Rajasekhar’s ‘Kalki’ fills up as Prabhas fans confuse it with ‘Kalki 2898 AD’

Telugu actor Dr. Rajasekhar’s 2019 film ‘Kalki’ unexpectedly came back into the limelight for a rather fun reason. Recently, several screenings of ‘Kalki’ were shut out after Prabhas’ fans mistakenly bought tickets thinking they were for his upcoming film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The confusion occurred on a ticketing platform, which was wrongly listing shows of the Rajasekhar film instead of the much-awaited Prabhas starrer.

Prabhas’ fans, eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, flooded the platform to secure their seats. However, they were surprised to find tickets for Rajasekhar’s oldest film. The confusion led to nearly 20 shows of Rajasekhar’s ‘Kalki’ being sold out, much to the actor’s own amusement.

Rajasekhar took to social media and addressed the situation with humor. He clarified that he had no connection with the mix-up, but extended his best wishes to Prabhas, director Nag Ashwin and the entire team of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. He expressed his hope that the film would make history and move the film industry forward.

Fans quickly took to social media to express their confusion and amusement at the situation. One user lamented their mistaken booking, while another urged the ticketing platform to correct the error and assign the shows to the correct movie. The platform has since assured fans that the tickets will be transferred to Prabhas’ ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.

The confusion highlights the immense hype surrounding ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, directed by Nag Ashwin. This sci-fi action film features a star-studded cast, including Prabhas, Depepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani in the lead roles. The film also has a talented supporting cast, including Rajendra Prasad, Shobhana, Saswata Chatterjee, Brahmanandam, Pasupathy, Anna Ben and Malvika Nair.

The film promises to be a stunning visual experience, combining science fiction with action and inspired by Hindu mythology, and will be released this week on June 27.
