The event witnessed the presence of eminent actors Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Kamal Haasan, along with megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who joined the event via video call.
The panel discussion at the SDCC showcased the first sneak peek of “Kalki 2898 AD,” where the film’s futuristic setting was unveiled, featuring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone as fierce warriors in a war-like situation. The sci-fi fantasy thriller, helmed by talented director Nag Ashwin, is slated to release in January 2024.
The excitement surrounding the film escalated as the first look of Prabhas was earlier revealed. Titled the ‘Rebel Star’ of the movie, Prabhas stunned fans with his appearance donning metal armour, dreadlocks, and a rugged beard.
