Ashwini Dutt Picks Lucky Date for Prabhas's Kalki
Deccan ChronicleAfter the super success of Salaar, the makers of Prabhas’ upcoming films are full of confidence again. When we asked Dutt about the significance of the date, he said, “From the iconic Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari to the award-winning Mahanati and Maharshi, this date has etched itself in our history. Now, the release of Kalki 2898 AD featuring artistes like Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone marks a special moment for us. And coming as it does in the banner’s milestone 50th year, it becomes even more significant as we continue our journey.” Reminding us that the success of the earlier films made the date very special, he said, “We are hoping that Kalki will recreate the magic.” Dutt added that it was a decision taken by the entire unit to release the film on that date. The fact that no other big film releases are scheduled around that time is an extra plus, particularly as it is becoming increasingly rare for a big ticket flick to enjoy a release sans competition So, on the whole, Kalki’s makers seem to have picked the release date mindfully.
