, "Prabhas is an actor who gives his all for cinema. He tries to elevate Indian cinema to the next level. I can see the jealousy you have towards him and his films in your eyes. There’s a limit to everything, and there’s a proper way to express your opinions. It seems like you're hurt by fading out." It’s worth noting that 'Kalki 2898 AD' has grossed over ₹1200 crores worldwide. The film features key roles played by Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone. https://twitter.com/DirAjayBhupathi/status/1825448573128806545

      Nag Ashwin Sparks Debate: Arjuna vs. Karna in 'Kalki 2898 AD
      Nag Ashwin Sparks Debate: Arjuna vs. Karna in 'Kalki 2898 AD
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been released to high expectations and is currently making waves at the box office. Directed by the renowned Nag Ashwin and featuring pan-India star Prabhas, this movie is captivating audiences from all demographics. By blending futuristic elements with mythology, 'Kalki' has garnered widespread positive feedback. However, some online critics accuse Nag Ashwin of distorting the myths, specifically expressing dissatisfaction with the depiction of Karna, an ally of the Kauravas, as stronger than Arjuna. Nag Ashwin has uniquely responded to these criticisms. Netizens' Questions About Kalki! On social media platforms, there is criticism regarding the portrayal of Karna's character in the climax of 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Comments suggest that showing Karna returning is a distortion of the traditional myths. Some argue that while it makes sense for Ashwatthama, who is immortal, to return, and that he supports the divine during the era of Kalki's avatar as mentioned in the scriptures, there is no scriptural reference to Karna returning in the future. Netizens are challenging this depiction, arguing that the director has specifically made a mistake with Karna's character. They are also discontent with how Arjuna's character has been downplayed in favor of Karna, who sided with the Kauravas. This has led to questions about the film's portrayal: If Karna is depicted as great, does that imply Arjuna is not? 'That's Why I Highlighted Karna' Director Nag Ashwin recently addressed questions concerning the portrayal of Karna in the film 'Kalki.' When asked why he chose to highlight Karna so prominently, he explained, "Many people adore Karna in the Mahabharata. There are numerous people in this country who admire and respect his character, which is why I chose to highlight him." This explanation has resonated with some netizens, who remember that the scriptures also commend Karna as a valiant hero, affirming that Nag Ashwin's depiction of him is accurate. Karna vs Arjuna: Who is Greater? When journalists posed the question of who is greater, Arjuna or Karna, to Nag Ashwin, he gave an evasive response. "Let’s set aside who is greater between Arjuna and Karna. The fact that we are discussing the Mahabharata is good, isn’t it? It means everyone is learning about it," he commented. Some netizens strongly disagree with this approach, arguing that it sidesteps the question of dharma, which clearly favors Arjuna. They criticize this as potentially misleading to the audience and insist that misleading viewers is not justifiable. 'Kalki 2' Release Date? Following the great success of 'Kalki 2898 AD,' anticipation is building for the release of its sequel. Recently, producer Ashwani Dutt spoke about the plans for 'Kalki Part-2.' "The shooting for 'Kalki Part-2' might begin by the end of this year," he revealed, adding that they plan to release the movie in theaters by the summer of 2025. This news has Prabhas' fans celebrating. On social media, fans are eagerly commenting, "Give us an official update soon" and "Waiting for Part 2."

