Right from the time it was announced, Prabhas’ upcoming science-fiction flick with Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD has been a topic of discussion among cinephiles across the country. With just over a month remaining for the film’s release, it is safe to say that Kalki 2898 AD is one of the most anticipated films of 2024.

Quite recently, the makers of the film had organized a pre-release event for the film in Hyderabad, where Prabhas was seen as his character Bhairava. Further, the makers also unveiled another prominent figure, the Baahubali actor’s car from the film, named Bujji. The custom designed vehicle quickly grabbed the audience’s attention, as well.
