The much-anticipated sci-fi film “Kalki 2898 AD” directed by Nag Ashwin seems to have hit a roadblock. With the recent elections in India, the movie’s VFX work has been significantly impacted.
This news comes from a humorous exchange between director Nag Ashwin and producer Swapnadutt on Instagram. Ashwin jokingly lamented that the VFX artists working on “Kalki” had all left Hyderabad to vote in their hometowns. Producer Swapnadutt playfully responded, prioritizing the election results over the VFX completion. This lighthearted exchange highlights the seriousness of the situation – the film’s visual effects are still pending despite an announced release date of June 27th.
The big-budget sci-fi film boasts an impressive cast, including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. The story promises an epic journey spanning over 6,000 years, from the Mahabharata era to the year 2898 AD. With such a grand vision, meticulous VFX work is crucial for the film’s success. The team is racing against time to complete the remaining work before the release date.
