My Rating: 1/2#KALKI2898AD #Prabhas
As a Shahrukh fan, I can say that #kalki2898ad is sure shot #BlockBuster, Many goosebumps scenes and everyone will agree that #Nagaswin will be the best for making #Mahabharatha rather than #SSRajamouli, some scenes are speechless #prabhas #KamalHasan #AmitabhBachchan pic.twitter.com/6NJnw4jsl1
