Dulquer Salmaan Joins Prabhas, Kamal Haasan starrer Kalki 2898 AD?

Prabhas and Deepika Padukone are busy with the shooting of Kalki 2898 AD. Helmed by Nag Ashwin, the makers recently unveiled the title of the film at the San Deigo Comic Con event last month. Now, a new update regarding the cast has been reported. It is speculated that Dulquer Salmaan will be joining the team. 

The Newsmakers

The sci-fi film, which is slated to hit the theatres next year, stars an ensemble cast including Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Disha Patani. Last month, the makers made headlines after they unveiled the teaser of Project K at an event in San Deigo, offering a glimpse inside a dark and dystopian world. In the film, Kamal Haasan will reportedly play the role of an antagonist who will clash with Prabhas and his troop, including Deepika. Meanwhile, Big B will reportedly play the role of Prabhas' guru. Now, it is being said that the makers are planning to add another character to the story who will have a powerful screen appearance.

Who's saying what?

A trade analyst Christopher Kanagaraj took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle on Thursday and revealed that Dulquer has shot for his part in Kalki 2898 AD. In the film, he will reportedly have a cameo appearance. However, the makers are yet to confirm the rumours.
