'Kalki 2898 AD' is an epic dystopian science fiction action film written and directed by Nag Ashwin. Produced by C Aswani Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies, it was primarily shot in Telugu, with certain scenes re-shot in Hindi.

Inspired by Hindu scriptures, the film is set in a post-apocalyptic world in the year 2898 AD. It features Prabhas in the lead role alongside an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, and Brahmanandam in prominent roles.

Prabhas is returning after the success of Prashanth Neel-directed blockbuster 'Saaho'.
