Amitabh appeared to have gone to watch the film with just his son. His other family members — Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Aaradhya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Agastya Nanda and Navya Naveli Nanda — were missing in the pictures.
Big B shared the screen with Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan in the Nag Ashwin directorial. The film has already collected an estimate box office collection of Rs 500 crores worldwide in just four days. Fans have praised the superstar’s performance. Previously, Amitabh revealed he was surprised with Nag Ashwin’s vision for the film and him. At a recent press conference for the film’s promotion, Amitabh confessed he was taken aback with the concept of Kalki 2898 AD. “When Nag Ashwin came and explained his idea to me, for the long time after he left I was thinking, ‘what the hell is Nagi drinking?’” Amitabh said, leaving Rana and his other co-stars in splits.
“To see something like this which is absolutely outrageous, some of the visuals that you have seen are unbelievable. To have somebody conceive a project which is so futuristic and possible… and during the making of the film you realise that no matter what he thought of he actually brought all the material, all the effects, every kind of vision that he had to the screen and that’s been really amazing. For me to be just a part of it, has been an experience I’ll never forget,” he added.
