The much-anticipated sci-fi dystopian film, “Kalki 2898 AD,” has unveiled its first look teaser, introducing legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan in the role of Ashwatthama. The teaser, which premiered on Star Sports after the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) match during the Indian Premier League (IPL), has created a buzz among fans and cinephiles alike.
In the 21-second promo video, Amitabh Bachchan is seen in a solemn moment, praying in front of a Shiva Linga inside what appears to be a cave. However, his meditation is interrupted by a child’s curious questions, asking about his immortality and identity. Responding with an air of mystery and authority, Bachchan’s resonant voice declares, “Since ancient times, I have awaited the arrival of the Avatar. I am Guru Drona’s son. Ashwatthama.”
The teaser not only showcased Bachchan’s powerful presence but also hinted at the film’s intricate narrative and mythical elements. Amitabh Bachchan further shared the teaser on his Instagram feed without any caption, letting the visual speak for itself.
