Project K was what the film was initially titled.

He said, ‘I couldn’t believe till today that you're a part of it. Because I am still wondering how they got you in’"

The dystopian science fiction action Kalki 2898, directed by Nag Ashwin, features an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and others.

The Mahanati director gave an idea about the plot at the Synapse 2024 event in Gurgaon, revealing the film’s timeline would begin with Mahabharat. Starting with Mahabharat, the film ends in 2898 AD, spanning 6000 years.
