Kalki 2: Not in Near Future At All!

While it was always expected that Kalki would be a huge deal for Prabhas, the film exceeded expectations at the box office and went on to become a Rs 1000 crore grosser. Usually, when there is a 1000 crore grosser at the box office, the director and hero are determined to make the sequel.

But in the case of Kalki, the exact opposite is happening as both Nag Ashwin and Prabhas have started to trek on completely different routes. While Nag is busy with the scripting for the second part which is likely to take another year or two based on his work rate, Prabhas is busy with other films.

Prabhas has Raja Saab which is already in the making while the film with Sandeep Reddy Vanga – Spirit is also in the horizon and is bound to happen in the near future. We then Hanu Raghavapudi’s ongoing Fauzi as well. Prashanth Neel’s Salaar 2 also might happen in the future. By the looks of it, Prabhas’s calendar is completely full for the time being and he doesn’t have many free dates at the moment.

This makes it clear that Nag Ashwin might have to wait for a fair amount of time if he intends to make Kalki 2 with Prabhas. The chances are that he might be vacant for shootings only towards the latter half of 2026 which is rather a fair way away from now.

When Senior Hero Didn’t Have Money For Food!

The film industry is a fragile yet immensely rewarding place for certain individuals. Once prosperous time starts for an actor or an actress, his/her graph will take a remarkable turnaround. Here is one such story involving senior star MohanBabu and his hustle to the top.

In his interaction with MAA members, Mohan Babu rolled back the clock to the time when he was struggling for chances and was not even in a position to secure a meal at times.

“Prior to 1975 March, I was in a treacherous situation with things going firmly against me. This was when I started to seriously search for opportunities. There were indeed days when I didn’t have money to secure a meal, but I never got gutted and kept fighting. I would like to thank the father-figure person for my career, Dasari Narayana Rao garu for making me what I am today” Mohan Babu said on an emotional note.

The fact that a veteran like Mohan Babu commented about not even having food on odd days at the early stages of his career shows the kind of hassle he had to put up with to reach where he is today. These are the kind of inspirational stories that are needed to script historic comebacks and that is what Mohan Babu’s life story offers us.
