Nag Ashwin Confirms Kalki 2, Shooting to Begin Soon
In a recent media interaction during the 10th-anniversary celebration of his debut film Yevade Subramanyam, Ashwin revealed that the team is actively preparing for the sequel. While he didn’t disclose too many details, he did mention that the shooting is expected to commence by December 2025.
Additionally, he addressed feedback regarding Prabhas‘ limited screen time in the first installment. Ashwin explained that while ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ focused on world-building and establishing backstories for characters like Sumati and Ashwatthama. Describing the scenario, he said, “The second part will have more of Prabhas, as it will be majorly centered around the Karna and Ashwatthama characters.”
With a record-breaking box office collection of over Rs 1042 crore, Kalki 2898 AD proved to be a cinematic marvel. If the sequel successfully builds upon the foundation of the first film, it could set even bigger benchmarks.

Although the official release date has not been revealed yet, the fans are expecting Kalki 2 to be released sometime between late 2026 and early 2027.
With Nag Ashwin’s direction and Prabhas’ strong screen presence, the sequel might turn out to be a larger hit than its original.
