Vyjayanthi Movies is celebrating a significant milestone with Kalki 2898 AD being honoured with two National Awards, including the award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, along with recognition for Best Special Effects.
Directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, Kalki 2898 AD emerged from an ambitious vision to create a cinematic world that brought together mythology, science fiction and large-scale storytelling. The film’s National Award recognition acknowledges the collective creativity and craft that went into bringing that vision to life.
Sharing their gratitude, the producers at Vyjayanthi Movies said, “Winning the National Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment for Kalki 2898 AD is an immensely proud moment for all of us at Vyjayanthi Movies. To see a film that began with a bold and ambitious vision receive this recognition is deeply gratifying.
From the very beginning, Nag Ashwin brought a uniquely imaginative vision to the film, and bringing that vision to life was a remarkable collective effort. The dedication, conviction and creativity of our cast and crew made it possible to build a world that audiences could experience and embrace.
To be honoured with two National Awards is a significant milestone for everyone associated with Kalki 2898 AD, and a recognition of the creativity and craft that went into its making.
For Vyjayanthi Movies, this is another cherished chapter in a journey spanning decades — one rooted in the belief that cinema is about dreaming big, taking chances and telling stories that stay with audiences.
We are deeply grateful to the National Awards jury, Nag Ashwin, our cast and crew, and everyone who has been part of this journey. As the next chapter of Kalki takes shape, we look forward to continuing to dream fearlessly and push the boundaries of storytelling.”
The two National Awards add another landmark to the journey of Kalki 2898 AD, which brought together an ensemble led by Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Deepika Padukone, alongside an expansive creative and technical team.
