Kalki 2898 AD to release on May 9, 2024
As per recent reports, the makers of the movie have delayed its release. Kalki 2898 AD will now hit the big screens worldwide on May 9, 2024. At a special event, characters from the movie Raiders announced the new release date by holding out posters.
Actor Prabhas took to his social media to announce the news with a poster of his character. He captioned the post with, “The countdown to the future has begun! #Kalki2898AD in theatres worldwide on 9th May 2024. #Kalki2898ADonMay9”
The decision to postpone its release comes after the makers wanted a solo, undisputed run at the box office. Since Prabhas had the blockbuster Salaar‘s release last month, the Kalki 2898 AD team considered changing the January release to allow his previous movie to complete its box-office run. This will also work in Deepika Padukone’s favor as she has her movie, Fighter, scheduled for a release on January 25, 2024.
Vyjayanthi Movies announced the movie under the working title, Project K, on February 2020, on their 50th anniversary. However, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its production by a year. Filming for the movie began in July 2021 in a futuristic set at the Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. The movie was shot in both Telugu and Hindi languages.
Kalki 2898 AD is reportedly the most expensive Indian movie ever made, with a budget of $75 million. Santhosh Narayanan composed the movie’s music score, Djordje Stojiljkovic handled cinematography, and Nitin Zihani Choudhary oversaw the production design.
Stay tuned for more updates on Kalki 2898 AD, and watch the movie in theatres on May 9, 2024.
