Rana Daggubati Excited for “Kalki 2898 AD”: India’s Next Big Moment

Rana Daggubati is well-known for his portrayal of the formidable Bhallaladeva in the Baahubali series. He has captured the hearts of audiences across South and Hindi cinema. Recently, Rana was a guest on the candid podcast “Raw Talks With VK,” hosted by Vamshi Kurapati. During the podcast, Rana expressed his excitement for the upcoming sci-fi extravaganza “Kalki 2898 AD,” despite not being part of the project. He said, “The next big moment is Kalki. Nag Ashwin is a very dear friend. Not just India and the Indian diaspora but everyone in the world will connect to Kalki. For a long time, I have been waiting for an Avengers moment from our side. That’s what has excited me to be part of it.”

Rana’s association with “Kalki 2898 AD” goes beyond mere anticipation. He had previously accompanied the team to the San Diego Comic-Con when the project was tentatively titled “Project K.” In an interview at the India Today conclave, Rana shared his thoughts on the film’s potential impact and said, “We celebrate each other’s cinema fully. Like there is another film called Project K, which Nag Ashwin is directing with Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone. That’s a film we are really looking forward to in Telugu. That film will, I think, break the boundaries that both Baahubali and RRR haven’t done. Pushing that boundary to the next edge. I am really looking forward to that film and it could really become a global film from Telugu (cinema).”

While audiences eagerly anticipate “Kalki 2898 AD,” Rana is gearing up for his next venture, “Vettaiyan,” a Tamil action-drama featuring stalwarts like Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, and more. With his versatile roles and a keen eye for groundbreaking cinema, Rana Daggubati continues to enthral audiences across the cinematic landscape.
