Sporting his typical laid-back airport look, the Baahubali star wore black pants paired with an oversized sweatshirt and a beanie while covering his face with a mask ensuring safety. During his time in the US, Prabhas reportedly enjoyed a vacation after the release of Adipurush and also underwent physiotherapy to address a knee problem.

The first glimpse video of Kalki 2898 AD was unveiled at midnight on Friday, promising an unparalleled cinematic experience. The film ventures into uncharted territory in Indian cinema with its Indian mythological sci-fi theme. In a brief interview, Prabhas revealed insights about his character in the movie, describing him as a superhero with a humorous twist. He appreciated Nagi's creative approach in designing the character and expressed that he is the sole comedian in the film, which is otherwise packed with strong emotions.
Directed by Nag Ashwin, known for his work on the 2018 film Mahanati, based on the life of legendary actor Savitri, Kalki stars Prabhas and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.
