Releasing Prabhas’ return to the franchise as the bounty hunter Bhairava, Ashwin wished him a happy birthday .
On Prabhas’ birthday, the team of Kalki 2898 AD posted a video to commemorate the actor. Kalki 2898 AD is set in a dystopian future in which resources are pooled by the Supreme Yaskin while the rest of the world suffers. Ashwatthama protects SUM-80, believing her unborn child to be the future avatar of Kalki.
“To the superhero of Indian Cinema…Happy Birthday to the Darling of every generation, Rebel Star #Prabhas. We are excited to embark on another epic cinematic journey with you…#Kalki2898AD,” read the caption. A utopia named Shambhala tries to fight against this, believing that the birth of a saviour will soon save the day. The film ends with a major reveal: Bhairava is Karna reincarnated. The sequel will pick up where the first part left off.
