In an interview with Times Now, Nag Ashwin opened up on Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Kalk 2898 AD's chase scene's comparison to Mad Max and said, "It wasn’t a very conscious thing. I definitely love Mad Max, but I would say this particular chase scene in some form or the other was written a while back. But I think it’s also a setting. Like, as soon as you put a truck in a desert, it’s going to look like Mad Max.”
When asked if Mad Max was his primary vision, the filmmaker said, "It is. But it definitely is like our production designer is a very unique talent. Our cameraman is a unique talent.” He further revealed the reason behind postponing the film and said, "It was the VFX. And because there were also multiple languages and there are formats like 3D, IMAX, etc… I think we were rushing till the last minute to deliver the film to distributors. And it was like the amount of VFX, it was very tough."
Helmed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani in key roles. The film also had several cameos of stars like Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, SS Rajamouli, and Mrunal Thakur. The sci-fi dystopian film has already collected Rs 700 crore worldwide at the box office and is continuing its dream run. The filmmaker has also revealed that the film's second part will see more of Kamal Haasan and the fans are excited for it.
