Kalki 2898 AD’s latest trailer dropped, and it’s a treasure trove of hints about the film’s plot and characters. Here’s a breakdown of 5 key revelations: Kalki 2898 AD: Decoded Secrets
Trailer
The trailer opens with Ashwatthama (Amitabh Bachchan) seemingly addressing SUM-80 (Deepika Padukone).
1. SUM-80 Carries the Hope of Humanity
His cryptic words suggest her unborn child is Kalki, the prophesied savior destined to end the current destructive age. The accompanying song further strengthens this theory.
2. ashwatthama’s Redemption Arc
Ashwatthama appears remorseful, vowing to protect SUM-80 and her child. He even clashes with Bhairava (Prabhas), a bounty hunter motivated solely by the reward on her head. One scene mirrors a past war where Ashwatthama finds himself in a similar situation, hinting at his desire to atone for past sins. A glimpse of Uttara’s (Malvika Nair) child being killed by the Brahmastra reinforces this connection.
3. The Unequal Fight: Ashwatthama vs. Bhairava
The trailer showcases Ashwatthama’s immense size compared to Bhairava. He effortlessly throws people around, a fantastical element made believable within the film’s universe. Despite seeking the bounty, Bhairava seems to require unconventional tactics. We see him using special boots for a physical advantage, and the trailer ends with him piloting a massive mecha, possibly an upgraded version of BU-JZ-1 (Bujji), to even the odds.
4. Supreme Yaskin: A Sage with a Dark Secret
During promotions, Kamal Haasan described his character, Supreme Yaskin, as “almost sage-like” with a warped ideology. The trailer confirms this. Yaskin appears frail and dependent on technology, yet his words reek of arrogance: “Despite endless opportunities, man fails to redeem himself.”
5. Bodily Autonomy Under Threat
Despite his seemingly wise demeanor, Yaskin appears to be forcibly impregnating women at a mysterious facility called the Complex. One disturbing scene shows a woman screaming in pain as a device invades her abdomen. SUM-80 and other women watch in horror, suggesting this might be her past too. Perhaps escaping the Complex and seeking refuge in Shambala, a haven for rebels and refugees, is her only hope.
