In a recent advertisement for a cricket match, actor Prabhas delighted his fans with a glimpse of his new appearance from the upcoming film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The ad provided a detailed view of his costume, showcasing intricate body armor adorned with symbols to be explained in the Nag Ashwin-directed sci-fi movie.
Unlike previous posters and first-look images, Prabhas sported a long leather trench coat, a metal breastplate, a utility belt, and gloves, complementing his long hair and stubble. Fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons to Prabhas’ earlier role in ‘Baabubai’, noting a reminiscent vibe.
Interestingly, many fans also pointed out striking similarities between Prabhas’ ‘Kalki’ costume and the iconic superhero ‘Batman’. The resemblance to Ben Affleck’s portrayal in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Robert Pattinson’s suit in ‘The Batman’ was noted by enthusiasts.
The excitement further escalated with the release of a new poster featuring Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan. Fans were quick to notice an uncanny resemblance between Deepika’s look in the ‘Kalki’ poster and Zendaya’s appearance in the sci-fi epic ‘Dune’, sparking discussions and speculations.
Despite the comparisons, the overall response among fans remained one of excitement and anticipation for ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The film, also starring Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani, is set to hit theaters on June 26 after facing multiple delays.
