The entire world loved Prabhas' film "Kalki 2898 AD". The film began its second week with a bang.
The Nag Ashwin-directed sci-fi thriller grossed more than 700 crores in its first weekend worldwide.
Mukesh Khanna, best known for his role as Bhishma in the iconic TV series "Mahabharat," has chastised Nag Ashwin for distorting many aspects of the epic for his film.
He emphasized that Lord Krishna never took mani from Ashwatthama. It was Draupadi, he explained.
While praising Nag Ashwin's grand vision and production design, he urged filmmakers not to distort Hindu mythologies for the sake of movie plot.
Further, slamming how Amitabh Bachchan’s character Ashwatthama is shown, the Mahabharat star said, “There was a big battle between Arjun and Ashwatthama. They were wielding the ‘Brahmastra’, but only Arjun knew how to reverse the attack. Because Ashwatthama couldn’t, he decided to fire the Brahmastra towards Abhimanyu’s wife. Krishna protected her for nine months because she was pregnant. The reason I’m telling this story in such detail is because I don’t understand how Krishna could command Ashwatthama to protect him in the future in Kalki? How can someone as powerful as Krishna ask someone like Ashwatthama to protect him?”
Meanwhile, Kalki 2898 AD makers have confirmed the sequel. Amitabh Bachchan will reprise his role as Ashwatthama in it.
