When Kalki 2898 AD was released, the music composed by Santhosh Narayanan initially received mixed reactions from a section of audiences. However, as the film progressed through its theatrical run, perceptions gradually changed, with the background score eventually emerging as one of the strongest elements of the film and earning widespread appreciation.
On the occasion of the composer’s birthday, the makers officially extended their wishes and also confirmed that Santhosh Narayanan will be returning to compose music for the sequel. The announcement puts an end to speculation surrounding the film’s music department and reinforces the impact his work had on the first installment. His soundtrack and background score were widely credited for enhancing the film’s emotional and cinematic experience.
Meanwhile, work on the sequel recently commenced in Hyderabad, with Amitabh Bachchan and other members of the cast joining the shoot. Discussions have also intensified around the role of Sumati following reports about Deepika Padukone potentially exiting the project. Rumours suggest that Sai Pallavi is being considered for the role, although the makers are yet to make any official announcement.
At present, Prabhas is busy shooting for Spirit, but he is expected to join the sets of the Kalki sequel soon. Director Nag Ashwin is said to be highly confident about the next chapter, with the team reportedly targeting a 2027 release.
