After watching the first trailer of “Kalki 2898 AD”, it’s clear there will be a Mahabharata episode in the movie, focusing on Aswathama’s backstory and his role in assisting Kalki, the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu, to achieve liberation. Fans are buzzing with various theories and are excited about this.
If Prabhas is portraying Kalki, it suggests he might also play Lord Krishna, both being incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
In the Mahabharata episode, which includes a battle between Arjuna and Ashwathama, Lord Krishna’s role is pivotal as he curses Ashwatthama to suffer with pain and injuries till the end of Kaliyug.
Will we see Prabhas as Lord Krishna? The answer will be revealed on June 27th.
There are also rumors suggesting Natural Star Nani might play Lord Krishna and Vijay Devarakonda as Arjuna in the movie, but these remain unconfirmed. We’ll have to wait for more details in the coming days.
