Prabhas and Deepika Padukone recently grabbed headlines for the first look posters from their film, which was called Project K. Later, it was revealed that the film is titled Kalki 2898 AD. The film is planned to release in two parts, and ever since the first look posters dropped, the lead actors were massively trolled for their looks.
While Prabhas was called Sasta Iron Man, DP was criticised for a photoshoot look. They were even called out as the film was said to be a rip-off of the Hollywood film Dune.But after the reactions of the poster went viral, it seems like the team has decided otherwise. Reports say that the film has been pushed across several months owing to a lot of VFX work still left.
Earlier, it was reported that the film starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan helmed by Nag Ashwin, is a modernised and adapted version of Mahabharata where Big B plays Ashwatthama and Prabhas plays a version of Karna! The backdrop for the film would be World War 3! The science fiction film was also reported to be based on the tenth Avatar of Vishnu, which is said to take place in Kalyug according to the mythological stories. The premise definitely seems interesting, but the first-look posters and teaser have not created much buzz.
