Amitabh Bachchan in 'Kalki 2898 AD'
Amitabh Bachchan’s appearance in the captivating teaser for ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ garnered praise from his son and actor, Abhishek Bachchan.
During a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the makers unveiled a glimpse of Amitabh’s character from the upcoming sci-fi dystopian film.
The 21-second teaser opens with Big B’s striking presence amidst warm earthy tones. Seated in a cave, he is depicted in a solemn moment of prayer to a Shiva linga, adorned with bandages.
In the brief clip, one can also see a young kid asking Big B, “Kya tum bhagwan ho, kya tum marr nahi sakte? Tum Bhagwan ho? Kaun ho Tum? (Are you God, Will you not die? Are you God? Who are you?)”
To which his character replied, “Dwapar yug se Dash avatar ki pratiksha kar raha hoon main, Dronacharya ka putra Ashwatthama.” (Since the Dwapar Yug, I have waited for the Dasavatar.)
Being his father’s biggest cheerleader, Abhishek took to X and shared a first glimpse of the film and wrote, “THE BOSS!!!!”
THE BOSS!!!!
