Kalki 2898 AD is one of the most awaited films. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the trailer of the film was released earlier this month which suggested that it will be a futuristic take on the Mahabharat.

Amitabh Bachchan will be playing the role of Ashwatthama in Nag Ashwin’s film. During the pre-release event, Big B opened up about his first reaction when he was offered the role of Ashwatthama. “When Nag Ashwin came and explained his idea to me, for the long time after he left I was thinking, ‘what the hell is Nagi drinking?’” Amitabh said.

“To see something like this which is absolutely outrageous, some of the visuals that you have seen are unbelievable. To have somebody conceive a project which is so futuristic and possible… and during the making of the film you realise that no matter what he thought of he actually brought all the material, all the effects, every kind of vision that he had to the screen and that’s been really amazing. For me to be just a part of it, has been an experience I’ll never forget,” the veteran actor added.

Kalki 2898 AD will hit theatres on June 27, 2024.
