National Award-winning director Nag Ashwin is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated sci-fi epic, Kalki 2898 AD. In collaboration with the Mahindra Group, Ashwin’s team has created an AI-powered electric vehicle named Bujji, which plays a significant role in the film. This engineering marvel, hailed as a “6-ton beast,” has been the centerpiece of a nationwide promotional campaign.
Nag Ashwin recently extended a public invitation to Tesla’s visionary CEO, Elon Musk, via social media. “Dear @elonmusk sir… We would love to invite you to see and drive our #Bujji… it’s a 6-ton beast, fully #madeinindia Fully Electric & an engineering feat. And I daresay it’ll make for a great photo-op with your Cybertruck (would be a sight to see them drive together),” Ashwin tweeted. The invitation highlights the innovation and craftsmanship behind Bujji, drawing parallels with Musk’s own groundbreaking work in electric vehicles.
Kalki 2898 AD boasts a star-studded cast, including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan. Produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, the film is set to premiere worldwide on June 27th.
