Rana Daggubati got jealous of Ashwin

In an interview with Film Companion, Rana said that he got jealous of Ashwin when he visited the sets of Kalki. He said, “The first time I got jealous seeing somebody was when I went to the sets of Kalki. Growing up, visual effects for me was Star Wars. That’s a film that I just loved watching. Funnilyy, Nagi (Nag Ashwin) also liked watching that film. And very few people get it. Like science fiction and all of it is not very mainstream.”

Rana Daggubati expresses his excitement for Kalki

Rana Daggubati expressed his excitement for the film Kalki 2898 AD, calling it a fantastic project that blends mythology and science fiction. The actor shared, “And when I walked into the set, I was like, ‘Sh*t, he’s making this. Like he’s making everything that I dreamt of.’ And I remember I didn’t talk to him that day. I went back home and I called him and said, ‘Dude, I’m really jealous. I don’t know why.’ And he said, ‘Dude, only when you’re jealous I know I’m doing the right things.’ And it’s a story from mythology into science fiction. I’m very excited about what that film will do. It’s got the biggest star cast. It’s got everything.”

Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Hassan will play prominent roles in the upcoming film. Disha Patani will also play a pivotal role in the film. Kalki 2898 AD, directed by Nag Ashwin, will hit the big screens on January 12, 2024.
