The highly anticipated trailer launch event for the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, originally scheduled to take place in Mumbai this week, has been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. The decision was made to ensure the safety and convenience of all attendees, cast, and crew.
Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin, is one of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema, with a staggering budget of over ₹600 crores and an advertising spend nearing ₹70 crores. The film promises to blend mythology with cutting-edge technology, and the trailer was expected to offer a glimpse into this visionary world.
Mumbai Event: Aiming for Global Reach
Previous promotional activities for Kalki 2898 AD, such as the unveiling of Bujji (the mobile) and the animated prelude series Bujji & Bhairava, were held in Hyderabad, engaging the Telugu audience. The Mumbai event was strategically planned to capture the Hindi-speaking belt and appeal to a global audience, signifying the film’s ambition to transcend regional boundaries.
Weather Woes
Despite the excitement and meticulous planning, the unpredictable weather in Mumbai led to the cancellation of the event. The city has been experiencing heavy rainfall and stormy conditions, making it challenging to host an event of such magnitude. Safety concerns necessitated this difficult decision.
Trailer Release Update
While the offline event in Mumbai has been cancelled, the trailer for Kalki 2898 AD is still set to be released online at 5 PM tomorrow. There is no confirmation on a rescheduled offline event as of now.
What’s Next?
The cancellation of the Mumbai event is a setback, but the team behind Kalki 2898 AD is exploring alternative ways to ensure the trailer reaches its eager audience. The online release will maintain the momentum and excitement surrounding the film.
