Get ready to meet Bujji, the hottest new wheels – and robot sidekick – to hit the Indian film scene! This custom-made vehicle from Nag Ashwin’s upcoming sci-fi extravaganza, Kalki 2898 AD, recently made its grand debut in Hyderabad.
Bujji, voiced by Keerthy Suresh, isn’t your ordinary car. This high-tech marvel boasts a personality as unique as its design, serving as Prabhas’ loyal companion and a critical element in the film’s plot. Vyjayanthi Movies, the film’s producers, pulled out all the stops for Bujji’s unveiling, hosting a star-studded event for a select audience. The highlight? A nearly one-minute teaser showcasing Bujji in all its glory.
Just a few days prior, Prabhas himself had shared a playful video. It featured Bujji, the robot, growing impatient as the Kalki 2898 AD team meticulously built its ‘body’ – the sleek, futuristic car. The wait is finally over, and fans were ecstatic to see Bujji come to life at the official unveiling. A massive arena provided the perfect backdrop for showcasing this groundbreaking vehicle. Although the event started a tad behind schedule, Prabhas’ presence sent a wave of excitement through the crowd.
Taking the stage, Prabhas expressed his heartfelt gratitude to director Nag Ashwin for crafting such a visionary project. He went on to thank the audience for their unwavering support over the years and acknowledged his privilege of working with industry titans like Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani.
At the event, Nag publicly thanked Anand Mahindra and the entire team who tirelessly worked on Bujji’s creation. They revealed that the remarkable vehicle took four years to complete, a testament to the dedication and innovation involved.
Kalki 2898 AD, shrouded in secrecy, promises an epic sci-fi adventure. While plot details remain a mystery, fans were recently treated to the revelation that Amitabh Bachchan will portray the enigmatic Aswathama. Scheduled for a multi-lingual theatrical release on June 27, the film’s promotional materials hint at a dystopian future where a valiant hero emerges to save the world.
