Kalki 2898 AD First Look: Introducing Big B As Ashwatthama

The makers of Kalki 2898 AD shared the teaser of Amitabh Bachchan's look from the sci-fi dystopian film on Sunday evening. The 21-second promo video, premiered on Star Sports following the conclusion of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) match during the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The highly anticipated film, that will feature Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani in prominent roles, revealed in its new teaser that Amitabh Bachchan will take on the role of Ashwatthama. The teaser spanning a few seconds, opens with the Don star praying in front of a Shiva Linga in what seems like a cave. He is however interrupted by a child who inquires, “Can you not die?

Are you divine? Who are you?” With escalating tension, Big B's resonant voice proclaims, “Since ancient times, I have awaited the arrival of the Avatar. I am Guru Drona's son. Ashwatthama.”
