Rajasekhar’s ‘Kalki’ in the Shadow of Prabhas’ Ticket Hype

Prabhas’ stardom seems to be unmatchable, with each film cementing his status as a pan-Indian superstar. Living life king-size, he continues to expand his reputation with every new release. Following the massive advance bookings for his previous film “Salaar,” which laid the foundation for his remarkable comeback, Prabhas is now riding the same wave of success with his upcoming sci-fi project, “Kalki 2898 AD.” The anticipation for this film is soaring, as evidenced by the unreal advance bookings, indicating a potential blockbuster opening with day-one screenings already sold out across numerous theaters.

The excitement surrounding “Kalki 2898 AD” is palpable, reflecting the high expectations of Prabhas’ fans. Despite the niche genre of the film, the advance bookings have surpassed all predictions, setting the stage for a grand debut. Fans’ enthusiasm is so intense that it has occasionally led to amusing incidents. Recently, in Hyderabad, a theater experienced an unusual mix-up when it opened bookings for “Kalki 2898 AD.” Eager fans, in their rush to secure tickets, inadvertently booked seats for an older film titled “Kalki,” released in 2019 and starring Rajasekhar, causing both confusion and hilarity.

This mix-up resulted in a flurry of trolls and frustration among fans, until the ticketing platform Book My Show confirmed it was a technical error, assuring that all bookings were indeed for Prabhas’ “Kalki 2898 AD.” Despite this clarification, the social media frenzy continues, further boosting the film’s buzz and promotional momentum. The incident highlights the fervent anticipation for Prabhas’ films and underscores his unassailable position in the industry, as fans eagerly await what promises to be another monumental success in his illustrious career.
