The world of Kalki 2898 AD, created by creative director Nag Ashwin, is set to expand on a much larger scale with the highly anticipated sequel gearing up to begin its regular shoot. The sequel to Prabhas’ blockbuster sci-fi mythological spectacle is currently in the final stages of pre-production, with the team preparing for an ambitious shooting schedule.
Produced by Ashwini Dutt under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner, the sequel will once again feature Prabhas in the lead. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan are also expected to reprise their prominent roles, adding further anticipation to the project.
Prabhas to Begin Shooting Next Month
According to the latest update, Prabhas and the other lead actors are expected to begin shooting their portions from next month. The makers are planning an extensive production schedule as Nag Ashwin looks to bring the next chapter of the story to the big screen on a significantly larger scale.
The filmmaker has reportedly spent considerable time developing the world, narrative and visual scope of the sequel. With much of the groundwork now in place, the team is preparing to move into the regular shooting phase.
Nag Ashwin Targets Mid-2027 Completion
Following the phenomenal success of the first instalment, expectations surrounding the sequel have reached new heights. Kalki 2898 AD not only emerged as a major blockbuster but also received widespread critical acclaim and went on to secure two National Awards.
The success of the first film has also raised the scale and expectations for its follow-up. Nag Ashwin has been working extensively behind the scenes to expand the futuristic world and take the story forward in a more ambitious manner.
The current plan is reportedly to complete the entire production by mid-2027. If the schedule proceeds as planned, the team will then move into the extensive post-production phase required for the film’s large-scale visual effects and technical work.
A Bigger Chapter Awaits
With Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan returning to the Kalki 2898 AD universe, the sequel is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched Indian film projects.
After establishing a futuristic world that blends science fiction, mythology and Indian cultural elements, Nag Ashwin is now preparing to expand that universe with a much bigger chapter. The upcoming shooting schedule is expected to provide the first major glimpse of how the filmmaker plans to scale up the ambitious sequel.
