Amitabh Bachchan is currently enjoying the success of his latest film, 'Kalki 2898 AD,' which also features Prabhas and Deepika Padukone. Recently, at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, he met Ravi Kishan, who shared a heartfelt moment with the legendary actor. He later posted a video on Instagram where both actors praised each other. He commented, 'I was praising his character in 'Kalki' and the great actor Shri @amitabhbachchan ji was praising my character of Manohar in #laapataaladies. This gesture shows the greatness of such artists and personalities, his love is a blessing.'
Amitabh Bachchan himself reflected on the success of 'Kalki 2898 AD' after reports surfaced that it had surpassed collections of 'Pathaan' in India, the first blockbuster of 2023 starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. In 'Kalki 2898 AD,' Amitabh starred alongside Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Kamal Haasan. Film, released in June, has quickly become one of the year's biggest hits.
Directed by Nag Ashwin, 'Kalki 2898 AD' draws heavily from Mahabharata, set in a dystopian future. The story revolves around four central characters: Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan), Yaskin (Kamal Haasan), and Bhairava (Prabhas).
Amitabh Bachchan's portrayal of Ashwatthama garnered praise, with the actor humorously recalling his initial reaction during the film's pre-release press conference, 'When Nag Ashwin came and explained his idea to me, for the long time after he left I was thinking, ‘what the hell is Nagi drinking?'.
