Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he gave the panel of his upcoming film “Kalki 2898-AD” at the San Diego Comic-Con a miss due to work commitments and medical restrictions.
The first glimpse and title of the sci-fi film, previously called “Project K”, was unveiled on Friday at the Comic-Con in the US in the presence of actors Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, director Nag Ashwin and producer C Aswani Dutt of Vyjayanthi Movies.
Bachchan, who attended the event via a video call, took to his personal blog to share the reason behind his absence.
“Alright .. so .. San Diego and K , the project .. a great moment for the film and the makers and all those that went there for the release of the first look for it .. I was pushed hard by Nagi Sir to come along, but work and medical restrictions have kept me away from many such occasions ..
“So .. but I must admit the first look was pretty darn good .. wasn’t it .. style, music, frames .. everything .. and finally the reveal of K .. KALKI .. mythologically so important .. 2898 AD !!” the 80-year-old wrote on Saturday.
