Amitabh Bachchan Set to Shoot for Kalki 2
Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan is preparing for an exhilarating return to the dystopian world of Kalki 2898 AD with the upcoming sequel, Kalki 2. Scheduled to begin filming in May 2025, this highly anticipated project promises to elevate the narrative with Bachchan reprising his role as Ashwatthama. The film will feature an impressive cast, including Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone, and is expected to deliver intense action sequences and a gripping storyline.
Expanded Role and Action-Packed Sequences
According to sources close to the production, Amitabh Bachchan will have an expanded role in Kalki 2, with filming set to continue until June 15, 2025. The veteran actor, who previously portrayed the immortal Ashwatthama from the Mahabharata, will delve deeper into his character, showcasing more action and weaponry. The sequel will follow Ashwatthama’s journey alongside Bhairava/Karna, played by Prabhas, as they embark on a mission to rescue Sumathi’s unborn child, portrayed by Deepika Padukone. The stakes are higher this time, as they confront the menacing Supreme Commander Yaskin, played by Kamal Haasan. This clash of titans is expected to be a highlight of the film, promising a grander spectacle than its predecessor.
Expanding the Universe of Kalki
Kalki 2 aims to broaden the universe established in the first film by introducing new elements, including a fourth world known as Flux Lands and a new tribe called the Nomens. While a portion of the filming was completed last year, significant action sequences remain to be shot. A massive set has been constructed on the outskirts of Hyderabad, where key scenes will be filmed. The production team is scaling up their efforts to create an even more ambitious vision compared to the first installment, which was shot in Shankarpally. Amitabh Bachchan is expected to start preparing for his role by the end of March 2025, ensuring he is ready to embody the complexities of Ashwatthama when filming begins.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Busy Schedule Ahead
Following the completion of Kalki 2, Amitabh Bachchan shows no signs of slowing down. After wrapping up filming by mid-June, he is set to begin shooting for the next season of his popular quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, in July 2025, with the new season expected to air in August. At 82 years old, Bachchan continues to balance his film commitments with his beloved television presence, demonstrating his enduring appeal in the entertainment industry. As he prepares for the action-packed role in Kalki 2, fans eagerly await what promises to be one of the most exciting releases of 2025.
