Kalki 2898 AD is making waves at the box office receiving positive feedback from the audience, critics, and the entertainment world. Now, Nitish Bharadwaj, who played the role of Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's iconic TV show Mahabharat (1998) has talked about Nag Ashwin's directional Kalki 2898 AD. Praising the film and its storyline, Nitish applauded Nag Ashwin's efforts and vision. 

Nitish Bharadwaj praises Kalki 2898 AD:

While talking to News 18, Nitish Bharadwaj lauded Nag Ashwin's "clever use" of Mahabharat characters and the futuristic birth of Mahavishnu’s last avatar in Kalki 2898 AD. He stated, "Hindi film producers must learn from the South as they are so deeply rooted in our scriptures and epics that even their inspirational versions seem correct."

The Mahabharat mentioned that Kalki seemed to have "definite visual inspiration from Mad Max movies." Nitish further explained how Kalki is different and how the story is more important to him and not the production design.

Praising Nag Ashwin, Nitish mentioned how the Kalki 2898 AD merged Mad Max movies and Mahabharat extremely well.

For those who don't know, Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan's role in Kalki is directly inspired by Mahabharat. Amitabh plays the role of the immortal Ashwatthama who is out to protect the unborn child that Deepika Padukone’s character Sumathi is carrying. Whereas Prabhas is seen playing the role of Karn from the mythology.
