Is Abhishek Bachchan a 'victim of nepotism'? Amitabh Bachchan reacts

<p>India vs Pakistan is the mother of all matches. The two Asian giants will script another chapter in this iconic rivalry in Dubai this Sunday (Feb 23) in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/champions-trophy" rel="dofollow">ICC Champions Trophy 2025</a>. Although Pakistan holds a better head-to-head record (3-2) over India in tournament history, India will enter this contest as hot favourites, something the former Indian quick Atul Wassan feels would be no fun.</p>
<p>Reflecting on this iconic rivalry on the eve of the match, the cricketer-turned-broadcaster said he wishes to see Pakistan prevail in this high-octane clash, as it would make things exciting in Group A, with three teams having two points each. This way, everyone remains hooked to the competition till the end.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Besides, speaking on India&rsquo;s latest success against their arch-rivals across two formats, Wassan says it&rsquo;s like watching Amitabh Bachchan punching villains (in old Bollywood movies) without getting hit, which was never fun to him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan might be the defending champions, but they haven&rsquo;t won a single ODI against India in their past five contested matches, with their last win coming in the 2017 Champions Trophy final.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, both the teams have had contrasting starts to this edition, with Pakistan losing to New Zealand (by 60 runs) in their first game, while&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/cricket/ind-vs-ban-live-score-updates-champions-trophy-2025-ball-by-ball-updates-and-full-scorecard-india-vs-bangladesh-dubai-international-cricket-stadium-8738242" rel="dofollow">India beat Bangladesh by six wickets</a> in their tournament opener in Dubai.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I want Pakistan to win because it will make the rest of the tournament more exciting. If Pakistan plays well and wins, there will be a real contest," Atul Wassan said in a chat with ANI. "It's like Amitabh Bachchan - if he keeps punching the enemies nonstop, there's no fun in watching it. I hope Pakistan makes a comeback; it will be good for the tournament.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>How did the shift happen?</h2>
<p>Pakistan was a force to reckon with until the early 2000s, having tasted plenty of success against India in the ODIs. However, since then, the momentum shifted towards India, who remain the most daunting team in world cricket, let alone in this rivalry.</p>

<p>Speaking on the same lines, Wassan said, "Until Pakistan improves its cricket, there's no excitement in watching India vs Pakistan games. When I played in the '90s, Pakistan had so many great players - Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Saeed Anwar. We used to lose to them quite often.</p>

<p>Am<em>i</em>tabh Bachchan paid tributes to Raj Kapoor on the occasion of the legendary actor-filmmaker's 100th birth anniversary, describing the 1951 classic <em>Awara </em>as a shining example of his "incredible showmanship" that left a lasting impression on the megastar.</p></p>
<p>Bachchan, 82, said the "powerful and mystical symbolism" in the famous dream sequence of the black-and-white movie, also starring Nargis, is his favourite part about<em> Awara.</em></p>
<p>The film revolves around the intertwining lives of a poor thief Raj (played by Raj Kapoor), the privileged Rita (Nargis), and Judge Raghunath (Prithviraj Kapoor) who is unaware that Raj is his son.</p>
<p><strong>Also read:<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/raj-kapoor-100-7-films-directed-by-the-legend-that-you-must-watch-783447/aag-1948-783434"> </a></strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/raj-kapoor-100-7-films-directed-by-the-legend-that-you-must-watch-783447/aag-1948-783434">Raj Kapoor @ 100: 7 Films Directed By The Legend That You Must Watch</a></p>
<p>Raj Kapoor also directed and produced<em> Awara,</em> which was penned by his frequent collaborator Khwaja Ahmad Abbas.</p>
<p>“Even today ‘Awara’ is a film that is etched in my mind. Talking about Rajji’s incredible showmanship, the way he envisioned the dream sequence in the film had never been seen before.</p>
<p>“You are amazed by his fantastical imagination that visualised the surreal setting, the ethereal Nargisji emerging through thick clouds of smoke, Rajji surrounded by demonic figures and burning fires – there is a powerful, mystical symbolism in the dream sequence, and that is my favourite,” Bachchan wrote in an X post.</p>
<p>Raj Kapoor would have turned 100 on December 14.</p>

To mark his birth anniversary, the Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) and RK Films organised ‘Raj Kapoor 100 – Celebrating the Centenary of the Greatest Showman’, a three-day grand festival of 10 milestone Raj Kapoor films screening in 40 cities and 135 cinemas across the country. It will conclude on Sunday.



