During a chat with Deadline, Prabhas mentioned he is not good at pushing his work to the international level. Further in the chat, the actor highlighted the reason behind Kalki 2898 AD’s massive budget. He confirmed that the movie was made for overseas audiences. Moreover, the massive star cast also increased the film’s budget. He said, “The whole film is made for international [audiences].” “That’s why it’s the highest budget and we’ve got the best actors in the country.”
Prabhas then recalled his reaction when he was told the movie also stars Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. He said, “I never thought I would work with people like Amitabh Sir and Kamal Sir [at all], let alone in one film.” “When I heard, I called the producer and said, ‘What are you giving me? This is an achievement beyond anything.'”
Following his long spree of starring in movies that released pan-India, Prabhas revealed how it makes him feel good. He said, “We were hearing for the first time people calling me ‘pan-Indian’.” “That doesn’t really affect me but it’s a good feeling to think that people around the country like me now.”
Fans have extremely high expectations for Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD. The movie will be released in the theaters worldwide on June 27, 2024.
