'Kalki 2898 AD' is scheduled to hit the cinemas later this year. It is said to have been unofficially postponed from May 9 due to the upcoming election season.
At a time when exciting utterances have to be made about the film, the makers of the multi-lingual spectacle are doling out dull sentences. In the latest instance, producer Swapna Dutt said that Prabhas' character, Bhairava, will stay in the hearts of the audience for a long time.
Statements like the above are too generic and too cliched. Such lines have been used even by the directors of films like 'Maharshi' and 'Acharya'.
Audiences anticipate a higher level of engagement when discussing a global film like 'Kalki'. While it's acknowledged that promotional efforts are still pending, even the limited appearances Nag Ashwin has made regarding the movie thus far have lacked the expected sensational impact in their statements.
The most interesting words about the movie may have been saved for the final one or two months of promotions. The anticipation of Prabhas' fans will persist!
