Director Nag Ashwin appears to be planning a major expansion of the Kalki 2898 AD universe. According to the latest industry buzz, two standalone web series are being developed to explore key characters introduced in the blockbuster sci-fi epic.
One of the reported series will reportedly revolve around Dulquer Salmaan’s mysterious character, whose brief appearance in Kalki 2898 AD left audiences with more questions than answers. Despite limited screen time, the actor’s role generated considerable curiosity, with many expecting him to play a significant part in the franchise’s future.
The second web series is said to focus on Sumati’s journey. Reports suggest her story will become even more crucial as the narrative progresses towards Kalki Part 2. The series is expected to delve deeper into her past, offering fresh insights that could strengthen the emotional and narrative foundation of the sequel.
Interestingly, these projects are reportedly not being conceived as standalone spin-offs. Instead, they are expected to function as narrative bridges, connecting the events of Kalki 2898 AD with those of the upcoming sequel while filling in important story gaps.
If the reports turn out to be true, the Kalki franchise could evolve into one of India’s first fully interconnected cinematic universes, where films and streaming series complement each other to tell a larger story. Such a strategy would mark a significant step in franchise storytelling in Indian cinema and further cement Nag Ashwin’s ambitious vision for the Kalki universe.
An official announcement on the proposed web series is, however, still awaited.
