 "Amid Jigra failure, Alia Bhatt in talks with Kalki 2898 AD director Nag Ashwin for a pan-India film, netizen says “Karan Johar gave the script to Alia without…”")
Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Karan Johar, which starred Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, failed to leave a mark at the box-office and was also drowned in negativity and vicious trolling. Bala has now deactivated his X account amid the noise and chaos.
Alia on the other hand has Alpha and Love And War coming up. And as per a report by Midday, she is also in advanced talks to come on board for Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. A source said, “Ashwin has crafted a script focused on a powerful female lead - a character that demands emotional intensity and depth which is tailor-made for Alia.“
It added, “While the storyline remains a closely guarded secret, the narrative would tackle themes of personal resilience and empowerment in a unique, contemporary setting.”
Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD is about Lord Vishnu. It’s a mix of mythology and sci-fi. It’s quite a starry movie with a line-up which includes Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Dulquer Salmaan. A kind of film which audiences will wait to watch in theatres for its brilliant international standard VFX. Set in dystopian world, undoubtedly, the film is a visual extravaganza.
Fans are awaiting the release of part two but a source told Bollywood Hungama why Deepikamay not feature in the same. “The sequel was planned anyhow, no matter what the fate of Kalki. Now that it has proven to be a money spinner beyond anything, the producers expected, the sequel is being expedited.”
“But now with the clamour for the sequel growing with the mounting success of the first film, the producers may decide to replace Deepika in the sequel,” it added.
