The glimpse shows a war-torn world in the dystopian era ruled by dark forces. People of the city are being oppressed and some are shown captive. Then the video shows the line, "When the world is taken over by darkness, a force will arise. The end begins now.” First, Deepika's character is shown as a spy agent in the army and then Prabhas is revealed as the brave hero arising from the darkness to save the world.
The glimpse also shows other characters from the film with one even asking 'What is Project K' by which the title of the film is revealed
The 'Project K' team has been in San Diego for the San Diego Comic-Con 2023. At the Comic-Con, artists dressed as raiders were present in the Hall H, where the glimpse reveal took place. A comic strip that teased the story of 'Kalki 2898 AD' was also launched at the event. 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan and actor Prabhas also clicked a picture together at the event.
