Kalki 2898 AD, the epic sci-fi film helmed by Nag Ashwin, has been adored by moviegoers. The film starring Prabhas has garnered significant attention due to unexpected cameo appearances. Fans are bringing up exciting theories about the characters of Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer, and Kamal Haasan. Dulquer Salmaan, the renowned Malayalam actor, made a guest appearance as Captain, the foster father of the protagonist Bhairava, portrayed by Prabhas. The production team of Kalki 2898 AD recently unveiled Dulquer’s character poster from the movie. Meanwhile, various fan theories regarding the character of Captain, played by the actor, are circulating on social media. For those who have not seen Kalki yet, please be aware that there are spoilers in the following content. Please proceed with caution.
Dulquer Salmaan made a cameo in Kalki 2898 AD as the foster father of Bhairava, the main character. Referred to as Captain by those around him, he takes in Bhairava as a baby after finding him alone on a battlefield. Captain mentors Bhairava, shaping him into a skilled warrior and bounty hunter, while also instilling a strong interest in Supreme Yaskin’s Complex. Their paths diverge following a betrayal, leaving Captain’s destiny uncertain. After drawing comparisons between Prabhas’ character Bhairava and Karna (the legendary warrior of Mahabharat) in the final scenes, online users are preoccupied with devising intriguing hypotheses about his adoptive father, Captain. A small number of movie enthusiasts believe that Dulquer Salmaan’s part in the Nag Ashwin directed film was not merely a brief appearance, but rather a recurring role that could make a hopeful comeback in future sequels.
The fans are now speculating that, similar to Bhairava being seen as a reincarnation of Karna, Dulquer Salmaan’s character in Captain could have connections to an epic figure. Some suggest that he may actually be the revered warrior sage, Immortal Parasurama, known as the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. They argue that this could explain why he took Bhairava under his guidance and trained him until he demonstrated his skills. On the other hand, there are those who think that Dulquer Salmaan’s character is inspired by Adhiratha, the charioteer who raised Karna after he was abandoned by his biological mother, Kunti. There are also speculations that Supreme Yaskin, played by Kamal Haasan, will also have a connection with the Epic Mahabharat.
