Prabhas Makes a Grand Entry At Kalki 2898 AD Hyderabad Event, Introduces All To 'Bujji' | Watch

Being hailed as one of the greatest and most awaited films of the year, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has become the most talked-about production of 2024, with multiple grand announcements and reveals for audiences to look forward to. On Wednesday, the makers of the film held a grand event in Hyderabad, which was also attended by the film’s lead actor, Prabhas.

Prabhas made a grand entry at the Kalki 2898 AD event in Hyderabad. In a video that surfaced on social media, the Telugu star was seen entering the stage amid fireworks as the crowd cheered for him. He drove a sports car to make his way onto the stage. Prabhas then introduced everyone to the new character of Kalki 2898 AD – Bujji – a tiny robot.

It showed Bujji interacting and pestering the developers to be fast with his construction, including the film’s director, Nag Ashwin. They describe him as a “very smart, exciting and toughest” addition to the film. It is controlled by the brain, as per Nag Ashwin. Bujji is revealed to be a futuristic car. The voice-over for Bujji’s character is given by Keerthy Suresh.

Meanwhile, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ earlier also introduced megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s character as Ashwatthama through a monumental projection at Nemawar, Narmada Ghat in Madhya Pradesh. The selection of Nemawar and Narmada Ghat for this occasion holds great significance as it is believed that Ashwatthama still walks the grounds of Narmada, heightening curiosity for both the film and the actor’s portrayal.

Touted as the biggest Indian film of the year, Kalki 2829 AD is a multilingual film helmed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies. The magnum opus made waves after its groundbreaking debut at San Diego Comic-Con last year, earning massive global acclaim. Besides Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan, it will also star Deepika Padukone in the lead.

Meanwhile, besides Kalki 2829 AD, Prabhas also has Salaar 2 in his pipeline. The first part of the film hit theatres in December 2023 and earned over Rs 500 crore at the global box office. It was directed by Prashanth Neel and also starred Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu. Previously, the makers of Salaar confirmed the sequel of the film when it was also revealed that it will be the story of the impact of the political scenario in Khansaar due to two of the best friends – Prabhas and Prithviraj, who will be turning the biggest enemies.
