The wait for the highly anticipated sci-fi extravaganza “Kalki 2898 AD” is nearly over, with the film’s trailer set to drop in just three days. To further stoke the flames of excitement, a brand-new poster featuring the legendary Amitabh Bachchan as the enigmatic Ashwatthama has been unveiled on social media platforms.
The poster depicts Bachchan in a battle-ready stance, wielding his celestial Astra (weapon) and adorned with a divine gem on his forehead. He stands amidst a battlefield strewn with fallen warriors, with a colossal vehicle looming behind him. The accompanying caption succinctly teases the trailer’s imminent arrival, declaring, “His wait is ending… 3 days to go for #Kalki2898AD Trailer, Out on June 10th.”
Bachchan’s portrayal of Ashwatthama has garnered immense interest, further amplified by a unique promotional strategy.

This innovative approach adds another layer of intrigue to the character and the film’s narrative.