New Delhi, India Amitabh Bachchan paid tributes to Raj Kapoor on the occasion of the legendary actor-filmmaker's 100th birth anniversary, describing the 1951 classic Awara as a shining example of his "incredible showmanship" that left a lasting impression on the megastar. Bachchan, 82, said the "powerful and mystical symbolism" in the famous dream sequence of the black-and-white movie, also starring Nargis, is his favourite part about Awara. The film revolves around the intertwining lives of a poor thief Raj (played by Raj Kapoor), the privileged Rita (Nargis), and Judge Raghunath (Prithviraj Kapoor) who is unaware that Raj is his son. Also read: Raj Kapoor @ 100: 7 Films Directed By The Legend That You Must Watch Raj Kapoor also directed and produced Awara, which was penned by his frequent collaborator Khwaja Ahmad Abbas. “Even today ‘Awara’ is a film that is etched in my mind. Talking about Rajji’s incredible showmanship, the way he envisioned the dream sequence in the film had never been seen before. “You are amazed by his fantastical imagination that visualised the surreal setting, the ethereal Nargisji emerging through thick clouds of smoke, Rajji surrounded by demonic figures and burning fires – there is a powerful, mystical symbolism in the dream sequence, and that is my favourite,” Bachchan wrote in an X post. Raj Kapoor would have turned 100 on December 14.

Amitabh Bachchan paid tributes to Raj Kapoor on the occasion of the legendary actor-filmmaker's 100th birth anniversary, describing the 1951 classic Awara as a shining example of his "incredible showmanship" that left a lasting impression on the megastar.

Amitabh Bachchan paid tributes to Raj Kapoor on the occasion of the legendary actor-filmmaker's 100th birth anniversary, describing the 1951 classic Awara as a shining example of his "incredible showmanship" that left a lasting impression on the megastar. Bachchan, 82, said the "powerful and mystical symbolism" in the famous dream sequence of the black-and-white movie, also starring Nargis, is his favourite part about Awara. The film revolves around the intertwining lives of a poor thief Raj (played by Raj Kapoor), the privileged Rita (Nargis), and Judge Raghunath (Prithviraj Kapoor) who is unaware that Raj is his son. Also read: Raj Kapoor @ 100: 7 Films Directed By The Legend That You Must Watch Raj Kapoor also directed and produced Awara, which was penned by his frequent collaborator Khwaja Ahmad Abbas. “Even today ‘Awara’ is a film that is etched in my mind. Talking about Rajji’s incredible showmanship, the way he envisioned the dream sequence in the film had never been seen before. “You are amazed by his fantastical imagination that visualised the surreal setting, the ethereal Nargisji emerging through thick clouds of smoke, Rajji surrounded by demonic figures and burning fires – there is a powerful, mystical symbolism in the dream sequence, and that is my favourite,” Bachchan wrote in an X post. Raj Kapoor would have turned 100 on December 14.

<h2><strong>About ANR National Awards 2024</strong></h2>

<p>The 20th edition of ANR Award 2024 marked a momentous occasion, as it took place during the centenary celebrations of the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao, fondly known as ANR.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The grand event, held at the iconic Annapurna Studios founded in 1975 by ANR, was a glittering tribute to the cinematic legacy of the doyen of Telugu cinema. Megastar Chiranjeevi was honoured with the prestigious ANR Award for his lifetime achievements and outstanding contribution&nbsp;to Indian cinema.</p>

<p>Bollywood legend&nbsp;Amitabh Bachchan was the guest of honour and presented the award to Dr&nbsp;Konidela Chiranjeevi.</p>

