1 year of Kalki 2898 AD: Inside the world of the Prabhas starrer – The making of India’s most ambitious sci-fi film

Image
One year ago, Kalki 2898 AD took Indian cinema to a whole new dimension — both literally and metaphorically. Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, the magnum opus broke not just box office records but also every creative convention we’ve seen in Indian filmmaking. As the film completes a year since its release, we look back at how this monumental sci-fi epic was brought to life — with a mix of vision, innovation, and absolute madness. Building a Future Never Seen Before When Nag Ashwin set out to create Kalki 2898 AD , he wasn’t just making a film — he was creating an entire universe. From the decaying post-apocalyptic Kashi to the high-tech dystopian Complex and the mysterious world of Shambhala, each set was imagined in detail from scratch. Every inch of the set was constructed to reflect a world 800 years into the future, yet rooted in mythology. Helming the production design was Nitin Zihani Choudhary, who ensured that every location felt immersive and beli...

In a new interview, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actress revealed her personal secret to a lasting and happy relationship with her husband, actor Ajay Devgn.

In a conversation with Zoom, Munawar referred to Salman Khan as a “visionary.” He explained, “When Bhai explains something, and whenever you see him on TV or elsewhere, you hear so many people praising him. The reason you hear so much praise is because the people around him, those who live or work closely with him, respect him a lot.” Munawar went on to say, “That’s because when Bhai speaks, there’s a lot of knowledge you can pick up from his words.

EXCLUSIVE: No cuts, no ‘A’ rating – Kajol-starrer Maa is a RARE horror film to be awarded with a U/A certificate

Image
After a fantastic last week for Bollywood thanks to the Aamir Khan-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par, the trade and industry now gears up for another exciting film, Maa . The trailer of the film caught attention due to the casting of Kajol, the horror genre, and the subject. The only concern was that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) might ask for several cuts and even after doing so, they might award an ‘A’ certificate to the film. But with this film, the CBFC has given a pleasant surprise to one and all. As per the cut list, the CBFC has passed the film without a single audio or visual cut. A source told Bollywood Hungama , “With CBFC, one can never know. In Sitaare Zameen Par , the members asked for Michael Jackson to be replaced by ‘lovebirds’ and ‘Business Woman’ was changed to ‘Business Person’. That and the insistence on adding a quote from the Prime Minister led to a storm. Hence, the fear was that when a clean film like Sitaare Zameen Par gets such cuts, what would h...
