Kalki 2898 AD’s Plot and Characters
Kalki 2898 AD takes place in a dystopian future and centers around Bhairava, a bounty hunter who dreams of earning enough units to live in the luxurious Complex, governed by Kamal Haasan’s character, Supreme Yaskin. Bhairava’s journey is accompanied by an AI droid named BU-JZ-1, or Bujji, voiced by Keerthy Suresh. The plot thickens when Bhairava encounters SU-M80 (Sumathi), a pregnant test subject, and Amitabh Bachchan’s character, Ashwatthama.
The film ends on a gripping cliffhanger, setting the stage for a sequel. It hints at deeper revelations about Prabhas’ character, who is suggested to be a reincarnation of the mythical warrior Karna, and Kamal Haasan’s Yaskin, who might represent a darker side of Krishna.
