Project K Titled Kalki 2898 AD

Kalki 2898-AD is a sci-fi epic that integrates Indian mythology and Star Wars. The glimpse states- When the world is taken over by darkness, the force rise. The aura of a glimpse displays the fight between evil and good, however, it is hard to speculate the exact plot of the film. However, the clip shows the vulnerability of people, the tragedies combined with emotions, and the rise of power, who is going to save everyone. The setup is humongous and gives a rustic vibe, just like its poster releases, but will the storyline impress us; time will tell. Amitabh Bachchan comes as a surprising factor as you will get to see him in a role never seen before. The glimpse shows him in Mummy attire but more details on the character are awaited.
