Formerly referred to as Project K, Kalki 2898 AD stands as one of the highly awaited films of 2024. Hailed as the most expensive Indian film ever produced, the film is directed by Nag Ashwin and backed by Vyjatanthi Movies. Recently, actor Rana Daggubati visited the film’s sets and admitted feeling envious of Ashwin for bringing his dream project to life.
In an interview with Film Companion, Rana said, “The first time I got jealous seeing somebody was when I went to the sets of Kalki. Growing up, visual effects for me was Star Wars. That’s a film that I just loved watching. Funnilyy, Nagi (Nag Ashwin) also liked watching that film. And very few people get it. Like science fiction and all of it is not very mainstream.”
Rana is really excited about Kalki 2898 AD. He thinks it’s an amazing project that combines mythology and science fiction and when he visited the set, he was so impressed that he felt jealous. He even called the director later to admit his envy. “And when I walked into the set, I was like, ‘Sh*t, he’s making this. Like he’s making everything that I dreamt of.’ And I remember I didn’t talk to him that day. I went back home and I called him and said, ‘Dude, I’m really jealous. I don’t know why.’ And he said, ‘Dude, only when you’re jealous I know I’m doing the right things.’ And it’s a story from mythology into science fiction. I’m very excited about what that film will do. It’s got the biggest star cast. It’s got everything,” he shared.
The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Hassan in pivotal roles. Disha Patani also has an important role in it. The Nag Ashwin directorial will hit theatres on January 12, 2024.
