Anand Mahindra Praises Kalki 2898 AD Director Nag Ashwin, Shares How His Team Built Bujji

Kalki 2898 AD is one of the most highly anticipated films this year. This epic science-fiction is co-written and directed by Nag Ashwin. It stars Prabhas in the lead role. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world in 2898 AD. Apart from Prabhas, actors Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani will be seen in the film. Reportedly produced on a budget of Rs 600 crore, Kalki 2898 AD has become the most expensive Indian film yet.

The film is currently garnering headlines for the introduction of a new character which is a robot car called Bujji. On Wednesday, the makers of the film held a grand event in Hyderabad which was also attended by the film’s lead actor, Prabhas. Now, Anand Mahindra, the owner of Mahindra Group, has congratulated the makers of Kalki for introducing such a marvellous piece. He also revealed that the engineers of Mahindra helped the Kalki team to attain their vision.

In the latest viral post, Anand Mahindra said that he is proud of Nag Ashwin and his tribe of filmmakers who are not scared to leap beyond imagination. “Our team in Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai helped the Kalki team realise its vision for a futuristic vehicle by simulating the powertrain configuration, architecture and performance.” wrote Anand Mahindra. He shared the snapshots of Nag Ashwin and his conversation on Twitter in which the filmmaker requested the support of the industrialist for the development of Bujji. The conversation which erupted randomly resulted in the iconic character of Bujji. To this, Anand Mahindra wrote, “Fun stuff does, indeed, happen on X.”

Meanwhile, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD earlier also introduced Amitabh Bachchan’s character as Ashwatthama through a monumental projection at Nemawar, Narmada Ghat in Madhya Pradesh. The selection of the location holds great significance as it is believed that Ashwatthama still walks on the ground of Narmada.

Prabhas was last seen in the blockbuster film Salaar, directed by Prashanth Neel.
