Kalki 2898 AD advance booking: high demand crashes booking sites

The upcoming film "Kalki 2898 AD," featuring Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, has sparked a frenzy among fans, causing a crash in the ticket-booking platform BookMyShow in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka due to overwhelming demand.

Scheduled for release on June 27, the film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani.

Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Ashwini Dutt's Vyjayanthi Movies, "Kalki 2898 AD" is a mythological sci-fi epic that gained international recognition when its teaser debuted at Comic-Con in San Diego last year.

Anticipation for the film extends beyond fans to celebrities as well.

Filmmaker Karan Johar recently shared the second trailer on his Instagram, expressing his enthusiasm: “The grandest spectacle of the big screen awaits...packed with powerful and glorious performances by my favourite artists in the industry. I cannot wait for this to be unleashed to all, catch it in theatres near...far...wherever you are, on 27th June!!!!"

Before Johar, renowned director SS Rajamouli also praised the new trailer on Twitter (formerly X), writing, “Power packed trailer it is… It sets the right mood and tone to watch the film FDFS. ‌Amitabh ji, Darling (Prabhas) and Deepika's characters seem to have a lot of depth and are truly intriguing. I am still stuck on Kamal sir's look and how he amazes as always. Nagi (Nag Ashwin)… can't wait to immerse into your world on the 27th!” Rajamouli has previously worked with Prabhas on the Baahubali series.

"Kalki 2898 AD" marks the first on-screen collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Prabhas, adding to the excitement surrounding its release.
