<h2><strong>WION's&nbsp;Review of <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em>&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Written by Nag Ashwin, the film has taken huge references from <em>Dune</em>, <em>Star Wars</em>, <em>Mad Max: Fury Road</em>, <em>Blade Runner</em> 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. <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> takes its time to establish the plot. The action mostly begins in the second half, when the pace picks up. However, by then the mind-numbing, long action sequences take precedence and the plot stops making sense. At one point on the screen, we see two giant Amitabh Bachchans fighting each other. Then there is a flying Prabhas with his aid, a robotic- AI-driven car/confidante who also turns into a giant robot, sports car, and spaceship at Prabhas' will. Read the review here.</p>

<p>The excitement surrounding the highly anticipated film <em>The Raja Saab</em>&nbsp;has reached new heights&nbsp;as the makers dropped a stunning motion poster featuring the film's leading man, Prabhas, on the occasion of his birthday.&nbsp;<br />

The excitement surrounding the highly anticipated film The Raja Saab has reached new heights as the makers dropped a stunning motion poster featuring the film's leading man, Prabhas, on the occasion of his birthday. This comes hot on the heels of a pre-birthday fan poster shared by the makers, further fueling fan anticipation. Notably, this film marks Prabhas' first venture into the horror-comedy genre. The two-minute motion poster opens with a haunting "Happy Birthday" tune playing on a piano in the middle of a jungle. It then follows a mysterious figure roaming the woods before transporting viewers to a vintage palace, where Prabhas’ grand look is finally unveiled. The poster then reveals Prabhas seated on a throne in a black outfit, set against the grand backdrop of a vintage palace. He is dressed as a king and holds a cigar. The poster also features the tagline, "Horror Is The New Humor," followed by "Happy Birthday, Rebel Saab." Prabhas also took to Instagram to share the poster, writing, "It's time for some chills and thrills. See you in cinemas on April 10, 2025."

<p>Arshad Warsi's 'Joker' comments on Prabhas's work in sci-fi Kalki 2898 AD has&nbsp;sparked another level of backlash from the Telegu film industry. In addition to Warsi's comment, Telugu actor Nani has faced even larger criticism for the remarks he has passed about the Bollywood actor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After getting condemned for disrespecting Bollywood actor, Nani has come forward to put his stance on his comments, saying that the whole thing has been blown out of proportion through media and social media</p>

<p>Accepting that his choice of words was poor, the<em> Hi Nanna</em> actor in a recent interview with Mid Day.com addressed the viral matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Definitely, my choice of words was also poor. The biggest thing that you can do is accept your regret. But what I am also saying is that it sounds so bad when it’s translated. In this situation, the journalist was constantly trying to bring that question everywhere, and I was trying to say that they are giving it too much importance. Sometimes, emotions are strong and you will react to something and you might feel, ‘It was unnecessary, why did I react?'” he added.</p>

<p>Mentioning his fondness for Prabhas, the Telugu actor said that the whole thing was blown out of proportion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I saw online when a language is translated into English, how it might sound. That happens on social media,” he explained.</p>

<p>“I had only heard what he had commented because the cut clips were all over social media, like how mine was everywhere yesterday. See, it's about a very dear person. When it's about a person you really love, you immediately react and say, 'Why are you giving so much importance to an unimportant matter?' But after seeing a lot of reactions on social media, I went back and watched the whole thing in entirety. So, now I understand it.

<p>“Arshad Warsi ji is a very good actor and we all loved him in Munna Bhai, not just north or south, but the whole of India. It's a household movie,” he said. “When we sit with our friends in our homes, we can rip films and actors apart. But being actors, we need to be extra careful with our choice of words.

Nani accepts his mistake for calling out Arshad Warsi over his ‘joker’ comment: ‘My choice of words was poor’

<p>“The person that you’re referring to, this must be the most publicity he has got in his life. You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter,” Nani quipped.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, now Nani's comment has received a lot of&nbsp;backlash from Arshad's fans, who trolled the Telugu actor, by mentioning the iconic career of Arshad and his evergreen characters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mentioning Warsi's character, Circuit, from <em>Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.</em> (2003), a social media user slammed Nani's comment by writing, “I like nani as an actor but this statement is just very stupid and arrogant also arshad warsi as circuit in munna bhai &gt; whole career of nani.”</p>

<h2><strong>When Arshad said Prabhas was “like a joker” in <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em></strong></h2>

