As the epic sci-fi film 'Kalki 2898 AD' completes one year since its release, fans were delighted to see megastar Amitabh Bachchan marking the occasion with an emotional message. The film, released in 2024, was a massive box office success and featured a power-packed cast including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Amitabh Bachchan himself. Directed by Nag Ashwin, 'Kalki 2898 AD' became one of the most ambitious and visually grand films in Indian cinema.

To celebrate the film’s anniversary, Amitabh Bachchan re-shared a post from Vyjayanthi Movies on X, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude for being part of such a monumental cinematic project. His message, though brief, carried deep emotions and hinted at a potential return in the much-anticipated sequel.

“My honored privilege to be asked to be a part of it ... one that I admired and respected the blessings of Vijayanti films and the elders that ran and connected with it … ever to be a part of it any day again, IF THEY WERE TO EVER TO ASK,” Bachchan wrote, subtly suggesting that he would gladly return if invited for 'Kalki 2'.

The film that blended mythology with futuristic storytelling, set in a dystopian world. It emerged as the second-highest-grossing film of 2024 and secured its place as the fourth-highest-grossing Telugu film of all time.
