The much-awaited pan-India project ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, starring Prabhas, has been affected by the elections in the two Telugu states. The polling for the Lok Sabha elections will be held on May 13 in Telangana, while in Andhra Pradesh, polling will be held for both the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections on the same day.
Due to the elections, most of the crew members working on the film’s VFX have gone to their hometowns, which has had a ripple effect on the film’s post-production work.
Producer Swapna Dutt took to social media to share a photo of herself with director Nag Ashwin and a funny conversation they had about the situation.
In the photo, Nag Ashwin is seen saying, “Everyone who was working on the VFX for our film has gone to Hyderabad for the elections.”
Swapna Dutt then asks, “So, who do you think will win the elections?”
Nag Ashwin replies, “Who cares about that? I just want to know when my VFX shots will be ready!”
The post has since gone viral on social media.
The film is being directed by Mahanati fame Nag Ashwin and stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Pashupathi in lead roles.
The story of the film is said to start from the time of the epic Mahabharata and end in the year 2898.
The film has a huge star cast and a unique story, and it is sure to generate a lot of buzz when it is finally released.
