Nag Ashwin talks about Lord Krishna in Kalki 2898 AD

He said, “The idea was always to keep Krishna’s character, a Silhouette and without an identity because otherwise it just becomes a person or an actor. The idea was to keep him dark-skinned, silhouetted, and a mysterious figure.”

Further, Nag Ashwin also said that he does not plan on revealing Krishna’s face in Kalki 2 as well. “ No plans of revealing his face because it will go against the point,” he added.


For the unversed, Kalki 2898 AD shows lord Krishna from Mahabharata but does not reveal his face throughout the film. Ever since the film was released, fans have been speculating about Krishna’s character in Kalki and whether his face will be revealed in the sequel or not. 

For information, Tamil actor Krishnakumar portrayed Krishna's role in the film. The actor also took to his social media handle to post a clip from the Kalki 2898 AD and his silhouette can be seen in it.
