CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Nag Ashwin’s 3D spectacle Kalki 2898 AD will make its OTT debut on Prime Video on August 22, the streaming service announced on Saturday.
Featuring a star-studded cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas and Kamal Haasan, the action-adventure film will be available in Telugu as well as Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, with subtitles in English, on Prime Video, the company said in a press release.
Touted as a marriage of Hindu epic Mahabharata and science fiction, the big-budget film is produced by Vyjayanthi Movies and was released in theatres across the country on June 27.
Since its release, the film has emerged as one of the biggest films of 2024, earning over Rs 1,100 crore at the worldwide box office.
Prabhas, who plays the role of Bhairava in the movie, said the experience of working on the film has been “truly exhilarating”.
“The film not only pushes the boundaries of storytelling with its blend of mythology and futuristic elements but also delves deep into the complexities of human nature. Portraying Bhairava, a character-driven by strength and conviction, has been incredibly rewarding.
“After all the love that Kalki 2898 AD has received from audiences in theaters, I cannot wait for its global premiere on Prime Video,” the actor said.
Ashwin, best known for directing ‘Yevade Subramanyam’ and National Award-winning movie Mahanati, said his aim with Kalki 2898 AD was to create a cinematic experience that breaks new ground, transcends traditional boundaries, and shares India’s cultural mythology on a global scale.
