Deepika Padukone’s role in the highly anticipated mythological sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD is generating significant buzz. Although she is the leading actress, the specifics of her character remain undisclosed, fueling widespread speculation. The trailer’s release has only intensified the curiosity with numerous social media users debating her potential role.
The film’s narrative spans from the Mahabharata era to the year 2898 AD, drawing from the Hindu concept of Kali Yuga. The star-studded cast includes Prabhas as Bhairava, Amitabh Bachchan as the immortal Ashwatthama, and Kamal Haasan as the primary antagonist. Among the many fan theories, one prominent idea is that Deepika’s character is Sumati, Kalki’s mother. This theory stems from a trailer scene where Ashwatthama mentions a divine child, coupled with a bounty notice referring to a character named SUM-80, which fans believe hints at Sumati. If this theory holds, it suggests that Prabhas might portray dual roles: Bhairava and Kalki.

Another perspective suggests that Bhairava acts as a mentor to Kalki, fitting into the broader narrative of Vishnu’s avatars and their connections to Shiva.
These speculations, while unconfirmed, are contributing significantly to the excitement surrounding the film. They foster discussion and keep the audience eagerly anticipating the release. Despite the numerous theories, the true storyline remains a mystery, adding to the film’s allure.
