So, what’s the fuss all about? Well, Kalki 2898 AD hit the theaters on June 27, 2024, starring none other than Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone. The film is a unique blend of science fiction and Hindu mythology, where elements from the Mahabharata make a grand appearance. Big B is seen playing Ashwatthama, making a splash both in the past and future timelines.

Now, while the critics and janta are showering love on Amitabh Bachchan’s stellar performance, there’s one man who isn’t too pleased. Enter Mukesh Khanna, our very own Shaktimaan and the iconic Bhishma from BR Chopra’s Mahabharat. Bhai sahab has some serious issues with the portrayal of Ashwatthama in the film. 🌪️

Mukesh Khanna Ka Gussa:

Mukesh Khanna ne apne YouTube channel pe ek video share kiya, where he praised the movie’s production values but had some serious reservations.

Khanna sahab said, "In the beginning, when Krishna curses Ashwatthama by removing his ‘mani’, this never happened. I want to ask the makers, how could you presume to know more than Vyas muni, who said that what doesn’t exist here cannot exist elsewhere? It wasn’t Krishna who removed Ashwatthama’s ‘mani’. I’ve been reading the Mahabharata since childhood; I can tell you that it was Draupadi who instructed that his ‘mani’ should be removed, after he killed all five of her children.”

Arre bhai, Mukesh ji kehta hain ki history ko theek theek dikhana chahiye, warna humari mythology ka kya hoga? 😱

Further, he ranted about how Amitabh Bachchan’s character Ashwatthama is shown. "There was a big battle between Arjun and Ashwatthama. They were wielding the ‘Brahmastra’, but only Arjun knew how to reverse the attack. Because Ashwatthama couldn’t, he decided to fire the Brahmastra towards Abhimanyu’s wife. Krishna protected her for nine months because she was pregnant. The reason I’m telling this story in such detail is because I don’t understand how Krishna could command Ashwatthama to protect him in the future in Kalki? How can someone as powerful as Krishna ask someone like Ashwatthama to protect him?”

Bhai, Mukesh ji ka point valid hai, but in the end, it’s Bollywood! Thoda creative liberty toh banta hai na? 🎬

Meanwhile, the Kalki 2898 AD team is already gearing up for a sequel. Amitabh Bachchan will be back as Ashwatthama. Stay tuned for more drama, because yeh Bollywood hai boss, yahan kuch bhi ho sakta hai! 🎥✨