Dialogues by other major stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone are also receiving praise. What dialogues from 'Kalki' captivated the audience? In what contexts were they delivered? Let's delve into this special feature. Kalki Movie Dialogues The movie begins with a scene depicting the Kurukshetra episode. Ashwatthama commits a grave mistake by launching a weapon at an unborn child. The dialogues that follow, as Lord Krishna curses him, are captivating. Ashwatthama: Champadaniki vaste nannu champu Krishna. Nee upadeshalu vinadaniki nenu Arjunudni kaadu. అశ్వత్థామ : చంపడానికి వస్తే నన్ను చంపు కృష్ణ. నీ ఉపదేశాలు వినడానికి నేను అర్జునుడ్ని కాదు.  Krishna: Ee 18 rojulu Kurukshetramlo jarigina papaala kanna.. Nee adharmam nishkritamainadi. Dhronacharyudi putrudivi ayyundi intaku digajaraava? కృష్ణుడు : ఈ 18 రోజులు కురు క్షేత్రంలో జరిగిన పాపాల కన్నా.. నీ అధర్మం నిష్కృతమైనది. ధ్రోణాచార్యుడి పుత్రుడివి అయ్యుండి ఇంతకు దిగజారావా? Ashwatthama: Naa tandri peru palike arhata neeku ledu. Nuvvu anukunte atadi marananni aapagaligevadi. అశ్వత్థామ : నా తండ్రి పేరు పలికే అర్హత నీకు లేదు. నువ్వు అనుకుంటే అతడి మరణాన్ని ఆపగలిగేవాడివి. Krishna: Ashwatthama.. Devudaina krurudaina karmanu tappinchukoleru. Garbhasta sisuvupai astram vadilavu. Nee kharm nuvvu anubhavinkaka tappadu. కృష్ణుడు : అశ్వత్థామ.. దేవుడైనా క్రురుడైనా కర్మను తప్పించుకోలేరు. గర్భస్త శిశువుపై అస్త్రం వదిలావు. నీ ఖర్మ నువ్వు అనుభవించక తప్పదు.  Ashwatthama: Ayithe sandhinchu chakram.. Vidhinchu nee shikshani. అశ్వత్థామ : అయితే సంధించు చక్రం.. విధించు నీ శిక్షని. Krishna: Chavu nee shiksha kaadu Ashwatthama.. Adi vimukti. Kalantaram Pandavulu andaru chanipotaru. Naa shareeramoo maranistundi. Ee yugam antharistundi. Kaani, neeku maranam radu. Veladi sanvatsaralu nee gaayalu maanaka.. Chavu raaka.. Brathakaleka.. Enno papalu choosthu jeevistavu. Ide naa shapam. కృష్ణుడు : చావు నీ శిక్ష కాదు అశ్వత్థామ.. అది విముక్తి. కాలాంతరం పాండవులు అందరూ చనిపోతారు. నా శరీరమూ మరణిస్తుంది. ఈ యుగం అంతరిస్తుంది. కానీ, నీకు మరణం రాదు. వేలాది సంవత్సరాలు నీ గాయాలు మానక.. చావు రాక.. బ్రతకలేక.. ఎన్నో పాపాలు చూస్తూ జీవిస్తావు. ఇదే నా శాపం. Ashwatthama: Mari naa shapaniki prayschittam leda? అశ్వత్థామ : మరి నా శాపానికి ప్రాయిశ్చిత్తం లేదా? Krishna: Nuvvu nannu champalanukunnav.. Kani oka roju nuvve nannu kapadali. కృష్ణుడు : నువ్వు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్‌.. కానీ ఒక రోజు నువ్వే నన్ను కాపాడాలి.  Ashwatthama: Nena? అశ్వత్థామ : నేనా? Krishna: Kaliyugam vastundi. Kali vastunnadu. Adharmam perigipoyi prapanchamantha cheekati ayinappudu nenu malli oka avataram ettali. Aa yugamlo Kali maha shaktishali. Enta shaktivantudu ante na puttukane apagaladu. Appudu nuvve na garbha gudiki kapala kayali. కృష్ణుడు : కలియుగం వస్తుంది. కలి వస్తున్నాడు. అధర్మం పెరిగిపోయి ప్రపంచమంతా చీకటి అయినప్పుడు నేను మళ్లీ ఒక అవతారం ఎత్తాలి. ఆ యుగంలో కలి మహా శక్తిశాలి. ఎంత శక్తివంతుడు అంటే నా పుట్టుకనే ఆపగలడు. అప్పుడు నువ్వే నా గర్భ గుడికి కాపలా కాయాలి. Dialogue A complex announces a bounty of 5000 units on a young man. A gang sets out to capture him. In the midst of his escape, Bujji (an AI vehicle) shackles him. Then, the villain's gang opens fire on Bujji. Amidst this, Bujji introduces her boss, Bhairav (Prabhas), elevating his status. Bujji: Hey.. Stop. Nannu shoot chestava. Ippudu choodu naa boss vachhi mee andarini smash chestadu. బుజ్జి : హేయ్‌.. స్టాప్‌. నన్ను షూట్‌ చేస్తావా. ఇప్పుడు చూడు నా బాస్‌ వచ్చి మీ అందరిని స్మాష్‌ చేస్తాడు. Villan Gang: Evaru mee boss? విలన్‌ గ్యాంగ్‌: ఎవరు మీ బాస్‌? Bujji: Paatha yuddhallo soldier. Intha varaku okka yuddhamlo odipoledu. The one and only Bhairava  బుజ్జి : పాత యుద్ధాల్లో సోల్జర్‌. ఇంత వరకూ  ఒక్క యుద్ధంలో ఓడిపోలేదు. ది వన్‌ అండ్‌ ఓన్లీ భైరవ  (After this dialogue Prabhas enters) Bhairava: Entry anantharam Bhairava nelapai guraka petti nidra pothadu.. భైరవ: ఎంట్రీ అనంతరం భైరవ నేలపై గురక పెట్టి నిద్ర పోతాడు.. Bujji: Bhairava getup.. Chala buildup ichaanu le. బుజ్జి : భైరవ గెటప్‌.. చాలా బిల్డప్‌ ఇచ్చాను లే. Bhairava: Bujji.. Bujji.. Please 5 minutes padukuntanu.  