<h2><strong>Naga Chaitanya-Sobhita Dhulipala relationship</strong></h2>

<p>Naga and Sobhita got engaged in August 2024, after two years of dating. The couple had kept their relationship private until Nagarjuna announced their engagement and shared photos of the ceremony on X. The pictures featured the newly engaged couple dressed in traditional attires.&nbsp;While Naga was seen in an off-white kurta-pyjama, Sobhita opted for a soft pink saree. Their wedding date is still kept under wraps, however, Sobhita recently kicked off pre-wedding festivities at Visakhapatnam earlier this month.&nbsp;</p>

In the video, as Sobhita greets Chiranjeevi, the veteran actor can be seen complementing the soon-to-be-married couple by gesturing with a perfect fingers sign. Sobhita was seen in a light green sari and matching blouse. Naga wore a blue blazer paired with black trousers.

The grand event, held at the iconic Annapurna Studios founded in 1975 by ANR, was a glittering tribute to the cinematic legacy of the doyen of Telugu cinema. Megastar Chiranjeevi was honoured with the prestigious ANR Award for his lifetime achievements and outstanding contribution to Indian cinema. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan was the guest of honour and presented the award to Dr Konidela Chiranjeevi. Naga Chaitanya-Sobhita Dhulipala relationship Naga and Sobhita got engaged in August 2024, after two years of dating. The couple had kept their relationship private until Nagarjuna announced their engagement and shared photos of the ceremony on X. The pictures featured the newly engaged couple dressed in traditional attires. While Naga was seen in an off-white kurta-pyjama, Sobhita opted for a soft pink saree. Their wedding date is still kept under wraps, however, Sobhita recently kicked off pre-wedding festivities at Visakhapatnam earlier this month.

Amitabh Bachchan turned 82 today! (Oct 11) To make his day special and memorable, some Big B fans from Poland gave a musical tribute to the megastar who described it as the "most revered gift". The tribute holds a special place in the actor's heart since it pays homage to his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Sharing a video of the musical tribute on X and Instagram, Big B wrote, "The day of birth .. and another day in its knowing that the celebration at that time was different to the time now .. and the most revered gift that comes to me is from the City of Wroclaw, Poland." Detailing the history behind his personal connection with Poland, Amitabh shared, "The City of Wroclaw, Poland as you all may know gave me the Ambassador declaration of the City during my last visit there ..It is the City of Literature also and they have placed a molding of Babuji on their main Square .. It is also the City of Elfs and they honoured Babuji with this statue .. They have also named a Square-Street after Babuji, the Harivansh Rai Bachchan street square." “AND ..As a gift from the City they have sent me for this day a most loving generous and overwhelming gift .. Young musicians play the violin as a respect to Babuji 's Madhushala the tune in which he sang it .. at all the prominent locations of the City .. it is a most humbling and overwhelming gesture .. and words fail me in expressing my emotion at this point,” he concluded.

Aamir Khan surprises Amitabh Bachchan with question about Jaya Bachchan on KBC 16

<p>Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was spotted at her in-law's house in Mumbai on Monday afternoon along with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. There have been reports stating that Aishwarya and her actor husband, Abhishek Bachchan are headed for divorce. While the rumours of their divorce have been doing the rounds of the internet, the couple has maintained silence on the matter.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Monday, several Mumbai-based paps took to Instagram to post pictures and videos of Aishwarya and Aaradhya arriving at Bachchan's house, Jalsa, in the afternoon. The mother-daughter duo stepped out of their car and made a quick dash inside without posing for the cameras stationed outside the bungalow. Aishwarya was dressed in green, while Aaradhya seemed to have arrived straight from her school and was in school uniform.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The visit comes amid rumours of her marriage with Abhishek hitting a roadblock. &nbsp;A few days back, Abhishek was spotted without his wedding ring, which fuelled the divorce rumours further.&nbsp;</p>

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was spotted at her in-law's house in Mumbai on Monday afternoon along with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. There have been reports stating that Aishwarya and her actor husband, Abhishek Bachchan are headed for divorce. While the rumours of their divorce have been doing the rounds of the internet, the couple has maintained silence on the matter. On Monday, several Mumbai-based paps took to Instagram to post pictures and videos of Aishwarya and Aaradhya arriving at Bachchan's house, Jalsa, in the afternoon. The mother-daughter duo stepped out of their car and made a quick dash inside without posing for the cameras stationed outside the bungalow. Aishwarya was dressed in green, while Aaradhya seemed to have arrived straight from her school and was in school uniform. The visit comes amid rumours of her marriage with Abhishek hitting a roadblock. A few days back, Abhishek was spotted without his wedding ring, which fuelled the divorce rumours further.