<p>The controversy began when Arshad shared his views on Prabhas's performance in the sci-fi thriller. During his chat on 'Unfiltered by Samdish', the actor said that Prabhas “like a joker” in <em>Kalki 2898 AD.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p>“I am really sad. Prabhas was like a joker. I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. Tumne usko kya bana dia yaar. Kyu karte ho aisa? Mujhe nahin samajh mein aata (What have you made of it? Why do they do such things? I never understand),” he said.&nbsp;</p>

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has faced a lot of backlash ever since he said that Prabhas was like a 'joker' in Nag Ashwin's sci-fi Kalki 2898 AD. Warsi's comment garnered a lot of attention, and several fans of the Rebel star have called him out for his views on the actor's performance. Several A-listers from the film fraternity have strongly reacted to Warsi's comment. And, the most recent one was by Telugu actor Nani. What Nani has said about Warsi's comment? During an event for his film Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, Nani was asked about his views on Arshad's comment, which had created quite a buzz on social media. Without mentioning any of the actor's name or the movie, the Hi Nanna star slammed Warsi's comment, saying that he had got the 'most publicity' of his life because of his comment on Prabhas. "The actor #ArshadWarsi who commented on #Prabhas garu has gained more publicity and popularity now than he ever did throughout his entire acting career." 🤣 ~ Actor @NameisNani pic.twitter.com/gfr6mh3Vwd — Hail Prabhas (@HailPrabhas007) August 21, 2024 × “The person that you’re referring to, this must be the most publicity he has got in his life. You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter,” Nani quipped. However, now Nani's comment has received a lot of backlash from Arshad's fans, who trolled the Telugu actor, by mentioning the iconic career of Arshad and his evergreen characters. Mentioning Warsi's character, Circuit, from Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003), a social media user slammed Nani's comment by writing, “I like nani as an actor but this statement is just very stupid and arrogant also arshad warsi as circuit in munna bhai > whole career of nani.” #ArshadWarsi didn’t say anything wrong here.

Prabhas's next film to feature this Pakistani actress?

<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>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kalki-2898-ad-nag-ashwin-lists-his-favourite-scene-from-the-film-and-it-features-deepika-padukone-738325">Kalki 2898 AD: Nag Ashwin lists his favourite scene from the film and it features Deepika Padukone</a><br />
<br />
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 />
<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 />

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>

<p>Shomini Sen of WION wrote that the film had taken huge references from <em>Dune, Star Wars, Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner</em> and other Marvel movies.

<p><em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> has almost touched the Rs 700 crore mark at the box office which is little more than the film's budget.

He also added by saying, "Rebel Star rocks! @actorprabhas Ulaganayagan is forever supreme! @ikamalhaasan And if you are a die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fan like me..you just can't miss this! @amitabhbachchan.

Big B's performance and his look have both been appreciated by fans and critics alike. Da MakeUp Lab's official Instagram handle shared pictures of his transformation and wrote in the caption "Behold the transformation of Amitabh Bachchan Sir into Ashwatthama: a timeless legend brought to life by a legendary actor." Amitabh Bachchan's make-up artist shares BTS from sets of Kalki 2898 AD Make-up artist Karandeep Singh shared BTS pictures of Big B, from the sets of the movie and congratulated the team saying, "Congratulations to the whole team of Kalki for mind-blasting opening. We hope you all liked the look of sir Amitabh Bachchan designed by Preetisheel and set makeup execution by me. Here are some detailed shots of his look and behind the scenes." Makeup and visuals as a mode of transformation While playing the role of Immortal Ashwatthama, Bachchan underwent hours of make-up transformation in order to achieve the look of Ashwatthma. The movie used a lot of visual effects. While, in some scenes, we see a younger version of Ashwatthama, where by using visual effects, Amitabh Bachchan has been de-aged. Whereas, in some scenes, Amitabh Bachchan has been showed as an eight-feet giant, which symbolises his powers.