భైరవ: బుజ్జి.. బుజ్జి.. ప్లీజ్‌ 5 మినిట్స్‌ పడుకుంటాను.  Dialogue Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) conducts experiments on pregnant women using his people in the complex. A scientist from Yaskin’s team tries to kill him in response. The dialogues Yaskin delivers while killing the scientist are captivating. Supreme Yaskin: Chaavuku nenu chaala pranalau icchanu. Adi nanneem cheyadu. Ninnu chooste jalestundi. Enduku nannu champalanukunnav? సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌: చావుకు నేను చాలా ప్రాణాలు ఇచ్చాను. అది నన్నేం చేయదు. నిన్ను చూస్తే జాలేస్తుంది. ఎందుకు నన్ను చంపాలనుకున్నావ్‌? Scientist: Manchi kosam.. సైంటిస్టు : మంచి కోసం..  Supreme Yaskin: Manchi.. Charitrlo enni pranalau teesindho telusa ee manchi. Rajulu rajyalu marutunna pratheesari marutundi manchi. Danni nammoddhu. Inthaki neekem kavali? సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌ : మంచి.. చరిత్రలో ఎన్ని ప్రాణాలు తీసిందో తెలుసా ఈ మంచి. రాజులు రాజ్యాలు మారుతున్న ప్రతీసారి మారుతుందీ మంచి. దాన్ని నమ్మోద్దు. ఇంతకీ నీకేం కావాలి? Scientist: Ee lokanni kapadali. సైంటిస్టు : ఈ లోకాన్ని కాపాడాలి Supreme Yaskin: Ade kada.. Nenu chesindi. Devudini, dabbulani, vandala yuddhalu chese andarini okka yuddhamtho gelichanu tappa?. Meera boodida chestunna prakrutini andanantha dhooramlu pettanu.. Tappa? సుప్రీమ్ యాస్కిన్‌ : అదే కదా.. నేనూ చేసింది. దేవుడిని, డబ్బులని, వందల యుద్ధాలు చేసే అందరినీ ఒక్క యుద్ధంతో గెలిచాను తప్పా?. మీరు బూడిద చేస్తున్న ప్రకృతిని అందనంత దూరంలో పెట్టాను.. తప్పా? Scientist: Neeku istam vachhinatlu cheyadaniki nuvvu evaru? సైంటిస్టు : నీకు ఇష్టం వచ్చినట్లు చేయడానికి నువ్వు ఎవరు? Supreme Yaskin: Mari nashanam cheyadaniki meeru evaru? Enni yugalau ayina.. Enni avakasalu ichchina manishi maradu.. Maraledu. Idi nee tappu kadule. Human beingsku unna defecte adi. సుప్రీమ్‌ యాస్కిన్‌ : మరి నాశనం చేయడానికి మీరు ఎవరు? ఎన్ని యుగాలు అయినా.. ఎన్ని అవకాశాలు ఇచ్చినా మనిషి మారడు.. మారలేడు. ఇది నీ తప్పు కాదులే. హ్యూమన్‌ బీయింగ్స్‌కు ఉన్న డిఫెక్టే అది.  Dialogue Supreme Yaskin rescues Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), who is pregnant with Kalki, from his own people and brings her to Shambala. The guard of Shambala, unaware of who Sumathi is, tries to stop them. The scene and dialogues that follow highlight this moment. Rakshanadhikari: Amenu ikkadaku enduku teesukochchavu. 5 million pounds pettaru eeme meeda. Complex matrame kadu worldlo prati okkaru ame kosam vethukunnaru. Ela kapadatavu? రక్షణాధికారి : ఆమెను ఇక్కడకు ఎందుకు తీసుకొచ్చావు. 5 మిలియన్ పౌండ్లు పెట్టారు ఈమె మీద. కాంప్లెక్స్‌ మాత్రమే కాదు వరల్డ్‌లో ప్రతీ ఒక్కరు ఆమె కోసం వెతుకున్నారు. ఎలా కాపాడతావు? Ashwatthama: Nenu kapadatanu. అశ్వత్థామ : నేను కాపాడతాను Rakshanadhikari: Asalu nuvvu evaru? Podugga unte saripodu. Eppudaina yuddham chesava? రక్షణాధికారి : అసలు నువ్వు ఎవరు? పొడుగ్గా ఉంటే సరిపోదు. ఎప్పుడైనా యుద్ధం చేశావా? Ashwatthama gurinchi telisina baludu: Excuse me.. Mahabharatamlo Sreekrishnudithone yuddham chesadu.. Oke. (Ikada highlight BGM vastundi) అశ్వత్థామ గురించి తెలిసిన బాలుడు: ఎక్స్‌క్యూజ్‌మీ.. మహాభారతంలో శ్రీకృష్ణుడితోనే యుద్ధం చేశాడు.. ఓకే. (ఇక్కడ హైలెట్‌ బీజీఎం వస్తుంది) Rakshanadhikari: Andariki picchi ekkinda? Eeme (Sumathi) ikkadi ravadam valla andariki entho dangero arthamavutunda? Tanu just.. lab nunchi escape ayina mamulu pregnant woman. Emi special woman kadu. Ayina puttedi devudu anadaniki enti sakshyam. రక్షణాధికారి : అందరికీ పిచ్చి ఎక్కిందా? ఈమె (సుమతి) ఇక్కడి రావడం వల్ల అందరికీ ఎంతో డేంజరో అర్థమవుతుందా? తను