Kamal Haasan on his limited screen time in Kalki 2898 AD: ‘My part in the universe has only begun’

Kamal Haasan has finally opened up about the reception Kalki 2898 AD has been receiving in a special press meet in Chennai. The actor is currently busy promoting his upcoming Indian 2, which is set to release on July 12. Amidst his busy schedule, he has made time to watch the film and speak about Kalki 2898 AD. The actor began, "In Kalki, I have played a small role that makes an appearance for a few minutes only. My real part in the film has only begun and I will have more to do in the second part. So, I watched this film as a fan and I was astonished."

Kamal Haasan added, "We have been seeing many signifiers that Indian cinema is moving towards global entertainment, and Kalki 2898 AD is one among them. Nag Ashwin carefully handled the subject of mythology without any religious bias. Across the world, only Japan, China, and Greek civilizations can come close to the Indian heritage of storytelling. Ashwin has chosen stories from that and has executed it with a lot of patience by bringing everyone together."

Kamal praised Amitabh Bachchan's performance in the film and said he doesn't know how to categorize him after the film. "I don't know if I should call him a veteran or a fresh actor. He has done the film that well."

"It looks like the film has been made for children. Now, don't ask how a man with white hair can enjoy such films. This film reminds you of the child that's within every adult. This is a great attempt and I am happy to be part of it. I am happy that this journey is going to continue." he added.

Kamal Haasan, Shankar, and the crew of Indian 2 are next heading to Singapore for the promotion of Indian 2, which marks the return of Senapathy to the silver screen. The actor is also part of Mani Ratnam's upcoming film Thug Life, which will be released in 2025.
