Nag Ashwin on Directing the Immortal Amitabh Bachchan in Kalki 2898: “Someone His Age Usually Isn’t…”

Bachchan Sir Shines Again: Nag Ashwin Spills the Beans on Working with the Legend!

Arre bhai, kya bakaiti ho rahi hai on the sets of Kalki 2898 AD! 😜 The film featuring our very own Prabhas, Big B, and Deepika Padukone has made a dhamakedar entry, raking in ₹653.21 crore at the Indian box office. Aur ab, director Nag Ashwin has dropped some juicy tidbits about working with the mahaan legend, Amitabh Bachchan. For those living under a rock, Big B plays Ashwatthama in this futuristic saga, and let me tell you, fans have gone gaga over his performance! 🕺

Nag Ashwin, in his latest gupshup, couldn’t stop raving about Bachchan Sir’s sabr aur shukriya on set. "Bachchan sir was, is, and will always be a legend. His patience with our young team, trying to pull off a film with so much CG and green screen, was commendable. He’d come, sit, and wait while we figured out our stuff. Kuch cheezein took longer than planned, but his experience, especially in action scenes, shines through. That’s why people enjoy his performance so much," Ashwin said. Kyun nahi, Big B jo hain! 😎

Now, for all you die-hard fans, Kalki 2898 AD is streaming on Prime Video! Set in the dystopian year 2898 AD, the film takes us to Kashi—yes, the same Kashi, but in a completely barren avatar. Kamal Haasan’s Supreme Yaskin rules with an iron fist, but fear not, because SUM80, the harbinger of Lord Kalki’s avatar, is here to shake things up!

Apart from our superstars Prabhas, Big B, and Deepika, the film also features Disha Patani and Saswata Chatterjee. The film is available in Telugu with dubs in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam with English subtitles. Aur haan, fans are already chomping at the bit for part two. Kya baat hai, yeh toh full on Bollywood style cliffhanger ho gaya! 🍿

Kiran’s Gyan:
Bhai log, Bollywood is like a plate of chaat—full of flavors, surprises, and sometimes, a bit of mirchi! 🌶️ Patience, legends like Big B, and a sprinkle of CG make for a blockbuster recipe. Toh, keep munching on those popcorns and enjoy the show!
