Ever since the announcement of Prabhas and Nag Ashwin’s Kalki, the audience didnt quite know what to expect from the project. Finally, the director of the film, Nag Ashwin has commented that the film is an amalgamation or a climax of the Indian mythologies.
Nag Ashwin shares how epics like ‘Mahabharata’ and ‘Ramayana’ have deeply influenced Indian culture. He explores the concept of the four yugas and their battles, further highlighting that the film portrays the final battle of the Kalyuga and envisions the dawn of a new era.
Emphasising the film’s climax and its universal appeal, he reveals how he was inspired by Indian mythological tales and Hollywood classics like ‘Star Wars’ to create a narrative that is uniquely Indian yet universal.
The characters from the Puranas of the Hindu community are apparently presented in key roles in this mega budget sci fi mythology.
