In the upcoming film, “Kalki 2898 AD,” Deepika Padukone portrays Sumathi, who carries the prophesied avatar Kalki in Kali Yuga. Amitabh Bachchan’s character, Ashwattama, vows to protect the child, while Prabhas as Bhairava attempts to capture Sumathi for a reward that could grant him access to the Complex.
The trailer features intense confrontations between Prabhas and Amitabh, alongside glimpses of epic battles reminiscent of the Mahabharata. Kamal Haasan remarks on the unchanging nature of humanity despite repeated chances for redemption. The trailer concludes with poignant emotions underscored by a stirring soundtrack composed by Santosh Narayanan.