జస్ట్‌.. ల్యాబ్‌ నుంచి ఎస్కేప్‌ అయిన మామూలు ప్రెగ్నెంట్‌ ఉమెన్‌. ఏమీ స్పెషల్‌ ఉమెన్‌ కాదు. అయినా పుట్టేది దేవుడు అనడానికి ఏంటీ సాక్ష్యం. As soon as that dialogue is spoken, rain begins to fall immediately, a rare event in that region. The people of Shambala believe that the birth of Kalki will occur from her womb as her arrival brings rain. This scene gives the audience goosebumps. Dialogue Sumati (Deepika) questions Ashwatthama why Lord Vishnu chose her to be the mother of Kalki. The dialogues in this context are mesmerizing. Ashwatthama: Nuvvu pranam ivvadanike puttava amma? అశ్వత్థామ : నువ్వు ప్రాణం ఇవ్వడానికే పుట్టావ్‌ అమ్మా? Sumati: Asalu em matladutunnaru. Inka toli oopiri kuda teesukoni ee bidda kosam inka entha mandi chanipovali? సుమతి : అసలు ఏం మాట్లాడుతున్నారు. ఇంకా తొలి ఊపిరి కూడా తీసుకొని ఈ బిడ్డ కోసం ఇంకా ఎంత మంది చనిపోవాలి? Ashwatthama: Prati chaavuki oka paramartham untundi. Prati chaavu lokaniki kotta oopiri postundamma. అశ్వత్థామ : ప్రతీ చావుకి ఒక పరమార్థం ఉంటుంది. ప్రతీ చావు లోకానికి కొత్త ఊపిరి పోస్తుందమ్మా. Sumati: Kaani, nene enduku? సుమతి : కానీ, నేనే ఎందుకు? Ashwatthama: Moyagaligina shakti unnavarike badhyatanu istadu aa devudu. Bhagavantudni kadupulo moyalante bhoodevi antha orpu undali. Meelo aa orpu undane mimmalni talliga enchukunnaru. అశ్వత్థామ : మోయగలిగిన శక్తి ఉన్నవారికే బాధ్యతను ఇస్తాడు ఆ దేవుడు. భగవంతుడ్ని కడుపులో మోయాలంటే భూదేవి అంత ఓర్పు ఉండాలి. మీలో ఆ ఓర్పు ఉందనే మిమ్మల్ని తల్లిగా ఎంచుకున్నారు.  Ashwatthama: Nuvvu ippudu kanabooyedi mamulu pranam kaadamma.. srushtini. Janmanivvadam nee dharmam kaapadatam naa badhyata. అశ్వత్థామ: నువ్వు ఇప్పుడు కనబోయేది మాములు ప్రాణం కాదమ్మ.. సృష్టిని. జన్మనివ్వడం నీ ధర్మం కాపాడటం నా బాధ్యత. Dialogue Upon arriving in Shambala, Sumati is claimed by Chatterjee, the Complex representative, who instructs his men to seize her. He tells his commander that riders have been sent in all directions and they will soon capture her. Meanwhile, Prabhas, who has already battled Ashwatthama, declares they can do nothing more. The dialogue between him and Chatterjee captivates the audience. Bhairava: Aa musalodu unnanthavaraku em cheyaleru. భైరవ : ఆ ముసలోడు ఉన్నంతవరకూ ఏం చేయలేరు. Chatterjee: Musaloda? ఛటర్జీ : ముసలోడా? Bhairava: Mee vallandarini kottindi atade? Okkadu kuda vadni touch cheyaledu. Nenu tappa. భైరవ : మీ వాళ్లందరినీ కొట్టింది అతడే? ఒక్కడు కూడా వాడ్ని టచ్‌ చేయలేదు. నేను తప్పా. Chatterjee: Veedevadu asalu? ఛటర్జీ : వీడెవడు అసలు? Commander: Bhairava ani bounty enter sir. Mana vallani kodithe black list chesanu. కమాండర్‌: భైరవ అని బౌంటీ ఎంటర్‌ సర్‌. మన వాళ్లని కొడితే బ్లాక్‌ లిస్ట్‌ చేశాను.  Bhairava: Elagaina black list chesavu kada. Malli kodatha. Point enti ante nenu okkadine aa ammayini teesukuragalanu.

After gaining power, he declares, “Jagannatha rathachakralu vastunnayi vastunnayi.. Rathachakra pralayaghola bhoomargam pattistanu.. Bhukampam puttistanu.” ('జగన్నాథ రథచక్రాల్‌ వస్తున్నాయ్‌ వస్తున్నాయ్‌.. రథచక్ర ప్రళయఘోళ భూమార్గం పట్టిస్తాను.. భూకంపం పుట్టిస్తాను') revealing the extent of the destruction he is about to unleash in the second part of his dialogue. However, this dialogue originates from Sri Sri’s epic work "Maha Prasthanam." Kamal Haasan previously delivered this dialogue in the movie "Akali Rajyam" 44 years ago. Hearing Sri Sri’s poetry from his lips after so many years again surprised the audience.

In the last ten minutes, featuring an episode from the Mahabharata, he as Karna shakes the screen. Holding a bow and standing on a chariot, Prabhas declares, "Is it too late, son of the teacher?" sending the entire theater into a frenzy. The introduction of Bhairava as Karna, especially during this climactic scene at Kurukshetra, draws loud cheers. Arjunudu: Ashwatthama.. thalaratanu raase Brahma chesina Gandeevam idi.

