      The 7 Immortals of Kalki, Are those key to the story?
      The 7 Immortals of Kalki, Are those key to the story?
      Chiranjeevis are legendary figures known for their immortality, as detailed in the Puranas. According to Hindu mythology, they are believed to still inhabit the Himalayas. The reason this topic is relevant now is due to the significant buzz surrounding their portrayal in the upcoming Pan-India film 'Kalki 2898 AD.' This excitement is amplified by reports that Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan will play Ashwathama, lending further authenticity to the buzz. So, who are these Chiranjeevis, and who would be the ideal candidates to portray them in the Kalki movies? Let's delve into these details. Who are the Seven Immortals? According to the Puranas, the seven immortals, Ashwathama, King Bali, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Kripacharya, Parasurama, and Vyasa, are known as the Saptarishi. They are believed to still exist on Earth, invisible to humans. Ashwathama was cursed with immortality by Lord Krishna, while King Bali was granted immortality by the grace of Vamana. Similarly, Vyasa and Hanuman were blessed for their devotion to Lord Rama, and Vibhishana was granted immortality due to his allegiance to Rama. Kripacharya had a unique birth and Parasurama had immense penance power, both granted immortality. All these figures are recognized as the seven immortals in our scriptures. The Seven Immortals in the Kalki Film? There's news that these immortals will feature in the upcoming Prabhas film 'Kalki 2898 AD.' Official announcements have already confirmed that Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan will play Ashwathama. It is also rumored that Prabhas will appear as the avatar of Lord Vishnu, Parasurama. However, there is keen interest in who will be cast for the other roles. With a veteran actor like Amitabh portraying Ashwathama, there's speculation that casting other legendary actors for the remaining roles would be fitting. For Hanuman, superstar Chiranjeevi, for Vibhishana, Rajinikanth, for King Bali, Mohanlal, for Vyasa, Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar, and for Kripacharya, Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor are seen as fitting choices. Meanwhile, names like Nani, Vijay Deverakonda, and Jr NTR are also being considered for roles in Kalki. It remains to be seen how this will unfold. Substantial Remuneration for Kamal There are reports that veteran actor Kamal Haasan will appear as 'Kali' in the Kalki film. Initially, there were rumors that Kamal would play the antagonist to Prabhas. According to the latest buzz, Kamal has received a substantial remuneration for this role, reportedly around 50 crores from the film unit. In comparison, Amitabh Bachchan, who plays Ashwathama, was reportedly paid 10 crores, reflecting the lesser screen time his character has compared to Kamal's, as per discussions in Bollywood circles. Meanwhile, Bollywood beauties Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani are cast opposite Prabhas in the film.

SRK, in the film's promotional events, expressed his admiration for Anirudh, not just as an artist but as an individual. Villainous Ventures: Vijay Sethupathi, exuding charisma, embraced the antagonist's role in 'Jawan'. This marks his sophomore Bollywood endeavor, with his debut, 'Mumbaikar', having an OTT release. Vijay humorously shared that his school crush adored Shahrukh, and now, by sharing screen space with him, he feels like he's had his sweet revenge. Stellar Stunts: 'Jawan' is rife with adrenaline-pumping sequences, from intricate hand-to-hand combat to exhilarating car pursuits. These action highlights were choreographed by an ensemble of global stunt coordinators, namely Spiro Razatos, Craig McRae, Yannick Benn, Kicha Kafadgi, Sunil Rodrigues, and Anal Arasu.

      Kalki 2898 AD: Mahesh Enters Kalki 2898AD for Prabhas.. How?
      Following his role in "Salaar," Prabhas, a renowned Pan-India star, takes the lead in "Kalki 2898 AD." Directed by Nag Ashwin, who gained fame with "Mahanati," this film has sparked widespread interest. Poised for a global release, it has even piqued expectations in Hollywood. Drawing inspiration from Indian mythology, this dystopian science fiction film boasts a large cast, a substantial budget, and stunning graphics. Recent rumors suggest that superstar Mahesh Babu may also be involved in the project. Mahesh Babu Dubbing? There are rumors that Mahesh Babu's voice will be featured to introduce Prabhas's character, believed to be an avatar of Vishnu Murthy named 'Bhairava.' The film's creators think that using Mahesh's voice for Prabhas's introductory and critical scenes will enhance the anticipation for the film.

With characters from the Mahabharata interwoven throughout, the film is set to feature a profound historical influence.

This reveal has sparked renewed interest in the character, known from the Mahabharata as Drona's son. Cursed by Krishna in the Dwapara Yuga, Ashwatthama is doomed to live with festering wounds, bleeding and producing pus until the end of time.

The background score provided by Santosh Narayanan for this glimpse is highly appreciated. https://twitter.com/i/status/1782338404421927223 Is Nag following Rajamouli? Similar to how director Rajamouli showcased key characters in 'Baahubali' through special previews at its release, 'Kalki' director Nag Ashwin appears to be adopting a comparable strategy. Rajamouli introduced figures such as Prabhas (Baahubali), Rana (Bhallaladeva), and Anushka (Devasena) using distinctive promotional clips. In the same vein, Nag Ashwin has introduced Amitabh Bachchan's character. A teaser featuring Prabhas as 'Bhairava' is anticipated soon, and there are hints that characters portrayed by Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan will be revealed shortly.

Disappointment among Prabhas's fans! The release date for 'Kalki 2898 AD' has been a topic of continuous speculation. Initially set for May 9, the film's debut has been postponed due to delays in production. While new release dates are under consideration, fans of Prabhas were hopeful that the release date would be announced in the 'Ashwatthama video glimpse' following the reveal of Amitabh’s character. However, with no definitive date confirmed, there is a sense of disappointment among the fans.
