Sai Pallavi Yet To Be Confirmed For Kalki 2; Shoot Likely To Begin In October?
“The makers may make an official announcement about Sai Pallavi in October. Until then, they are expected to proceed with the portions involving the other actors," the source adds.
While speculation continues over Sai Pallavi joining the cast of Kalki 2, the makers are yet to officially confirm her presence in the much-awaited sequel. However, the Nag Ashwin directorial is expected to enter its next phase of production, with the team planning to commence shooting in October.
“Her presence and work are key to the film,” says a source close to the development. “The makers may make an official announcement about Sai Pallavi in October. Until then, they are expected to proceed with the portions involving the other actors,” the source adds.
The world created by Nag Ashwin for Prabhas’ epic sci-fi mythological franchise is set to expand significantly in the sequel. Produced by Ashwini Dutt under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner, Kalki 2 brings back Prabhas, while Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan are also expected to reprise their important roles.
The first instalment, Kalki 2898 AD, emerged as a major commercial success and received widespread appreciation for its ambitious world-building and visual scale. The film also went on to win National Awards, further raising expectations for the sequel.
Given the success of the first part, Nag Ashwin has been taking considerable time to develop the story and expand the fictional universe. The sequel is expected to be mounted on a considerably larger scale, with the filmmaker reportedly planning an extensive production schedule.
Prabhas and the other principal actors are expected to begin shooting their portions from next month. The team is currently aiming to complete the production by mid-2027, setting the stage for one of the most ambitious sequels in Indian cinema.