Kalki 2898 AD box office: Nag Ashwin's film becomes third highest opening Indian film of all time

<p>Nag Ashwin's <em>Kalki 2898 AD,</em> touted as one of the most expensive films made in India, has lofty aims. The Telugu film - dubbed in Hindi and Tamil- pitches itself as a Pan-India film that includes actors from across industries,&nbsp;a plot that marries Hindu mythology with sci-fi and VFX that is (mostly) at par with Hollywood films of the same genre. Yet, the film's borrowed plot lines and shoddy screenplay make the film borderline comical and utterly disappointing.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Kalki 2898 AD </em>takes you back in time, during the fag end of the war at Kurukshetra in Mahabharata where Lord Krishna curses Ashwathama (Amitabh Bachchan) with immortality. The film transports viewers 6000 years later and 874 years into the future from the present day to a barren, dusty Kurukshetra. Kasi is now the only capital that is under the oppressive rule of tyrant Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) who resides or rather levitates in a huge elevated inverted triangle block called the Complex. His watchdogs, under the command of Commander-in-chief Manas (Saswata Chatterjee ), sift through travelling immigrants in search of fertile females (age notwithstanding). The complex houses hundreds of pregnant and fertile females who are impregnated with lab-harvested eggs to procure a mysterious serum for Yaskin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Outside the complex, it's a dog-eat-dog world where bounty hunters like Bhairava (Prabhas) look for ways to get access to the fabled building which has fresh air, comforts, food, and water in plenty. In the hills, a rebel group led by Mariam (Shobhana) lives in Shambala waiting for a prophecy - the birth of a supreme leader who would bring about a change - to come true.&nbsp;</p>

<p>All hell breaks loose when Sumati (Deepika Padukone), a pregnant woman from the complex manages to escape and is taken by the rebel group to Shambala. On her journey in Nag Ashwin's version of Green Land (a nod to Mad Max), Sumati's path crosses with Ashwathama, who rises from the ashes almost and fights everyone to protect her and her unborn child.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Written by Nag Ashwin, the film has taken huge references from&nbsp;<em>Dune, Star Wars, Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner</em> 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. <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> takes its time to establish the plot. The action mostly begins in the second half, when the pace picks up. However, by then the mind-numbing,&nbsp;long action sequences take precedence and the plot stops making sense. At one point on the screen, we see two giant Amitabh Bachchans fighting each other. Then there is a flying Prabhas with his aid, a robotic- AI-driven car/confidante who also turns into a giant robot, sports car, and spaceship at Prabhas' will.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When you are attempting to make a futuristic film and one that is set so much ahead in time, where machines and gadgets are far superior than mankind can imagine in this day and age, why would people be waiting for a divine force to lead them to change? You have technology, that should work, right?&nbsp;I also don't get most of the costumes in the film. The pregnant women are all scantily clad in whites, sexualising the womb unnecessarily. Or why Shambala's matriarch is in a Roman toga while her army is dressed in high-tech armour?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since the film is a big-budget venture, Nag Ashwin has multiple known faces playing cameos. From Vijay Deverakonda to Mrunal Thakur, to filmmakers SS Rajamouli and Ram Gopal Verma to Malayalam star Anna Ben - all the stars come and go even as Sumati and Ashwathama travel through rugged terrains to Shambala for safety.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I will give full marks to the filmmaker for mounting the film on such a huge scale. The VFX is stunning, at par with Hollywood films, even though they reek of familiarity in several instances. But can VFX alone save a film?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Disha Patani is there to add oomph&nbsp;- I am not sure why she is there. Prabhas' comic timing isn't the best and Deepika Padukone has a singular expression throughout the 180-minute-long film. I only liked Amitabh Bachchan as the mysterious Ashwathama and he towers - literally and figuratively - over everything and everyone else. I am curious to see Kamal Haasan's character in the sequel (yes, the film ends on a cliffhanger promising the viewers more films from the universe.)</p>

<p>There is a reason why superhero films have started to fail in the past two years. No one is keen to indulge makers with absurdities anymore or perhaps one is exhausted at the multiple players in the elaborate universe that filmmakers seem to have spun. In such an environment, I am not sure how great an idea it is to introduce a similar franchise in India. A good sci-fi with a legible story can still be tolerated if it has great performances, catchy lines and some awe-inspiring VFX. Nag Ashwin's film only ticks one box and fails in the rest of the departments.&nbsp;</p>


Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, touted as one of the most expensive films made in India, has lofty aims. The Telugu film - dubbed in Hindi and Tamil- pitches itself as a Pan-India film that includes actors from across industries, a plot that marries Hindu mythology with sci-fi and VFX that is (mostly) at par with Hollywood films of the same genre.

Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, touted as one of the most expensive films made in India, has lofty aims. The Telugu film - dubbed in Hindi and Tamil- pitches itself as a Pan-India film that includes actors from across industries, a plot that marries Hindu mythology with sci-fi and VFX that is (mostly) at par with Hollywood films of the same genre. Yet, the film's borrowed plot lines and shoddy screenplay make the film borderline comical and utterly disappointing. Kalki 2898 AD takes you back in time, during the fag end of the war at Kurukshetra in Mahabharata where Lord Krishna curses Ashwathama (Amitabh Bachchan) with immortality. The film transports viewers 6000 years later and 874 years into the future from the present day to a barren, dusty Kurukshetra. Kasi is now the only capital that is under the oppressive rule of tyrant Yaskin (Kamal Haasan) who resides or rather levitates in a huge elevated inverted triangle block called the Complex. His watchdogs, under the command of Commander-in-chief Manas (Saswata Chatterjee ), sift through travelling immigrants in search of fertile females (age notwithstanding). The complex houses hundreds of pregnant and fertile females who are impregnated with lab-harvested eggs to procure a mysterious serum for Yaskin. Outside the complex, it's a dog-eat-dog world where bounty hunters like Bhairava (Prabhas) look for ways to get access to the fabled building which has fresh air, comforts, food, and water in plenty. In the hills, a rebel group led by Mariam (Shobhana) lives in Shambala waiting for a prophecy - the birth of a supreme leader who would bring about a change - to come true. All hell breaks loose when Sumati (Deepika Padukone), a pregnant woman from the complex manages to escape and is taken by the rebel group to Shambala. On her journey in Nag Ashwin's version of Green Land (a nod to Mad Max), Sumati's path crosses with Ashwathama, who rises from the ashes almost and fights everyone to protect her and her unborn child. 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. Kalki 2898 AD takes its time to establish the plot. The action mostly begins in the second half, when the pace picks up. However, by then the mind-numbing, long action sequences take precedence and the plot stops making sense. At one point on the screen, we see two giant Amitabh Bachchans fighting each other. Then there is a flying Prabhas with his aid, a robotic- AI-driven car/confidante who also turns into a giant robot, sports car, and spaceship at Prabhas' will.

Prabhas and Deepika’s Kalki 2898 AD runtime revealed, and it's going to be LONG!

<p>Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone got extra attention at pre-release event of <em>Kalki 2898 AD</em> on Wednesday (June 19). The event was hosted by Rana Daggubati and had the film's leading cast including Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan in attendance.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
At the event, Rana and the lead cast took the stage to discuss the film. After Amitabh, Kamal and Prabhas, Deepika was called on stage to talk about her role in the film which has been helmed by Nag Ashwin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As soon as Deepika got up from the couch, Rana first rushed to help her as she’s pregnant, and so did Prabhas. But Amitabh could be seen asking them to hold off as he wanted to help her on stage.</p>

Later, as Deepika started getting off the stage, Prabhas gave her hand only to be chided by Amitabh Bachchan. Big B was seen pulling him from behind, making fans and media laugh out loud.&nbsp;</p>

<strong>Deepika jokes about her baby bump</strong><br />
<br />
When Rana asked if Deepika decided to stay in character even after finishing the film where she plays a pregnant Sumati (or SUM-80), she joked, “The movie went on for three years, I was like, why not 9 months more.”&nbsp;<br />
<br />
She later also pulled Prabhas’ leg that he was the reason for the way her pregnant stomach looked. She said, “I’m actually like this because of all the food Prabhas fed me. It got to the point where it was a full catering service, not just food from home. He feeds from the heart.”&nbsp;</p>

Talking about the movie, Nag Ashwin revealed that the movie will travel from the time of Mahabharat to 2898 AD. “I just wish definitely that there was more tech to help us make this film, like three-four years back when we were in preproduction. We are creating this new world like I am just looking at this picture right now on the screen, and all these different worlds that we are trying to create, we work with so many different concept artists and giving prompts, obviously, again, in a very personal, one on one sort of way, and try to give references and build this world,” the filmmaker said. Explaining further, Ashwin said, “For example, our film starts in Mahabharat and it ends in 2898. That’s the title of the film, it’s called Kalki 2898 AD. It spans 6,000 years of distance and time. So trying to create worlds that are there here, imagining what it could be like, still keeping it Indian and not make it look like a Blade Runner.” The film has been made at a whooping budget of Rs 600 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film to date.