<p>Vidhu Vinod Chopra is one of the acclaimed filmmakers of the Indian film industry and has worked with several big stars of the&nbsp;tinsel town. However, did you know that Chopra once got a tight slap from his mother over the luxury gift worth crores that he gave to legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan?</p>

<p>Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan had worked in the 2007 movie<em> Eklavya</em>, and after the release of the movie, the filmmaker gifted the actor a luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom worth Rs 4 crore.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a conversation with Siddharth Kanan, Chopra recalled the whole story and how he ended up receiving a slap from his mother.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <em>12th Fail</em> director also shared that Jaya Bachchan warned Big B before working with Chopra on&nbsp;the movie, and how he will not be able to tolerate his behaviour on set. And much like Jaya's warning, Chopra and Amitabh did have some disagreement on the set. However, the actor&nbsp;tolerated the filmmaker's behaviour and completed the movie. As a sweet gesture of appreciation, the director went on to give him the car worth crores.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“When we were making Eklavya, Amitabh Bachchan came to the sets with one suitcase for a schedule of two months. I asked, ‘Amit, you travel very light?’ He said, ‘No, Jaya told me ‘more than one week you cannot stand Vinod’,” he shared.</p>

<p>"But because he did not leave and completed the whole film, I gifted him a Rolls-Royce worth Rs 4.5 crore, because he tolerated me and did great work in the film," Chopra&nbsp;shared during the interview.</p>

<p>The hilarious part of the story came after Chopra gifted the luxury car in the presence of his mother, who didn't know that the car cost was in crores.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sharing a funny incident, the director said, “I will never forget this incident. I took my mother with me when I was gifting the car to Amitabh. She handed him the keys. She came back, sat in my car, which was a blue Maruti van. She called Big B ‘Lamboo.’ I didn’t have a driver at the time, so I was driving. She told me, ‘Tu Lamboo nu gaadi dede? (You gave the car to him?)’ I said, ‘Haan.’ She replied, ‘Tu khud kyun nahi leta gaadi? (Why don’t you buy a car yourself?).’"</p>

<p>He continued, "I told her I would buy a car; there is time. She responded, saying, ‘11 lakh ki toh hogi (It must be worth Rs 11 lakh).’ And I laughed because she didn’t know that it was Rs 4.5 crore. I told her the cost, and she slapped me, calling me ‘bewakoof.’ I will never forget that, because what is money if it can’t give you joy.”</p>

<p>Apart from Amitabh, the 2007 film<em> Eklavya: The Royal Guard</em> starred Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt, and Vidya Balan in the lead roles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the same interview, the director shared how he refused to book a Rs 65,000 hotel room for Big B.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Stating budget constraints as a reason, he recalled, “The crisis there was that I could have booked the room for Amitabh, but then I couldn’t leave other stars Saif (Ali Khan) and Sanjay (Dutt) out. I would have to book rooms for them too, and that’s how films go over budget. Then I couldn’t have made the nuanced film like Eklavya. In that case, you could make a bad film that works everywhere.” He also explained how “money in arts is a very dangerous thing” as it limits creative ability.</p>

