Fans of Kalki 2898 AD are still riding the high from its blockbuster run, but it sounds like the sequel’s going to keep us waiting a bit longer. According to Telugu360, the follow-up to Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi spectacle is stuck in a holding pattern, mostly because Prabhas is swamped with other projects.
The first film, which pulled in a jaw-dropping ₹1100 crore worldwide, had everyone hooked with its epic cliffhanger and promise of an even bigger showdown. With stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan joining Prabhas, the sequel was supposed to start rolling soon. But Prabhas’ jam-packed schedule—think Raja Saab, Fauji, and Spirit—means he’s got no room to squeeze in Kalki 2 just yet.
Nag Ashwin’s got the green light from Bachchan, Padukone, and Haasan, but without Prabhas, things are on pause. For now, Ashwin’s keeping himself busy messing around with a couple of new scripts. The plan’s to jump back into Kalki 2 once Prabhas can clear his calendar, which might not be until next year.
The delay’s got fans a little antsy, especially after the first film’s wild blend of mythology and sci-fi. Social media’s buzzing, with some folks freaking out over rumors of cast changes, though recent X posts shut down talk of Padukone bailing. The hype for Kalki 2 is still off the charts, with fans calling it one of the biggest sequels on the horizon.
Until Prabhas frees up, the Kalki crew’s playing the waiting game. Fans, hang in there and keep an eye out for any news on when this epic’s back on track.
