The Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone-starrer Kalki 2898 AD earned a staggering 653.21 crore at the Indian box office. With much fanfare, the Nag Ashwin directorial magnum opus was released on the OTT streaming platform Prime Video today (August 22). Now, filmmaker Nag Ashwin has spoken in a recent statement about working with superstar Amitabh Bachchan on the project. For the unversed, Big B portrayed Ashwathamma in the film, and his performance was hailed as stellar by the fans.

Nag Ashwin called Amitabh Bachchan extraordinarily gracious and patient to work with on the sets of Kalki 2898 AD. Ashwin said, “ I think Bachchan sir was, is a legend, and he was extremely gracious in how much patience he had with us as a team and as a very young team actually trying to pull off something that usually somebody from his generation might not be very comfortable, with so much CG, so much green screen, but he was extremely gracious and patient with the whole process, he would come, sit and wait while we figured out. Some stuff took longer than we planned, and his experience, especially in the action parts, I think shows on screen, which is why people enjoy it so much.”
