Prabhas on working with Big B, Kamal Haasan: 'Lucky to act with these legends'

During a recent event in Hyderabad, Prabhas expressed his experience of working with legends Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan in 'Kalki 2898 AD.' The film, directed by Nag Ashwin, will release in theatres on June 27.Â

Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan will be seen playing pivotal roles in the multilingual period drama. While sharing his experience, Prabhas said, "I'm thankful to Amitabh sir and Kamal sir as they agreed to be part of 'Kalki 2898 AD', they both have inspired the whole of India. I'm very lucky to act with these two legends."Â

Further, he elaborated and said, "I think Amitabh sir, who hails from North India, has earned a huge fan base in the South and we all should be proud of him. Kamal sir is also a big star. They both have fans all over India."Â

The 44-year-old actor recalled that as a child, he used to dress up like Haasan's characters from his movies. "In my younger days, I fashioned myself on Kamal sir and also tried to get my clothes stitched, like the ones he wore in the 1983 film 'Sagara Sangamam'," he added.Â

At a press conference, Nag Ashwin spoke about why he named the film 'Kalki 2898 AD'. He said, "Our film starts in Mahabharat and ends in 2898 AD. That's the title of the film. It's called 'Kalki 2898 AD'. It spans 6000 years, a sort of distance in time."

In the film, Prabhas will be seen playing the mighty Bhairava. The movie will release in theatres on June 27.Â
