Nag Ashwin’s ambitious project Kalki 2898 AD is currently running in theaters. It is considered the first dystopian sci-fi film based on Indian mythology. The film features an ensemble cast, including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Disha Patani, Shobana, and others.
Kalki 2898 AD is one of the most expensive films made in India. It was allegedly made on a budget of about $72 million. However, due to the buzz surrounding the project, it is expected to exceed the makers’ expectations at the box office. As a result, the film’s collection in North America is increasing every day.

Kalki 2898 AD has been trending worldwide. The movie is working amazingly well in the overseas market, especially in the North American region. Moreover, its advanced bookings confirmed that the film would do extraordinarily well and earn a whopping sum.
After two days in the theaters, Kalki 2898 AD has achieved a new feat. The distributors took to social media and posted, “North America gross stands at $7.2 Million+ & counting.”
The film has also broken the record of Prabhas’ previous release, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire. The distributors wrote, “Against all odds, #SalaarCeaseFire became his Biggest opening premieres and second highest grossing film ever! Now, #Kalki2898AD unleashes the full potential of Box Office Amma Mogudu #Prabhas and breaks All Time Premieres Records and Premieres + Day 1 gross as well.

Kalki 2898 AD follows the events of the Mahabharata. The film spans across the time of the Hindu epic and ends in 2898 AD. It is set in Kashi, the world’s first city, where the conditions have become difficult for humans to survive. However, this has resulted in the emergence of a new place, known as the Complex, which has taken all the resources from the Earth.
While Prabhas’ Bhairava is the protagonist, Kamal Haasan’s Yaskin is the lead antagonist. Since its release, the film has kept the audience hooked on the Kalki universe. As a result, the audience is now waiting for its sequel.
