Talking about the release date, Vyjayanthi Movies founder and producer C. Ashwini Dutt said in a statement: “As Vyjayanthi Movies marked its 50th year, the importance of May 9 in our cinematic journey remains evident. From the iconic ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari’ to the award-winning ‘Mahanati’ and ‘Maharshi,’ this date has etched its place in our history. Now, the release of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ featuring gifted artists like Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone marks a special moment for us and aligns with the banner’s milestone 50th year, making it even more meaningful as we continue our journey at Vyjayanthi Movies.”
Prabhas shared the release date announcement poster and wrote, “The countdown to the future has begun! #Kalki2898AD in theatres worldwide on 9th May 2024.”
“T 4888 – The story that ended 6000 years ago.

Recently, Nag Ashwin opened up about Kalki 2898 AD at an event in IIT Bombay. The director said, “In India, we do not have a lot of sci-fi films. We have done a few time travel films. This one is different because it’s in a whole separate world on its own. Also, in the international sense, it is new because we have not seen India in a future setting or dystopian setting. So now we don’t have to look at London and New York being born, now we can see our cities also.”
He added, “This movie took place in the cusp between before and after Midjourney and before and after Chat GPT. First two years, we did a lot of work and then we realised a lot of work became easier after this text-to-image and image-to-text generator happened.”
