Why Vijay Deverakonda Didn't Charge a Penny for His 'Kalki 2898 AD', Cameo!
Since its premiere last week, the science-fiction epic 'Kalki 2898 AD', directed by Nag Ashwin, has emerged as a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its futuristic vision of a post-apocalyptic world, set millennia after the legendary Kurukshetra war. The film stars a constellation of renowned actors including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, each delivering memorable performances that have contributed to its immense popularity.
Among the many surprises woven into its narrative tapestry, one of the most intriguing has been the cameo appearance of Vijay Deverakonda as Arjuna, the valiant third Pandava. What sets this cameo apart is not merely its brevity but the actor's decision to forego any remuneration for his role, as reported. This gesture underscores Deverakonda's commitment to the project and his longstanding collaboration with Nag Ashwin, having previously worked together on their debut venture, 'Yevade Subramanyam'.
Critics and audiences alike have lauded Deverakonda's portrayal, which adds a unique layer to the complex relationship depicted between Bhairav (played by Prabhas) and Ashwatthama (portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan) in the film's narrative arc. His presence in 'Kalki 2898 AD' not only enriches the storytelling but also deepens the historical resonances embedded within the cinematic universe crafted by Nag Ashwin.
