Prabhas recently opened up about how he prepped for his role of Bhairava in the upcoming sci-fi epic. He went on to say that it is unlike anything he has done before and fans will get to see him in an entertaining and funny avatar.
He said, “It’s more in the mind. Me and our director Nag Ashwin did a few workshops and we would talk a lot about the character before going to the sets. Whenever we would have an idea or a doubt, we would thoroughly discuss it. This character has a lot of shades and is very different from my previous films.”
The Indian star added, “For the first time, audiences will watch me in a full-fledged entertaining character. Bhairava and ‘Bujji’ are really funny, especially this character—the way he is born and his situation. I feel this kind of character, I have never done something with so many shades. Other than Telugu, this is the first funny character audiences will watch me in.”
‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies. A multilingual, mythology-inspired sci-fi spectacle set in the future, the film will hit the big screens in multiple languages on June 27, 2024.
Talking about ‘B&B: Bujji & Bhairava’, the animated series has quickly become one of the most binge-watched sci-fi series on Prime Video, trending in the top 10 in India within just a week of its release.
The story of this two-episode prelude is set in the year 2896 AD, in the futuristic, dystopian city of Kasi. Bhairava is a bounty hunter, and Bujji is an AI pilot of a cargo ship. Both suffer setbacks in their journeys, and an unlikely partnership blooms, setting the stage for adventure.
