'Kalki 2898AD' Team Stuck In A Huge Dilemma!

There is a lot of talk going on regarding the release date of Prabhas' magnum opus sci-fi action drama 'Kalki 2898 AD'. Following the 'Jagadekaveerudu Athiloka Sundari' sentiment, they announced that the release date would be 9th May. But the delay in post-production as well as the elections in Telugu states has forced the makers to postpone the release.

The makers are now stressed about finalising a new release date. They are looking at two options which are 30th May and 20th June. There are even thoughts of the movie going to July as well. The situation is not favourable in June as Kamal Haasan and Shankar's 'Indian 2' is planning for a June 13 release. Shankar is busy with his daughter's marriage but he will announce the date officially once he returns.

As Kamal is playing a special role in 'Kalki 2898 AD', the team will not be looking to compete with the legendary actor's much-awaited film. Also, 'Indian 2' blocked this date before which means that 'Kalki 2898 AD' cannot occupy the date now. Things will be more difficult in July as the summer holidays will be over and youth will be busy returning to schools and colleges.

Also, a movie of such a big magnitude needs ticket hikes and it is going to be a huge problem in AP. If TDP and Janasena form the government, it is smooth sailing for 'Kalki 2898 AD' team but things won't work out in the same way if Jagan comes to power once again. He is not keen on increasing the ticket rates and it is well known that producer Ashwini Dutt is a supporter of TDP. Keeping all of this in mind, we need to see how things turn out for this gigantic film directed by Nag Ashwin.