      Unveiling the Mystique of 'Kalki 2898 AD', a Cinematic Marvel
      Unveiling the Mystique of 'Kalki 2898 AD', a Cinematic Marvel
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, has generated global buzz, with predictions of becoming a super hit. It has impressed audiences worldwide with its Hollywood-level visuals and the actors' remarkable transformations. Achieving this success required significant effort from the Kalki team. As the film continues to draw special attention, let's delve into some secrets behind 'Kalki 2898 AD'. 40 years later It is well known that Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan played major roles in 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Amitabh portrayed Ashwatthama and Kamal Haasan as the antagonist Supreme Yashkin. Remarkably, this film marks nearly 40 years since they last acted together, their previous collaboration being the 1985 film 'Geraftaar'. After 4 decades, they have reunited for 'Kalki'. Kamal’s New Getup Kamal Haasan's appearance in 'Kalki 2898 AD' is quite unique and distinct. Numerous looks were considered in the process of finalizing his appearance, none of which initially satisfied director Nag Ashwin. Eventually, the Kalki team consulted Hollywood makeup experts in Los Angeles, leading to the final look that Kamal Haasan sports in the film. 5 hours for Makeup Ashwatthama's look in the movie has also greatly impressed the audience. Amitabh Bachchan, at 81, has brilliantly embodied this character. The makeup for Ashwatthama took about three hours to apply and an additional two hours to remove, totaling five hours dedicated solely to makeup, according to the film unit. ₹4 crores for Bujji The futuristic vehicle 'Bujji', ridden by Prabhas in 'Kalki', was a significant endeavor by the film unit. It was developed with the cooperation of the Mahindra Research Valley team and Jayam Auto Engineering in Coimbatore. Reportedly, around ₹4 crores were spent just on this car. 700 VFX Shots Director Nag Ashwin created three futuristic worlds in 'Kalki': Kashi, Shambala, and a complex. Kashi is depicted as lifeless, Shambala as a refugee zone, and the complex as resource-rich. To showcase these, the film extensively used VFX, employing around 700 VFX shots. Hollywood VFX 'Kalki 2898 AD' is being talked about as a visual wonder, thanks to the involvement of Hollywood-level VFX companies. The VFX team that has worked on major Hollywood films like Harry Potter, Interstellar, Dune, and Blade Runner worked on 'Kalki'. Record-breaking Budget 'Kalki 2898 AD' stands as the film with the highest budget in Indian cinema history, with production costs reportedly exceeding ₹600 crores. According to trade sources, a significant portion of this budget was spent not just on actor salaries and sets, but predominantly on high-quality visuals and advanced VFX. https://telugu.yousay.tv/en/kalki-2898-ad-movie-review-an-epic-sci-fi-saga-starring-prabhas-and-an-ensemble-cast.html

      Did Pawan Kalyan Use AI for His Response to Karthi Amid Tirumala Laddu Controversy?
      Did Pawan Kalyan Use AI for His Response to Karthi Amid Tirumala Laddu Controversy?
      The controversy over the adulteration of Tirumala Laddu has caused a huge stir in Andhra Pradesh. As part of his atonement ritual, Pawan Kalyan conducted purification ceremonies at Vijayawada Kanaka Durga temple yesterday (September 24). He later spoke to the media and criticized actor Karthi and also targeted Prakash Raj harshly. In response, Karthi apologized to Pawan Kalyan through a tweet on X. Pawan Kalyan also responded on the platform, saying that he understood Karthi’s intentions. However, rumors are circulating online that Pawan did not write this post himself and that AI was used to generate his reply to Karthi. Pawan’s AI Post? It is known that Pawan Kalyan expressed his displeasure towards Karthi’s comments on the Tirumala Laddu controversy. Recently, Pawan posted on X, addressing Karthi, appreciating his quick response respecting the traditions. Pawan mentioned that he understood that Karthi did not intend to offend anyone. However, it is being rumored on the internet that these words were not penned by Pawan himself. Critics are claiming that Pawan used AI tools like ChatGPT to generate this tweet. Some are questioning why Pawan would act this way regarding an actor like Karthi, while others are asking if he doesn’t have the time to write his own posts. https://twitter.com/PawanKalyan/status/1838587619745087518 Is Using ‘AI’ Wrong? An AI detector analysis of Pawan’s post confirms that AI was indeed used. However, this is not considered wrong. Today, celebrities and politicians frequently use AI-generated content to refine their messages. They often write down their thoughts and then use AI tools to correct errors, ensuring their posts are free of spelling and grammatical mistakes. Given that their posts influence millions, they take precautions to avoid mistakes. It is possible that Pawan used an AI tool to ensure clarity in his response regarding Karthi. Furthermore, some celebrities don’t manage their own Twitter handles and hire someone for this purpose. Hence, film circles believe that there is no need to overanalyze Pawan’s AI-generated tweet. What Did Karthi Do Wrong? At the pre-release event of ‘Sathyam Sundaram’ on Monday, Karthi’s response to the Tirumala Laddu issue sparked controversy. When the anchor mentioned the Laddu, Karthi humorously said, “Let’s not talk about the Laddu now. It’s a sensitive topic… not for us.” Following Pawan’s criticism, Karthi responded on X, stating, “Dear Pawan Kalyan Sir, I have immense respect for you. I apologize if there was any unintended misunderstanding in my words. As a humble devotee of Lord Venkateswara, I always respect our traditions.” However, netizens are defending Karthi, saying he did not speak inappropriately and only responded because the anchor brought up the topic. https://twitter.com/Ashwatthama2898/status/1838434828871483470 Karthi and Suriya Thank Pawan! In his post about Karthi, Pawan Kalyan also mentioned the film ‘Sathyam Sundaram.’ He conveyed his best wishes to Suriya, Jyothika, and the film’s team on the occasion of its release, hoping for more such entertaining films from 2D Entertainment. Both Karthi and Suriya responded to Pawan’s tweet, thanking him. With positive reactions from both brothers, the controversy seems to have subsided. Netizens are appreciating how Suriya and Karthi handled the situation gracefully, understanding Pawan’s concerns.

