The positive reception of the first film has fueled the team with renewed energy and confidence as they move forward with the sequel.

Set in the post-apocalyptic city of Kasi in the year 2898 AD, the film follows a group of individuals on a mission to save Kalki, the unborn child of a lab subject. The movie has been a massive success, grossing over ₹1100 crore globally since its release in June 2024.
The film has been widely praised for its ambitious blend of mythology and futuristic elements, particularly the visual effects and the performances of its lead cast. It is now available for streaming on Prime Video India in several languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, with English subtitles. The Hindi version is streaming on Netflix India.
In the film, Prabhas plays Bhairava, a reincarnation of Karna from the Mahabharata. Amitabh Bachchan portrays Ashwatthama, an immortal figure from the same epic. Kamal Haasan takes on the role of Supreme Yaskin, while Deepika Padukone plays SUM-80, also known as Sumathi. The sequel is expected to build on the rich narrative and complex characters introduced in the first part, with even more elaborate planning and execution.
#Kalki2 will start in Jan or Feb 2025 and it will take 3 years to finish . This time there’s a lot of excitement than nervousness.
