Domestically, “Kalki” is Prabhas’ second-best opener after “Baahubali 2” and has surpassed Hrithik Roshan’s “Fighter” to become the biggest Hindi opener of 2024.

The cast includes Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, with cameos by Vijay Devarakonda, SS Rajamouli, Ram Gopal Varma, Dulquer Salmaan, Brahmanandam, Mrunal Thakur, and Anna Ben.
