Kalki 2898 AD: Mystery around Nani's absence from Prabhas starrer deepens? Will he be part of the sequel?

Nani was missing from Kalki 2898 AD movie

Kalki 2898 AD has released today. Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone have stolen the show with their stellar performances. The movie is a blend of mythology and dystopian sci-fi action, a genre hardly attempted in Indian cinema. While the first part reportedly takes little time to build up, the second part is sheer goosebumps. The audience is raving about Amitabh Bachchan as the mighty Ashwatthama who is looking for redemption. Kalki 2898 AD is looking like a sureshot Rs 1000 crore movie at the box office. It can even cross the Rs 2000 mark if it rakes in big numbers overseas.

Telugu actor Nani who is a good friend of Prabhas had praised Kalki 2898 AD on social media. Reports were rife that he has a small cameo. People are wondering if it got edited out. Another theory is that Nani will be the child of Deepika Padukone in the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD. Prabhas and Nag Ashwin had a video chat where they discussed the next film. The climax has poised the audience for a great second part. Everyone is hailing the gutsy filmmaking of Nag Ashwin. Nani posted on X, “Internationally slick content oriented mythological futuristic sci fi mass Indian film from the Telugu land eppudaina chusara? Go watch #Kalki2898AD. Proud of what Nagi, Prabhas anna, vyjayanthi movies and other stellar starcast had pulled off.” 

The enigmatic character of Prabhas was revealed in the end of Kalki 2898 AD. Fans did not like the love track between Disha Patani (Roxie) and him. They felt it was out of place in a movie like this. Deepika Padukone has done well as Sumathi who wants to save her baby. But it is the giants Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan who have left the viewers in complete awe.
