The much-anticipated teaser for Amitabh Bachchan’s character revelation ‘Ashwathhama’ in sci-fi action thriller, ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ is out. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the teaser has significantly heightened anticipation for the film, which is being produced on a grand scale by Ashwini Dutt.
A fleeting moment in the ‘Ashwathhama’ teaser has captured the audience’s attention. Despite its brief appearance, it lead to a widely discussed shot in the teaser. The scene showcases a younger Amitabh Bachchan, a feat achieved through advanced visual effects technology, leaving fans in awe.
His look resembled ‘angry young man’ persona from 1970s Bollywood. This successful digital rejuvenation marks a significant improvement from past attempts at de-aging actors using VFX, which often faced criticism for poor results.
Moreover, the teaser has been lauded for its inventive approach. Nag Ashwin has ingeniously incorporated dialogue in five different languages spoken by children interacting with Bachchan’s character. This creative decision not only showcases linguistic diversity but also cleverly bypasses the need for dubbing into multiple languages.
This Prabhas starrer movie also has Kamal Hassan, Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani and others playing important roles. The release date is yet to be announced.
