“In India, we grew up with epics like ‘Mahabharata’ and ‘Ramayana’, and there is another age to go, and that age is the final battle. When you grow up, you watch a lot of foreign films which are in the comic book space or Marvel, or ‘Spiderman’ or ‘Star Wars’, you always wonder where are our superheroes because they are as heroic and larger than life, as anybody else," said Nag Ashwin.
"The world of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is a sequel to the last epic that we have of these characters of the previous yugas. We still have another age to go, and that age is the final battle, that age is where the end essentially has to begin and everything has to come to a climax, like all of these stories and all of these nine avatars. All these battles that happened, small or big since the creation of time has to end somewhere so we tried to attempt to write that and that’s where the last story of her mythology, sorts of ends," he added.
