Kalki 2898 AD sequel shoot resumes on 17 October
The shoot of the Kalki 2898 AD sequel, put on hold due to Prabhas's other commitments including the film Fauzi, is set to resume on 17 October in Hyderabad, according to telugu360.com. A crucial schedule will be filmed, followed by another schedule in Mumbai in November focusing on Amitabh Bachchan's episodes. Kamal Haasan will not join the sets now.
Sai Pallavi has replaced Deepika Padukone in the sequel and has allocated dates for the film, though 123telugu.com reports that an official confirmation from the makers is still awaited. The project, directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by C Ashwini Dutt, is expected to release in 2028. Prabhas is expected to allocate dates in December or early 2027.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Telugu360.com frames the story around production delays, specifically naming Prabhas's commitments and the Fauzi shoot as the cause, while giving concrete schedule details including dates for Hyderabad and Mumbai schedules. 123telugu.com focuses on Sai Pallavi's casting as news, noting the lack of official confirmation. The two outlets differ in emphasis: one foregrounds the production timeline and reasons for delay, the other foregrounds the casting story and fan anticipation. The combined coverage confirms the shoot resumes on 17 October, with Sai Pallavi joining, but the absence of an official announcement on her involvement remains a key open point. The next concrete date is 17 October in Hyderabad.