      Bollywood Vs South Industries: Has a Cold War Started Between Bollywood and South Industries?
      Bollywood Vs South Industries: Has a Cold War Started Between Bollywood and South Industries?
      The current situation seems to be evolving into a Bollywood versus South India conflict. There are allegations that some Bollywood celebrities are struggling to accept the fact that South Indian films are creating a sensation on a pan-India level. In the past, national awards were mostly won by Hindi films, which also used to dominate in terms of box office collections. However, the situation has drastically changed over the past few years. Especially after "Baahubali," the influence of South Indian films at the Indian box office has significantly increased. Meanwhile, with the exception of one or two, Bollywood hasn't released films that made a significant impact. This has led to growing resentment and dissatisfaction among Bollywood actors toward South Indian films. In this context, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's use of derogatory language against actor Prabhas has sparked controversy. Recently, a South Indian star's harsh comments about Bollywood films have fueled speculations that a cold war has begun between Bollywood and South Indian industries. ‘Bollywood is Undermining Our Country’ Kannada star Rishab Shetty made controversial remarks about Bollywood. He claimed that Bollywood has portrayed our country in a negative light at international film festivals. He stated that he is trying to make films that the country can be proud of. In a recent interview, Rishab Shetty shared his opinion about Bollywood. "Some Indian films, especially Bollywood movies, portray our country negatively. Our films are invited to global events, and they roll out the red carpet for them. That's why I want to make sure I speak proudly about my country. I want to showcase the greatness of my country, my state, and my language to the world," said Rishab. These comments went viral, with some netizens supporting Rishab while others criticized him, sharing scenes from some of his past films. https://twitter.com/i/status/1826135635754631603 Arshad Warsi's Grudge Against Prabhas Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently spoke in an interview. While discussing the movie 'Kalki 2898 AD,' he expressed his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad said that he watched 'Kalki' and didn't like the movie. He compared Prabhas's character unfavorably to Big B Amitabh Bachchan's character Ashwatthama, saying that Prabhas's role fell short. He mentioned feeling sad while watching Prabhas on screen, expressing his disappointment. "Prabhas… I feel bad saying this, but he looks like a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie. He should be like Mel Gibson in it. I still don't understand why they made him look like that," he said. Prabhas's fans have expressed their displeasure over Arshad's comments. https://twitter.com/i/status/1825097374680621099 Telugu Heroes' Strong Counter Tollywood hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi's comments on Prabhas in his own style. He said that criticism is not wrong, but speaking without control is definitely wrong, criticizing Arshad on the X platform. Sudheer mentioned that he never expected such unprofessional comments to come from Arshad Warsi and made it clear that comments from people with such small minds cannot affect someone like Prabhas. Young actor Aadi Saikumar also condemned Arshad's comments, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. "Prabhas, who has no insecurity, is the real deal. Without him, there wouldn't be a 'Kalki' movie. I thought his role was amazing. Maybe Arshad is just jealous," he wrote on X. https://twitter.com/isudheerbabu/status/1825746561495871657 https://twitter.com/iamaadisaikumar/status/1825250706938380360 What Happened to Bollywood? : Allu Arjun In recent years, South Indian films have been released on a pan-India level and achieved great success compared to Bollywood. Bollywood director Nikhil Advani recently shared interesting comments made by Allu Arjun about Bollywood. "In the past, I wanted to make a film with Allu Arjun. I met him for that purpose. He expressed his disappointment with the state of Bollywood. 'What happened to Bollywood? Why have you forgotten how to showcase heroes?' he asked. What he said is true—South Indian films showcase heroism and the key emotions in a way that connects the audience to the story. At one point, Bollywood produced many such films that achieved great success. Today, that element is missing in Hindi movies," said Nikhil.

      Kalki 2: New Challenges for Prabhas with Star Heroine.. 'Kalki 2' Seems Unlikely Soon!
      Kalki 2: New Challenges for Prabhas with Star Heroine.. 'Kalki 2' Seems Unlikely Soon!
