Scheduled for a theatrical release on May 9th, 2024, the film is poised to become the biggest cinematic event of the year.

Thirdly, the movie is produced by Vyjayanthi Films, renowned for its productions such as “Sita Raman” (2023), “Agni Parvatam” (1985), and “Indra” (2002). “Kalki 2898 AD” carries forward the legacy of this prestigious production house.
Fourthly, ’Kalki 2898 AD’’ made history by becoming the first Indian film to showcase at San Diego Comic-Con, one of the world’s most popular comic book and cultural conventions. And last but not the least,
This film blends Hindu mythology with dystopian science fiction, and explores themes of prophecy and salvation.
With a title referencing the Hindu prophecy of the tenth reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, Kalki, the film embodies the ‘chosen one’ trope characteristic of epic sci-fi sagas.
