Kalki 2898 AD Sequel: Alia Bhatt in Talks with Nag Ashwin
Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD was one of the biggest films of 2024, raking in over ₹1000 crores at the global box office, as per the producers. Despite its commercial success, the film faced criticism for Prabhas’ performance and a lackluster plot, leaving a mixed impression on audiences.
What’s Next for Kalki?
Nag Ashwin has confirmed plans for a sequel, but reports suggest the filmmaker is not fully enthusiastic or confident about diving straight into the second installment. Instead, he seems to have shifted his focus to another project, possibly collaborating with Alia Bhatt before resuming work on Kalki’s sequel.
Alia Bhatt’s Collaboration with Nag Ashwin
Alia is reportedly in talks with Nag Ashwin for a film that holds personal significance for the director. If finalized, this project would be completed before the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD begins production in the second half of 2026.
Alia’s Busy Schedule
Currently, Alia is working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, where she’ll share the screen with Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor. The film is expected to wrap up by October. Alongside, Alia has a packed lineup, including:
- Alpha
- Chamunda, Maddock’s horror-comedy
- Love & War
- A potential Nag Ashwin directorial
Nag Ashwin’s Approach
As fans show lukewarm interest in Kalki 2898 AD’s sequel, Nag Ashwin appears keen to explore a meaningful project with Alia first. This strategic move could give him the momentum to craft a stronger sequel while keeping his creative passion alive.
The future of Kalki 2898 AD looks intriguing, with Alia Bhatt potentially joining hands with Nag Ashwin for an exciting venture before the sequel. Fans are eager to see how this collaboration unfolds!
