After Kalki 2898 AD was declared a blockbuster, the film’s director Nag Ashwin had a lengthy interaction with the media on the sets of the film. Kalki 2898 AD received a mixed response and there was a lot of criticism about the film’s length and Prabhas’ screen time. When asked about this, Nag Ashwin responded positively in his own style.
“I have taken a lot of time to take the audience into the world of Kalki and the audience has also taken their time to understand the visuals and the world of Kalki 2898 AD. With a number of important roles in the film, we had to take more time and the second part of Kalki 2898 AD will not have any such world-building episodes. All the characters will speak louder and Prabhas will have a longer screen time in the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD,” said Nag Ashwin.
On the poor reception of the songs, Nag Ashwin said, “We will be especially careful with the music in the second part.” Nag Ashwin was very positive in response to some critical questions from the media and responded in his own style. He concluded by saying that he would rectify all his mistakes for the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD.