<p>Although the movie was not a hit at the box office, it earned rave reviews from critics and was also India’s official entry to the Oscars in 2007.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Veteran Bollywood actress and politician Jaya Bachchan was not too happy with the way Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Harivansh Narayan Singh addressed her during a session in the parliament on Monday. Bachchan is a veteran actress and she is married to Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Singh used Amitabh's name as her middle name which the senior actress did not like.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’</strong><br />
<br />
Calling her to speak in a parliament session on Monday, Singh said, “Shrimati Jaya Amitabh Bachchan ji, please.” Jaya replied, “<em>Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata </em>(It would’ve been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan).”<br />
<br />
The speaker then pointed out that her name was mentioned like that in the records.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actress responded by saying, “<em>Ye jo hain kuch naya tarika hain ki mahilaayen apni pati ke naam se jaani jaye. Unka koi astitva nahi. Unki koi upalabdh hi nahi hain, apne mein aur astitva nahi hain. Ye jo naya shuru hua hain, I just…</em>(Some new method has emerged that women have to be known by their husband’s name. Women have no identity. They have no achievements, no identity of their own. This new thing, I just…)</p>

<strong>Fans speak in support of Jaya Bachchan</strong><br />
<br />
Several fans reacted to the video of the actress and called her 'brave'. One asked, “No but why Amitabh got added? If she has not added then who did...or it is happening for everyone.” Another commented, “She's not wrong in any sense btw.”<br />
<br />
Another fan called out the misogynist comments that had flooded the comment section of the video and said, "People today are so selective. Had there been any other woman in her place, the comments would have supported her. She is not wrong though. Before she became a 'Bachchan' she was a successful actress herself. Indeed, how far we have come."<br />
<br />
<strong>'She has always been unapologetic, unfiltered'</strong><br />
<br />
In an interview in 2021, Navya Naveli Nanda had called her grandmother Jaya her ‘inspiration’.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She said, “I am very very close to her and go to her for almost anything whether it is work related advice or personal advice as well. She is someone who has managed to create her own identity, leave her own mark. One of the biggest things I respect about her is how she uses her voice for things she is passionate about. She has always been very unapologetic, to the point, unfiltered, and she has a spine.”</p>

Bachchan is a veteran actress and she is married to Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Singh used Amitabh's name as her middle name which the senior actress did not like. ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’ Calling her to speak in a parliament session on Monday, Singh said, “Shrimati Jaya Amitabh Bachchan ji, please.” Jaya replied, “Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata (It would’ve been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan).” The speaker then pointed out that her name was mentioned like that in the records. The actress responded by saying, “Ye jo hain kuch naya tarika hain ki mahilaayen apni pati ke naam se jaani jaye. Unka koi astitva nahi. Unki koi upalabdh hi nahi hain, apne mein aur astitva nahi hain. Ye jo naya shuru hua hain, I just…(Some new method has emerged that women have to be known by their husband’s name. Women have no identity. They have no achievements, no identity of their own. This new thing, I just…) Watch: "It's a very painful incident and we should not bring politics into the matter," says Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan on the death of the UPSC student in Old Rajinder Nagar pic.twitter.com/4928QcZoNS — IANS (@ians_india) July 29, 2024 × Fans speak in support of Jaya Bachchan Several fans reacted to the video of the actress and called her 'brave'.

Amitabh Bachchan gives Rajinikanth a tight hug as he tries to touch his feet; video goes viral

<p>Filmmaker Nag Ashwin is happy with the response that his new film <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> has been receiving. The film has grossed over Rs 7 billion at the box office worldwide and is the biggest film of the filmmaker's career. Reacting to the film's glorious run at the box office, Ashwin in a recent interview said that the film's success will now encourage other directors to explore the sci-fi genre.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“A movie like this is beyond us. The ambition was bigger in the sense, that there was a larger thing at stake than just us. Many makers were waiting for the result of this sci-fi film. If it didn’t work, it would have closed doors for more years.”<br />
<br />
The director, however, is conscious of the feedback or criticism from viewers. Many termed the film's first half boring and long. Ashwin said, "It has been a universal response that people found the first half slow, and it’s very valid. In a three-hour film if viewers liked two hours and 54 minutes, I will take that.”</p>

Kalki featured a stellar cast comprising Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone. Recalling how the production begun during the pandemic and it was “tough to get the finances” in place for the film, he shares, “Luckily, we did have the biggest star cast of our country, so we had a little bit of a cushion there. Plus the previous films we (the producers) have done together, worked, so there was goodwill on that front.”<br />

