Director Nag Ashwin recently opened up about Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 in an interview with India Today.
He said: “We’re starting the shoot regularly from next month and, hopefully, it should be done with the shoot by mid next year. I think it’s the long journey of making the film from a blank piece of paper to what it turned out on screen on the first day of release. And the fact that it connected with the whole country and so many parts of the world, I think it’s the journey that first comes to mind.”
