The much-anticipated film 'Kalki 2898 AD' has taken the movie world by storm even before its official release. The advance bookings for this epic dystopian science-fiction action film have started with such a high demand that it caused BookMyShow’s official website to crash. The excitement for Prabhas and Nag Ashwin’s collaboration is palpable, hinting at a potential blockbuster.

With just three days to go before its release, many shows nationwide are already marked as ‘almost full.’ The pre-release sales began earlier in North America, where the film is competing with SS Rajamouli’s RRR in the US and Canada markets. Industry experts are predicting that Kalki 2898 AD might break several box office records and achieve new milestones in these regions.

In India, the advance booking has kicked off in the South and limited arenas across the nation. Data from Sacnilk shows that in Hyderabad alone, 121 out of 244 shows are nearly full. The Prabhas starrer is also seeing a fantastic trend in cities like Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Chennai.

According to the latest updates, Kalki 2898 AD has already grossed 5.15 crores from advance bookings on the first day, excluding blocked seats. With the film still three days away from release, this figure is expected to grow exponentially in the last 48 hours. 

The buzz around the movie is further heightened by the star-studded cast. Alongside Prabhas, the film features Deepika Padukone as the leading lady, with Amitabh Bachchan, Disha Patani, Kamal Haasan, and Brahmanandam in pivotal roles. The storyline promises an epic journey set in a dystopian future, blending science fiction with high-octane action.
