Kamal Haasan’s last dialogue from Kalki 2898 AD:
Kamal Haasan is known for his versatility, fitting seamlessly into any role, whether it be a hero, villain, comedian or character artist. Recently, he left a lasting impact in the movie Kalki 2898 AD despite Prabhas playing the lead role. Kamal Haasan’s portrayal of Supreme Yaskin particularly his climactic dialogu resonated deeply with the audience.
In the climax, Kamal delivers a powerful line: “Jagannatha Ratha Chakralu Vastunayi..” This dialogue spoken in Kamal’s distinctive voice, electrified the theaters. It showcased the significant role Kamal’s character played in the cinematic universe of “Kalki 2898 AD.” What’s interesting is that this dialogue has originated from the legendary poet Srisri’s pen it’s from his poem Mahaprasthanam and was delivered with such intensity that it captivated the audience. Remarkably, Kamal had recited this very line in another film 44 years ago.
In 1980, Kamal starred in “Akali Rajyam,” directed by the legendary K. Balachander. In this movie, Kamal played a fan of Srisri. Regardless of the circumstances—love, hardship, loss, hunger or depression—the hero would recite Srisri’s poetry. At one point in the movie, Kamal’s character passionately says, Jagannatha Ratha Chakralu Vastunayi…” Hearing Kamal deliver this dialogue in “Kalki 2898 AD” brought back the same powerful emotions experienced four decades ago.
