'Kalki 2898 AD': This co-star of Deepika Padukone says 'Her actual child acted in the film, Ranveer Singh was there when...'

Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD is going strong at the box-office. Speaking to ETimes, the director revealed how Deepika Padukone’s actual baby was a part of the film too. “There were two days when her actual child also acted in the movie,” said Ashwin.

Her co-star Saswata Chatterjee, in a separate interview, spilled out more details and said, “Deepika is just ever-smiling. There is a scene in the film where I drag her by the hair. It was part of the last leg of the shoot and was shot in Mumbai because Deepika was pregnant by then. Ranveer came on set wearing an ensemble that was orange from top to bottom – tee, pants and shoes! He radiates such an infectious positive energy – he just can’t stand in one place. There was a lot of physical tussle in the scene, so I told Ranveer, ‘Don’t worry, for more physically challenging scenes, there’s a body double.’ He was so polite and humble. He smiled and said, ‘I know, dada.”

Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone starrer Kalki 2898 ADhas turned out to be a global blockbuster as it entered Rs 700 crore at the worldwide box office.

With this figure, it is now the 13th highest-grossing Indian film at globally. It will today surpass 2.0 (Rs 722 crore) and Salaar (Rs 705 crore) to grab the 11th spot in the list.

Since there are no major releases in this weekend, the  mythological sci-fi  will continue its dominance at the domestic box office.

Directed by Nag Ashwin,  Kalki 2898 AD  is about Lord Vishnu. It’s a mix of mythology and sci-fi. It’s quite a starry movie with a line-up which includes Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, Dulquer Salmaan. A kind of film which audiences will wait to watch in theatres for its brilliant international standard VFX. Set in dystopian world, undoubtedly, the film is a visual extravaganza.