      The film 'Kalki 2898 AD', directed by Nag Ashwin and featuring Prabhas, made a massive impact at the Indian box office. With a stellar cast including Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone, the movie generated over ₹1100 crores, greatly exceeding expectations. This remarkable success has turned attention towards its sequel, with audiences eagerly anticipating the release of 'Kalki 2'. However, recent reports suggest that the shooting for 'Kalki 2' is unlikely to commence soon, reportedly due to complications involving the lead actress, Deepika Padukone. Shooting Breaks! Producer Ashwani Dutt previously mentioned that 'Kalki 2' was expected to release around June or July next year, with 60% of the shooting already complete. However, the remaining shooting is facing delays due to Deepika Padukone. Currently, Deepika is pregnant and is expected to give birth in September. She has decided to take at least a year off from films after giving birth. As part of this, she has even let go of a much-loved project with Rohit Shetty and declined a prominent Bollywood show. This suggests that she might also be unavailable for shooting 'Kalki 2'. Deepika is Crucial! Deepika Padukone's role is pivotal to 'Kalki 2'. The second part is expected to revolve around her character. Director Nag Ashwin plans to resume 'Kalki 2' on the sets right after Sankranti, and hero Prabhas is eagerly waiting for this. If Deepika is unable to attend the shooting, it poses a significant challenge for the Kalki team, potentially leading to rescheduling the dates Prabhas had set aside for 'Kalki 2'. This unexpected development is creating new complications for Prabhas, leading to speculation that 'Kalki 2' might now be pushed to a 2026 release. The Real Story in Part 2! 'Kalki 2898 AD' seems primarily to introduce the characters. Prabhas (as Bhairava), Deepika Padukone (as Sumathi), Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama), Kamal Haasan (as the villain Supreme Yashkin), and Vijay Deverakonda (as Arjuna) are central to the narrative of Kalki. The director, Nag Ashwin, set up the backgrounds and significance of each character in the first part, showing the hardships people face at the end of Kali Yuga and the villain Supreme Yashkin's tyranny. The conditions before the arrival of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu, were depicted in 'Part 1'. However, the hero Prabhas and the villain Supreme Yashkin did not come face to face in the first part. In 'Part 2', these two are expected to confront each other directly, making the second part more intriguing. Kamal Haasan's Significant Role Kamal Haasan’s role in the Kalki film lasts less than 15 minutes, offering the audience little opportunity to see his performance beyond two or three dialogues. Supreme Yashkin gains divine power by injecting himself with serum extracted from Sumathi (Deepika Padukone) while she is pregnant. His enhanced power is shown in the climax of 'Kalki'. This indicates that Kamal Haasan’s role will be fully realized in 'Kalki 2'. Speaking at a recent event, Kamal also confirmed that he would appear more extensively in 'Kalki 2'. Consequently, fans might get to see more of Kamal Haasan’s formidable acting as the plot progresses, with Prabhas (as Karna/Bhairava) and Amitabh Bachchan (as Ashwatthama) aiding the young Kalki in defeating Supreme Yashkin. Who will Play Kalki? According to mythology, Kalki, the avatar of Vishnu, ends the Kali Yuga. From the start of the shooting of Kalki, everyone assumed Prabhas would play Kalki. However, the director threw a curveball by portraying him as Karna. This makes it interesting to speculate who will appear as Kalki in the film. Since Kalki remains in Sumathi’s womb until the end of the first part, there is no chance for him to suddenly appear fully grown in 'Part 2'. Thus, there is a possibility that Kalki might be shown as a child. This child, aided by Prabhas (Karna/Bhairava) and Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), might be the one to vanquish Supreme Yashkin.

      Kalki 2 Prediction: Will 'Kalki 2' Gross ₹2000 Crores? The Real Story is in 'Part 2'!
      Kalki 2 Prediction: Will 'Kalki 2' Gross ₹2000 Crores? The Real Story is in 'Part 2'!
      Currently, the Indian film industry is abuzz with discussions about 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Two weeks post-release, the film's collections are still robust, exceeding all box office expectations. Director Nag Ashwin has creatively intertwined mythology with the future, earning acclaim for his innovative storytelling. Audiences feel they've been taken to another world while watching the film. Yet, there's growing speculation that what we've witnessed is merely a precursor. Rumors suggest the sequel will be on a scale never seen before, with expectations that if 'Kalki' had a target of ₹1000 crores, Part 2 will aim for ₹2000 crores. The Real Story is in 'Part 2'! 'Kalki 2898 AD' appears to serve primarily as an introduction to its characters. The narrative centers around Prabhas as Bhairava, Deepika Padukone as Sumati, Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama, Kamal Hassan as the villain Supreme Yashkin, and Vijay Deverakonda  as Arjuna. The first installment focuses on establishing each character's background and significance within the storyline. It portrays the trials faced by people at the end of Kali Yuga and the turmoil inflicted by the villain Supreme Yashkin. This part sets the stage for the anticipated arrival of Kalki, the tenth avatar of Vishnu. Interestingly, the hero Prabhas and the villain Supreme Yashkin do not encounter each other in this installment. In 'Part 2', they are expected to finally meet face-to-face, adding a layer of anticipation and intrigue to the sequel. Kamal Hassan's Full Presence In the Kalki 1st part, Kamal Hassan's role lasts less than 15 minutes, with very few dialogues, limiting the audience's opportunity to see his performance. By injecting a serum derived from Sumati (Deepika Padukone), Supreme Yashkin gains divine powers, becoming even more powerful, as shown at the climax of 'Kalki'. This suggests that Kamal Hassan’s character will be fully developed in 'Kalki 2'. At a recent event, Kamal himself confirmed he would have a more significant presence in the sequel. Consequently, there might be a chance for the