MUMBAI: The 5th hero from the upcoming sci-fi epic movie ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ will be unveiled at Hyderabad during the trailer launch event on May 22.

The makers of the film earlier introduced veteran Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s character as Ashwatthama through a monumental projection at Nemawar, Narmada Ghat in Madhya Pradesh.

The selection of Nemawar and Narmada Ghat for this occasion holds great significance as it is believed that Ashwatthama still walks the grounds of Narmada.

The film features an ensemble star cast which also includes Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani in key roles.

‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies.

The multilingual, mythology-inspired sci-fi film set in the future, will debut in theatres on June 27, 2024.
