With no offence to Pushpa: The Rule, Kalki: 2898 AD is the most talked-about film of the year so far. Helmed by Nag Ashwin Reddy, this sci-fi epic features Prabhas and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.
The project’s carrying great buzz among audiences, all credit to the animated series ‘Bujji & Bhairava’. To capitalise on this, the film’s bookings were opened two days ago in a location in America, and to their surprise, the pre-sales have already crossed $150K.
This is an insane amount considering the fact that the release is three weeks away and the theatrical trailer is not out yet. Considering this figure, trade expects Kalki: 2898 AD to take the biggest opening for any Indian film in the USA. The film also stars Kamal Hassan and Amitabh Bachchan in key supporting roles.
