Nag Ashwin Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Process of Making Kalki 2898 AD Prelude
Nag Ashwin, the visionary director, unveils the process behind the making of the highly anticipated Project K, now known as Kalki 2898 AD. The first chapter of this epic saga has just been released, offering a glimpse into a world that intertwines ancient Indian mythology with futuristic storytelling.
Nag Ashwin delves deep into the origins of the project, explaining how the rich tapestry of Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana inspired the creation of Kalki 2898 AD. These timeless tales, deeply embedded in Indian culture, often raise the question of why India’s own mythological heroes haven’t been as prominent as Western comic book icons like Spider-Man or Star Wars.
Ashwin highlights the concept of Yugas—four distinct ages in Indian mythology, each marked by epic battles between good and evil. The last of these, the Mahabharata, ended with the great war of Kurukshetra. However, Ashwin proposes a new chapter: the final age, the Kali Yuga, where the ultimate battle unfolds.
The director describes the intricate process of writing a sequel to the Mahabharata, envisioning how ancient heroes would exist in the modern age. This endeavor, aimed at a global audience, blends contemporary sensibilities with age-old mythological narratives. Ashwin emphasizes that this epic journey is not confined to one country but is meant to resonate worldwide.
After five years of development, the first chapter of Kalki 2898 AD is ready to be unveiled. Ashwin’s meticulous attention to detail and deep respect for the source material promise a cinematic experience that bridges the past and the future, capturing the imagination of audiences across the globe.
