Director Nag Ashwin has confirmed that work on the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD has begun, with some portions already filmed during the production of the first part.
The sequel is expected to take less time to complete and release than the first, as the film took about five years to develop due to the groundbreaking visual effects required to bring its planet to life.
The film, released in June, starred Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Kamal Hassan in leading roles.
Ashwin emphasized that the choice and approach to the film did not lead to overt caution, as the Mahabharata inspired the plot.
He felt it was the right time to tell the story to the Indian audience, who embrace stories like Marvel and Star Wars.
Ashwin believes that the second episode will continue the story and that the Indian audience is vast and embraces stories like Marvel and Star Wars.
