Actor Amitabh Bachchan is gearing up for an action-packed return to the dystopian sci-fi universe of Kalki 2898 AD. In line with a recent report by Mid-Day, the veteran actor will begin shooting for the highly anticipated sequel, Kalki 2, in May 2025. With an expanded role as Ashwatthama, Bachchan’s fans are in for a treat because the sequel guarantees a grander narrative, intense motion sequences, and a clash of titans featuring co-stars Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone.
Amitabh Bachchan to start shooting for sequel of Kalki 2898 AD in May: Report
After wrapping up the emotionally charged sixteenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), Bachchan is shifting his focus to this cinematic spectacle, directed by Nag Ashwin. Here’s every little thing we find out about his upcoming enterprise.
Expanded Screen Time and Motion as Ashwatthama
A source near the production revealed, “He begins shooting in May, and his screen time has been increased. Filming is predicted to proceed till June 15.” Bachchan, who portrayed the immortal Ashwatthama from the Indian epic Mahabharata in the primary film, will dive deeper into the character in Kalki 2. The insider added, “As Bachchan plays an immortal being, he may also be seen doing more motion with weapons.”
The sequel will pick up from the events of Kalki 2898 AD (2024), specializing in Ashwatthama’s journey alongside Bhairava/Karna (Prabhas) as they work to rescue Sumathi’s (Deepika Padukone) unborn child. The stakes are higher this time, with the duo facing off against the sinister Supreme Commander Yaskin, played by Kamal Haasan. “It’s going to be grander than the last one as Prabhas and Bachchan also confront the evil Yaskin. So, three titans will clash,” the source teased.
Latest Worlds and Tribes in Kalki 2
Kalki 2 is about to expand the universe introduced in the primary film with the addition of a fourth world, Flux Lands, and a brand new tribe called the Nomens. While a 30-day filming schedule was accomplished last 12 months, the team still has significant motion portions left to shoot. An enormous set has been constructed on the outskirts of Hyderabad, where the crew will film key sequences. Notably, the primary film was shot in Shankarpally, and this time, the production is scaling up for a fair more ambitious vision. Bachchan is predicted to start prepping for his role by the tip of March 2025, ensuring he’s able to bring Ashwatthama’s heroic yet complex persona to life once filming kicks off.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Packed Schedule
Post-Kalki 2, Bachchan shows no signs of slowing down. After wrapping up the sequel by mid-June, he’s slated to begin shooting for the following season of Kaun Banega Crorepati in July 2025, with the quiz show set to air in August. The 82-year-old legend continues to juggle his commitments seamlessly, balancing high-octane movies together with his beloved television presence.
As Amitabh Bachchan prepares to wield weapons and dive into motion once more, Kalki 2 is shaping as much as be certainly one of 2025’s most anticipated releases. Stay tuned for more updates on this epic sci-fi saga!