<p>What's cooking? On Sunday, director Karan Johar announced his new film, but without the title, actor, or any other major details. However, the one thing that the director revealed&nbsp;is that the film is ready and will be gracing the theatre screen&nbsp;soon.<br />
<br />
Starting major guessing game on Instagram, Karan shared a long post that had a bunch of hints, and&nbsp;now it's netizens' job to find out the details about the movie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the post, the acclaimed Bollywood director hinted that the movie had a South Indian superstar who had recently delivered a pan-India hit. The movie also has an actress who has been around in the industry for a while.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/akshay-kumar-boney-kapoor-among-final-four-bidders-for-development-of-noida-film-city-684486">Akshay Kumar, Boney Kapoor among final four bidders for development of Noida Film City</a></p>

<p>The last hint of the movie was&nbsp;that it will mark the debut of a new star who comes from a filmy background, as the director mentioned the word nepotism in the statement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The&nbsp;post reads, ''This is not a film announcement!!!<br />
<br />
But it can be..with your help!! We have been shooting this intriguing film for the past year and kept it under wraps because not revealing key aspects of the movie event to the crew was a decision the debut director took.&nbsp;<br />
So here are the broad hints:<br />
<br />
A) A superstar from the south who has just delivered a pan-India juggernaut.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
B) A massively loved actress who continues to awe us with her emotional energy on celluloid.&nbsp;</p>

<p>C) A legacy debut who is working tirelessly to find his spot in the sunshine of exceptional talent and combatting the obsession with the N word! But keeping his head down and just working!</p>

<p>The film is ready and we will be releasing it soon! Any guesses? If you guess the title and all other details correctly- we would love to invite you to watch a glimpse of the film! With love, Team (Film Title).''</p>

<p>Moreover, when it comes to South Indian actor who is one of the cast members, netizens had plenty of options like Dhanush, who recently starred in <em>Captain Miller</em>, Teja Sajja for<em> HanuMan</em> or even Mohanlal for&nbsp;<em>Guntur Kaaram. </em>But the name that most of Karan's followers took was of&nbsp;South Indian stars Prabhas and Prithviraj&nbsp;Sukumaran, who have recently starred in the blockbuster <em>Salaar.</em></p>

<p>In addition,&nbsp;Kajol's name was the top guess when it came to guessing the actress' name.

What’s coming up? Karan Johar announces new project, asks netizens to guess the cast and movie

<p>After a good commercial run of his latest film <em>Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire</em>, actor Prabhas announced what's up next for him in 2024. Prabhas shared a first-look poster from his next film, which will be a horror entertainer titled The Raja Saab. The film will be directed by&nbsp;Maruthi under the People Media Factory banner. Touted as a pan-Indian film, <em>The Raja Saab </em>will have an ensemble cast and will be released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi. It will be produced by TG Vishwa Prasad, with co-producer Vivek Kuchibotla.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>The Raja Saab</em> has roped in National Award-winning music composer, Thaman S, who is regarded as one of the most prominent and gifted musical talents in Telugu and Tamil cinema. He is&nbsp;best known for his work in the 2020 musical hit <em>Ala Vaikuntapuramulo.</em></p>

<p><em><img alt="Prabhas" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c6645189-f96d-40d5-b424-94c7825242d8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202024-01-15T104931.555.jpg" /></em></p>

He is credited with family films like <em>Prati Roju Pandage, Prema Katha Chitram</em>, and <em>Mahanubhavudu</em>&nbsp;amongst many others. On his association with Prabhas on the new film, Maruthi said, "<em>The Raja Saab</em> stands as one of my most ambitious projects to date. Collaborating with Prabhas and People Media Factory is both an honour and exciting for me as a filmmaker. We are geared up to offer our audiences a grand horror experience. Having Prabhas on board is particularly special as his electrifying screen presence infused with our horror narrative is surely to leave audiences amazed.”</p>

<p>Hombale Films’ <em>Salaar: Part 1: Ceasefire</em> features Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu. Made under the direction of Prashanth Neel, the film was produced by Vijay Kiragandur and is now released in cinemas.</p>

<p>Since its release, the movie has been earning well at the box office.

<p><strong>Salaar: Part 1 Movie Review: Prashanth Neel's film is nowhere near KGF.</strong></p>

<p>In Salaar's review, WION's Pragati Awasthi wrote, ''If the movie is directed by an acclaimed director like Neel, then there is no complaint when it comes to Bhuvan Gowda's cinematography, the grand scale of the movie's production design, stunning camera work, and writing. Although the movie's story might not be striking and may seem juvenile at some points, Neel's direction makes it stand out. Compared to Neel's previous work, KGF, this movie is not as dark, but still high on brutal violence, bloodshed, and action, which is also a drawback at some point.''&nbsp;</p>
