The upcoming release of “Kalki 2898 AD” has ignited an unprecedented fervor within the Indian film industry, shattering pre-sales records and generating a global buzz. Starring Prabhas and directed by Nag Ashwin, the sci-fi fantasy film has captivated audiences worldwide, as evidenced by its staggering pre-sales figures.
In North America, “Kalki 2898 AD” has amassed a record-breaking 4 million pre-sales tickets for premieres and opening day screenings. This not only surpasses Prabhas’ previous film “Salaar: The Cease Fire” but also sets a new benchmark for the industry. The film’s international appeal transcends borders, exemplified by its performance in Germany, where it has become the first Telugu film to breach the 64,000 Euro pre-sales mark.
India itself is experiencing a “Kalki Craze,” with pre-sales in the Hindi market alone projected to reach a phenomenal 20 crore on opening day. This overwhelming demand has resulted in a surge in advance bookings, causing ticketing platforms to buckle under the sheer volume of traffic. With releases planned for 2D, 3D, and IMAX formats, industry experts anticipate a robust opening day collection exceeding 100 crore.
“Kalki 2898 AD” has established itself as a box office behemoth even before its release, fueled by the combined forces of Prabhas’ immense star power, the film’s grand vision, and a stellar ensemble cast. This potent combination has captivated audiences globally, setting the stage for a record-breaking opening weekend and a potentially historic box office run.
