Nag Ashwin and Amitabh Bachchan
Director Nag Ashwin’s visionary film, `Kalki 2898 AD` created a rage at the box office, breaking several records and setting new benchmarks in the Indian film industry. The genre-bending film cemented its place in the hearts of critics and audiences alike with its ingenious blend of science fiction and Indian mythology, reigning supreme as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024 so far. After witnessing an unparalleled run on the silver screen, this cinematic spectacle just launched on Prime Video today in the original language—Telugu—with dubs in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, and with subtitles in English. Despite boasting powerhouse performances by a star-studded cast, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan stole the spotlight with his towering presence and exemplary portrayal of the immortal Ashwatthama. As Kalki 2898 AD makes its global streaming premiere on Prime Video amid much anticipation, Nag Ashwin sheds some light on his unforgettable experience working with Big B.
Nag Ashwin shares, "I think Bachchan sir was, is a legend and he was extremely gracious in how much patience he had with us as a team and as a very young team actually trying to pull off something that usually somebody from his generation might not be very comfortable, with so much CG, so much green screen, but he was extremely gracious and patient with the whole process, he would come, sit and wait while we figured out. Some stuff took longer than we planned and his experience, especially in the action parts, I think shows on screen, which is why people enjoy it so much.”