fans to see a full-blown transformation of Prabhas from Bhairava to Karna, directly combating Supreme Yashkin along with Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan). How Will Bhairava Discover His Power? The director Nag Ashwin surprised everyone by turning Prabhas’s Bhairava into Karna at the climax. The film showed a weapon from the Mahabharata falling into Bhairava’s hands, transforming him into Karna. After Yashkin kills several people, Bhairava reverts to his original form. The first part ends with Bhairava abducting pregnant Sumati. How will Prabhas realize he is Karna in the second part? What does Bhairava do with Sumati whom he kidnapped for a bounty? How will he become close to his brother Ashwatthama? How will he confront the villain Yashkin who is blocking Kalki’s arrival? These questions will be answered in the second part. Full-Length Role for Vijay! Vijay Deverakonda , appearing as Arjuna in Kalki, stunned everyone. He impressed in the Kurukshetra episode from the Mahabharata. However, it turns out Vijay’s role isn’t just a cameo. Film circles are abuzz that he will have a full-length character in the second part. Will they bring Arjuna’s character forward into the future, or will they show more scenes related to Kurukshetra where Vijay will appear? This remains to be seen. Additionally, rumors suggest that Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan's role will also return in the second part. If this happens, 'Kalki 2' is easily expected to reach the ₹2000 crore mark based on the star power this will bring to the film. When is 'Kalki 2' Releasing? Following the super success of 'Kalki 2898 AD', all eyes are on the release of the second part. Recently, producer Ashwini Dutt spoke about 'Kalki Part-2', revealing that shooting might start towards the end of this year. They plan to release the film in theaters by the summer of 2025. This has led to celebrations among Prabhas’s fans who are eagerly commenting on social media, asking for an official update soon and expressing their anticipation for Part 2.

      Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga Starring Prabhas and an Ensemble Cast
      Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review: An Epic Sci-Fi Saga Starring Prabhas and an Ensemble Cast
      Cast: Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Deverakonda, Disha Patani, Rana Daggubati, Anna Ben, among others. Written and Directed by: Nag Ashwin Music by: Santhosh Narayanan Editing by: Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao Producers: Ashwini Dutt, Priyanka Dutt, Swapna Dutt Production Company: Vyjayanthi Movies Makers Release Date: June 27, 2024 The film 'Kalki 2898 AD,' directed by Nag Ashwin and starring Prabhas, generated worldwide excitement. This high-budget science fiction action movie, also featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, became known as India's most expensive production. With its Hollywood-level trailer and teaser, anticipation skyrocketed following the initial poster release. The movie premiered on June 27. Did 'Kalki 2898 AD' meet the high expectations and give another blockbuster to Prabhas's career? What's the story? The plot of 'Kalki 2898 AD' unfolds from a deceit by Dharmaraja in the Mahabharata. Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), cursed by Krishna during the battle of Kurukshetra, eagerly anticipates the arrival of Kalki. Upon discovering that Kalki will be born to a woman named Sumati (Deepika Padukone), he takes on the role of her protector. Meanwhile, Bhairava (Prabhas) in Kashi seeks to enter a sacred complex that requires one million units for entry. Realizing that capturing Sumati could earn him the necessary funds, Bhairava sets out on his quest. Will he confront Ashwatthama and succeed in capturing Sumati? Who is Supreme Yashkin (Kamal Haasan) play, and why is he interested in Sumati? How are the Kali Yuga's conclusion and the Kurukshetra's battle connected? Why are the residents of Kashi and Shambhala facing hardships? What roles do Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan play? One must watch the movie 'Kalki' to find the answers to these questions. How did they perform? Pan-India star Prabhas once again asserted his commanding presence in this film, particularly shining in the role of Bhairava. His dynamic action sequences left a lasting impression. While his role was limited in the first half, he delivered a fully engaging performance in the second half. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, portraying Ashwatthama, gave an unparalleled performance, with his efforts evident on screen. Kamal Haasan, playing the villain, offered a performance that surpassed expectations. Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani captivated audiences with their roles. The cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, Rajamouli, Rana, and RGV were delightful. All other actors fulfilled their roles with great conviction. How's the direction? Director Nag Ashwin is poised to make a global impact with 'Kalki'. The film's greatest strength lies in the story, which was crafted by Nag Ashwin himself. His direction, vision, and presentation all earn high praise. Although the first 40 minutes may appear slow, Ashwin ensures that the pace never falters. After this initial segment, the narrative picks up speed and maintains its intensity all the way to the climax. The scene just before the interval, in particular, is sure to give the audience goosebumps. The futuristic vehicles, weaponry, and sets are visually spectacular. Nonetheless, the screenplay has minor flaws, and some scenes seem overly prolonged. The absence of elements that typically thrill the broader audience represents a slight drawback. Improved dubbing for Deepika could have further enhanced the viewing experience. Overall, Nag Ashwin has achieved significant success as a director. Technically On the technical front, all departments exhibited exceptional skill. The graphics department especially deserves high praise. The cinematographer’s work is outstanding. Santhosh Narayanan’s music is a significant plus for the film, particularly elevating the action sequences. The editor could have sharpened his cuts a bit more. The production values are very high, with no compromises on the budget. Every scene is richly produced.
