Prabhas Fans Mistakenly Buy Tickets to Rajasekhar's Kalki Instead Of Kalki 2898 AD; 6 Shows Sold Out

Ticket booking for Prabhas’s Kalki 2898 AD opened in Hyderabad, and many theaters sold out within seconds. However, there was a mix-up that confused fans. They found out the tickets they booked were actually for Telugu actor Rajasekhar’s 2019 film, also called Kalki. At the Bramarambha Kukatpally theater, six shows of Rajasekhar’s Kalki were fully booked. Fans were upset and blamed the ticket-booking platform, wondering if the 2019 film’s makers were trying to profit from the buzz around the Prabhas-starrer.

Rajasekhar tweeted to clarify he had no involvement in the goof-up. He wrote on X, “Naaku assalu sammandham ledhu (I don’t have any part in this) Jokes apart… Wishing dear #Prabhas, @nagashwin7, Maa #AshwiniDutt garu @VyjayanthiFilms. The stellar cast and crew all the very very best! May you create history and take the film industry a step ahead #kalki2898ad.”

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas and Kamal Haasan gathered at a star hotel in Mumbai last week for a grand event celebrating Kalki 2898 AD. During the event, Amitabh purchased the first ticket of the film from the producer and presented it as a gift to Kamal Haasan. He invited Kamal Haasan onto the stage and handed over the ticket.

Before calling Kamal Haasan up on stage, Amitabh Bachchan said, “I will give it to my colleague, my dear friend, my brother Kamal Haasan.” Kamal Haasan jokingly said that he wished this had occurred four to five decades ago during the release of Sholay. He reminisced about waiting three weeks to watch the film, which was a blockbuster at the box office. “I waited three weeks to watch it. I never imagined I would be here receiving the first day first show ticket from Mr Amitabh Bachchan. I was a film technician then, and now I am an actor. Nothing has changed,” said Kamal Haasan.
