Prabhas returns to Kalki 2 sets on his birthday
The Story in Brief
Prabhas has returned to the sets of the sequel Kalki 2 (working title) and resumed shooting his role as Bhairava, the makers of the Vyjayanthi Movies production announced on Friday, 23 October, his birthday. A behind-the-scenes video posted by the production house on social media shows the star in silhouette and offers a glimpse of a large set built for action sequences.
Directed by Nag Ashwin, the sequel to the 2024 blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD will also star Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan in their respective roles. The makers have not yet revealed a release date but are planning a 2028 release, according to 123telugu.com. They will soon announce the actor who will play the role of Sumati. No other cast or story details have been disclosed, m9.news reports.
Indian Opinion Analysis
123telugu.com leads with the birthday occasion and the silhouette reveal, framing the video as a maker's announcement that shooting has begun, and adds the 2028 release plan and the pending Sumati casting call. m9.news foregrounds the sequel's genre details, Bhairava-Bujji-Karna connection, dystopian world, and the anticipation for Nag Ashwin's narrative, while omitting any release window. The key difference is that 123telugu covers concrete next steps (Sumati casting, 2028 target), whereas m9.news stays on franchise world-building. Neither outlet departs from straight reportage. The balanced reading is that shooting is confirmed but the sequel's release and story remain unannounced, the Sumati role is the next formal detail the makers have said they will share.
