The teaser of the much-awaited sci-fi movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' was unveiled amid a grand show at San Diego Comic-Con. The film, which stars Prabhas along with Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in key roles, is helmed and written by Nag Ashwin.
Post the first glimpse, the makers sat down for a panel discussion, and followed it up with a conversation with the fans about the film.
During the Q&A section at the San Diego Comic-Con, Prabhas was asked if he had "blue screen fatigue", to which he said that he is bored of doing VFX-heavy films and working in a CGI environment. Hence, he was visibly happy to see the teaser presented on the big screen. He said, "I got bored of it. It's not real stuff, but then it is real."
