PRODUCTION:
Following the 2018 biographical film Mahanati, director Nag
Ashwin stated in August 2019 that he has been working on an original story and
screenplay for a long time which would go on floors soon. The same month,
Vyjayanthi Movies revealed their plans to begin Ashwin's film in September that
year and invited visual artists, designers and writers to join the production.
Vyjayanthi Movies officially announced in February 2020 that
their next film with Ashwin would star Prabhas. It is intended to mark 50 years
since the establishment of their studio.The film is produced by Ashwin's
father-in-law C. Aswani Dutt.
CASTING:
Kalki 2898-A.D marks Hindi film actress Deepika Padukone's
debut in Telugu cinema.
In July 2020, Hindi film actress Deepika Padukone was signed
to play the lead role opposite Prabhas. Padukone felt that she was "beyond
thrilled" to join the production while Ashwin stated that her character
would be "surprise" as it was something which "no mainstream
lead has [ever] done before". The film marks Padukone's debut in Telugu
cinema. Bollywood Hungama reported that her role was initially "not
substantial" but was improved to suit her stardom. In October, Amitabh
Bachchan was cast in a full-length role in the film. Ashwin stated that his
role was "so important that his character's name was the working title of
an early draft". The film would be Bachchan's first full-length role in a
Telugu film, following his cameo appearances in Manam (2014) and Sye Raa
Narasimha Reddy (2019).
In May 2022, Disha Patani joined the cast, marking her
return to Telugu cinema after Loafer (2015).In June 2023, Kamal Haasan joined
the cast, marking his return to Telugu and Hindi cinema.
Pre-production
The film was recognised as "Project K" which
served as the working title of the film. Ashwin stated that the film needed
high-end technology and futuristic vehicles to be developed for the film. While
they can be recreated using computer-generated imagery (CGI), Ashwin wanted
them to feel "authentic and genuine", therefore opted to build these
vehicles from scratch with a dedicated team of engineers. In March 2022, Ashwin
requested businessman Anand Mahindra to provide technical support to build such
type of vehicles.
A few days later, Mahindra responded that their company
Mahindra & Mahindra would assist the production team from their Mahindra
Research Valley campus in Chennai. In July 2021, the makers have erected a
futuristic set at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad where a significant portion of
filming is expected to take place.
In August 2020, A. R. Rahman was initially approached to
compose music for the film. Rahman did not sign the film, and Ashwin retained
technicians from his earlier film Mahanati (2018), namely, composer Mickey J.
Meyer and cinematographer Dani Sanchez-Lopez. But later, Serbian
cinematographer, Djordje Stojiljkovic, replaced Dani Sanchez-Lopez as the
official cinematographer of the film. In February 2023, Dutt stated in an
interview that Santhosh Narayanan replaced Meyer as the composer, along with a
female Bollywood composer composing a song for the film.Singeetam Srinivasa Rao
joined the project to serve as a mentor.
Kalki 2898 AD is estimated to be mounted at a budget of ₹600
crore (US$75 million), making it the most expensive Indian film ever made.
