Is THIS Deepika Padukone’s role in Kalki 2898 AD?

While many have formulated theories about each character’s significance to the plot, the most commonly seen theory about Deepika’s role is that the actress will play the role of Bhairava Kalki’s mother. While the trailer raised curiosity about her role, there is still a lot of uncertainty regarding the actress’ character, which is just mere speculation.

Kalki 2898 AD’s storyline and plot

While nothing is definite from the film’s trailer and other promotional content released by the makers, one thing is clear: the film relies on prominent Indian mythological themes, especially the stories in the Mahabharat.

As the film’s title suggests, there is a significance to the name Kalki - believed to be Lord Vishnu’s tenth and final avatar. As we saw earlier, Amitabh Bachchan is, of course, portraying the role of Ashwatthama, the cursed sage.

Is Prabhas essaying the role of Kalki? Is Kamal Haasan playing Kali? What is Deepika Padukone’s role in the movie? These are questions that only the movie can answer when it releases on June 27 in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
