Reunion after 40 years

Amitabh Bachchan will be sharing screen space with Kamal Haasan after nearly 40 years.

Last together in 1985

The duos last project together was Giraftar that came back in 1985, which marks 40 years of the reunion.

What about Kalki 2898 AD?

While Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan both featured in Kalki 2898 AD, they shared minimal screen time in the first instalment, with Haasan appearing only briefly. However, the actor is expected to take on a far more prominent role in the sequel, as his character, Supreme Yaskin, returns in full force.

Fun shots

BigB offered fans a glimpse from the sets on his blog, including heartwarming photos of him embracing Kamal Haasan. The images capture the duo sharing a warm hug and engaging in conversation, marking a nostalgic moment decades in the making.

Kalki 2898 AD stars

The first installment starred Prabhas in the lead role and also featured Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan in prominent roles. As Deepika has reportedly opted out of the project, rumors suggest that Sai Pallavi may replace her in the sequel.
