The story of Kalki 2898 AD spans 6000 years after the Kurukshetra War and revolves around the Kalki avatar of Lord Vishnu. Set in three dystopian cities—Kashi, Shambhala, and Complex—the plot follows Bhairava, portrayed by Prabhas, as he attempts to capture Deepika Padukone’s character, while Amitabh Bachchan’s Ashwathama pledges to protect her.