Made on an expensive budget, Nag Ashwin's 3D film <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> is touted as the most expensive film to be produced in India at a reported budget of Rs 600 crore (7,18,70,940&nbsp;USD). The mythological and sci-fi action film released in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi and English. Produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, Disha Patani, Saswata Chatterjee and Shobhana among others.<br />
<br />
After a good response at the box office, <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> will have a sequel, confirmed the director. In a recent press conference, Ashwin told the media that he would like to make another film to take the story forward. He said that as the film has four main characters – Bhairava (Prabhas), SU-M80 (Deepika), Ashwatthama (Amitabh) and Supreme Yaskin (Kamal) - he wanted to do them all justice. “I soon realised that fitting four characters into one film was not manageable. It had its challenges. There is a lot of action and backstories that have yet to be explored, and they will be in the sequel. We still have a lot of shooting, even casting for new characters, left to do,” he said.<br />

<p>In her review, WION's Film critic Shomini Sen wrote, "Written by Nag Ashwin, the film has taken huge references from Dune, Star Wars, Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner and even Marvel movies. It's a slow first half and an unnecessary subplot involving Disha Patani and Prabhas's forced romance and gallivanting around the complex." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kalki-2898-ad-review-a-film-about-giant-amitabh-bachchan-flying-prabhas-and-distressed-deepika-padukone-735633" target="_blank">Read the full review here.&nbsp;</a></p>

Filmmaker Nag Ashwin is happy with the response that his new film Kalki 2898 AD has been receiving. The film has grossed over Rs 7 billion at the box office worldwide and is the biggest film of the filmmaker's career. Reacting to the film's glorious run at the box office, Ashwin in a recent interview said that the film's success will now encourage other directors to explore the sci-fi genre. “A movie like this is beyond us. The ambition was bigger in the sense, that there was a larger thing at stake than just us. Many makers were waiting for the result of this sci-fi film. If it didn’t work, it would have closed doors for more years.” The director, however, is conscious of the feedback or criticism from viewers. Many termed the film's first half boring and long.

Nag Ashwin on viewers calling first half of Kalki 2898 AD slow: It's been a universal response

<p>Filmmaker Nag Ashwin's recent sci-fi Kalki 2898 AD has been getting a lot of love from the audience ever since its release on June 27, 2024. While everyone has picked favourite characters and moments from the film, a clear fan favourite is a scene near the interval that features Deepika Padukone.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The scene has Sumathi (Deepika Padukone) protecting her pregnant belly and braving through a tunnel with fire all around her.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The director, while speaking to India Today, has called it his favourite scene from the film and stated how it was shot in a hurry.</p>

<p>Talking about the fire sequence, Nag said, "That is one of my favourite scenes; I think maybe the most favourite scene. But the way we shot was so hurried. We were shooting three setups that day and Deepika had to leave by&nbsp;a certain flight. It usually happens that some of the most important or magical things in the film happen by chance or in a hurry. And this is what that was. And, but just watching it in that hurry, in that rush and everything, when you just reach the monitor and you see Deepika walking through that particular tunnel in that fire, I just knew this was going to be special.”</p>

<br />
The director praised Deepika and said, “It was a sort of leap of faith. It was the sort of walking and surrendering to a larger power at play. It was a reference of the birth of Krishna. And it was how there was a leap of faith taken by Vasudeva. It was all of that… Deepika is a super-smart actor. You just need to give her a little and she knows what the brief is. I genuinely thought that the final pose that she holds at the end of that tunnel, when the interval is about to happen, felt like such a strong visual for me.”</p>

<p><em>Kalki 2898 AD </em>made Rs 95.3 crore (above Rs 900 million) &nbsp;on its opening day, and went on to collect ₹414.25 crore (Rs 4 billion) in India in its first week.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the film, Prabhas plays a bounty hunter called Bhairava from Kashi, and Deepika plays a pregnant test subject called SU-M80 or Sumati, while Amitabh plays Ashwatthama from Indian mythology.</p>
