Is Yaskin a version of Kali? 'Kalki' production designer reveals
The Tollywood sensation, Kalki 2898 AD, helmed by Nag Ashwin and starring pan-Indian icon Prabhas, has emerged as the third film in the industry to gross over ₹1000 crore. The film continues to enjoy a successful stint at the box office. While the movie basks in unprecedented glory, its production designer Nitin Zihani Choudhary has divulged intriguing details about Kamal Haasan's character, sparking considerable interest in the sequel.
Yaskin is actually a 'fallen god'
Choudhary clarified details about Supreme Yaskin, a character who appears in select scenes in Kalki 2898 AD, yet has a crucial role in the story. Per Choudhary, contrary to prior speculation, Yaskin is not the mighty mythological figure Kali. Instead, he is one of the fallen gods assigned with overseeing a Complex in Kaasi, which is ruled by Yaskin. In the film, he is challenged by Ashwatthama, portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan.
