'Kalki 2898 AD' is currently creating tsunami at the box office. The Prabhas-led film is a blend of Hindu epic 'Mahabharata' and science fiction. It mainly revolves around four characters- pregnant woman named Sumathi (Deepika Padukone), who is carrying a child that is the apparently the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu, the immortal Ashwatthama (played by Amitabh Bachchan) who has to protect the unborn child, a villain named Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan), who rules the Complex and Bhairava (Prabhas), a bounty hunter who can do anything to enter the Complex. The movie has received mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences. But actor Mukesh Khanna, who played Bhishma in 'Mahabharat' has criticised the film. Read on to know why.
Mukesh Khanna posted a video on his YouTube channel, where he said he enjoyed 'Kalki 2898 AD' and admired the performances and production values, but found some things problematic. He was offended by the makers' decision to change the mythological elements.
Khanna said, 바카라In the beginning, when Krishna curses Ashwatthama by removing his 바카라mani바카라, this never happened. I want to ask the makers, how could you presume to know more than the Vyas muni, who said that what doesn바카라t exist here cannot exist elsewhere? It wasn바카라t Krishna who removed Ashwatthama바카라s 바카라mani바카라. I바카라ve been reading the Mahabharata since childhood.
He further said, ''There was a big battle between Arjun and Ashwatthama. They were wielding the 바카라Brahmastra바카라, but only Arjun knew how to reverse the attack. Because Ashwatthama couldn바카라t, he decided to fire the Brahmastra towards Abhimanyu바카라s wife. Krishna protected her with Sudarshan chakra for nine months because she was pregnant. The reason I바카라m telling this story in such detail is because I don바카라t understand how Krishna could command Ashwatthama to protect him in the future in Kalki? How can someone as powerful as Krishna ask someone like Ashwatthama to protect him?바카라
The 66-year-old also said that the liberties that have been taken are ''inexcusable''. He questioned, ''We think that South filmmakers have more respect for our traditions, but what happened here?바카라 Khanna also said that the government should set up a special committee to look at the scripts that have mythological connections and pass it before it is made.
'Kalki 2898 AD', directed by Nag Ashwin also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan among others. It has already made over Rs 700 crore worldwide in a week.
