Nag Ashwin Promises More Screen Time for Prabhas in Kalki 2
Prabhas Takes Center Stage in Kalki 2898 AD Sequel
After the blockbuster success of Kalki 2898 AD, fans are eagerly waiting for Part 2, which promises to be even grander in scale and storytelling. One of the biggest concerns from fans was the limited screen time of Prabhas in the first part. Addressing this, director Nag Ashwin has now assured that the sequel will revolve entirely around Prabhas’ character, Bhairava.
The first part of the mythological sci-fi epic focused on world-building, introducing the audience to a futuristic yet mythologically rooted universe. Now, the second part will shift gears to explore Bhairava’s destiny and his connection with Karna, ensuring more action, deeper storytelling, and high emotional stakes.
Nag Ashwin Response to Screen Time Concerns
The first installment of Kalki 2898 AD introduced a wide range of characters, including Amitabh Bachchan’s Ashwatthama, Deepika Padukone’s Sumati, and Kamal Haasan’s mysterious antagonist. However, Prabhas’ Bhairava had a comparatively smaller presence than expected, leaving fans eager for more.
In a recent interaction, Nag Ashwin clarified:
“We will showcase Prabhas at length in the second part. He will have a major screen presence. The first part was all about world-building and introducing characters, but now, the focus will be on Karna and Bhairava’s journey.”
This announcement has fueled excitement among Prabhas’ fans, who are now expecting a powerful character arc for Bhairava.
Sequel’s Shooting and Expected Release Timeline
Currently, Nag Ashwin is in the pre-production phase for Kalki 2898 AD Part 2. According to reports, the shooting is expected to begin in two months, with the makers aiming for a 2026 release.
With its ambitious storytelling, Kalki 2898 AD left many unanswered questions, setting the stage for an action-packed and emotional sequel. The Karna-Bhairava connection is expected to be the driving force of the next film, giving Prabhas a more prominent role and character depth.
