There was not one person in entire Manchu circle who told them that this trailer looks like Disney cartoon. Papam


PomeloRemarkable209

Now do the same pic replacing prabhas with deepika & disha . That's how I feel about their casting


TailorNo2221

Yeah, they can't hold a candle to Prabhas' charm and acting skills. Especially, Deepika.. Not sure how it will be in the film. Feeling nervous.

the_red_star3306

my guess is balayya would be in the sequel as Kalki (Deepika's child)


triple_hoop

And Sampornesh as brother.


Formal_Progress_2582

Yes, age appropriate role for Balayya to play a young kid.

Prabhas needs to chill out for a year or two. Get his drinking and eating in check and come back to movies. Bahubali 2 was the last time he looked good


boomer_morningstar

>Get his drinking and eating in check Whaatt he has drinking problem? >Bahubali 2 was the last time he looked good Finally someone!!


Necessary_Buy_526

Everyone knows he looked the best in bb2 and after that it was a downhill , but doesn’t change the fact that he can bring back more than 50% of the budget back . Even if i was a producer and invested 600cr i would cast those actors who can bring it back , currently only srk and prabhas has that power and u can consider yash also since its after kgf2 effect


[deleted]

Agreed.... As far as star power goes nobody comes close except big khans and such. But I want bro to relax get his health together. Man looks like he has been stuck in a bad hangover since Bahubali 2. Face asalu baa le. Mirchi Prabhas tho Salaar padi unte nii amma peaks unde di.


Necessary_Buy_526

True , his looks are very difficult to change now as he is already old and has many health issues , we gotta go with what we have thats it


HakeemMcGrady

Bro only die hard Stans really care about the budget and money. Most of us normal fans just want to see a good movie with a coherent storyline. The truth is Prabhas looks he’s a drug addict and doesn’t really have that charm anymore. I would excuse his looks if only he made a good movie (which he hasn’t in half a decade). Still hoping Kalki is good though, fingers crossed


notabot_123

It’s not drinking problem bro. I heard that after BB, he’s had severe heath issues due to steroids to maintain his bulk body. It was supposed to be only for sometime, but in SSR typical fashion, kept delaying. Check out ’Steroid face’. I heard Rana has it even worse.


Comfortable-Ad-1765

Whats he going to do with aging though.. some things cant be controlled.


biryani98

Someone has not watched Salaar


[deleted]

Choosa em baaledu. He needed to rest after Saaho. I want him to go back to at least half of his mirchi looks. Fan ga inka I can't defend him anymore.


OfferWestern

It depends on the body type. Mahesh on the other hand can have same look for next 2 decades


erenyeager2941

Outside relax , 😌 😎 After watching his comments I realized Thambi wants to cast Yash instead of prabhas Yash is a good option but not as good as prabhas, And for manifestation use 369 method 😉(u posted it in ur profile ) https://preview.redd.it/517tyigpva7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee41b1d867c1d4ee757370f589ced53e706ed85b

The movie isn't released yet.....no one watched it yet..... you just came into this conclusion just by watching 3 min trailer...wowww....🤦 Why???why someone should have been casted for that character....?


Ok-Recognition9114

Nobody would bat an eyelid for this sci fi experiment if not for Prabhas.


boomer_morningstar

You know he isn't the only star in the movie ryt?


Ok-Recognition9114

AB has played a v similar role in Ganapath which is a disaster. DP has got only hits with SRK, which ofc all knows how they got em and rest of her films r running flops. KH is not even there on posters and is playing a cameo. Who do u think producers kept their money on?


[deleted]

Prabhas is the only reason this movie happened, the producers themselves said this. Prabhas pulled off 300Cr easily with below avg movies after bahubali, even after these many low performing movies he still has the demand in the market. And No other Pan Indian Star can do an experimental high budget film in the present. You know right, what happened to SRK when he tried to make an experimental film like Zero. So, yeah Prabhas is the only capable person to pull off this. And Prabhas will definitely come back with Kalki 2898 AD as Bhairava. Wait till Release to know if he was the right choice or not.


boomer_morningstar

The current prabhas isn't fit for the role...there will be nothing new about story...the story is well known...It will have good opening...one day is enough to judge a movie...they only thing new here is the star wars stuff have they nailed the vfx unfortunately no...you need budget of atleast 1000cr...can they pull it of in lower budget yes they can by lowering salary for actors will they agree no chance... what's the way?! Having combined producers!! (Don't know if it's possible)...if prabhas really thinks we have to india cinema to next level...he would have lowered the salary...around 200 cr is actors salary within balance 400cr do you really think we can get a decent vfx?!


[deleted]

Wait till release...


chinnu-h3

Hell nah….. prabhas is apt for these kind of roles… as much as you can argue about his acting skills it’s undeniable that he has a great screen presence and most importantly he can pull audience to the screen…. That’s very important than any other thing… it’s a secondary thing that they could gather such a large ensemble….. Swapna and Priyanka said in an interview that because they had prabhas they could green light anything to match the vision Nagi had…. Even prabhas is not appearing dull in this project from whatever was seen in the trailer and the his voice acting was good in b&b series…. Oke point meedha enni rojulu ee discussion, just wait for the film to release then you can criticise

Nothing new about the story bro... There is a supreme leader of some kind...he gets information that a soon to be born child (Deepika's character is the one bearing the child) will be a threat to him...so he hires a bounty hunter which is prabhas and sends after deepika... amithabh mama's character will be protecting the child from the Bounty hunter...when the hero comes to know about the truth he gathers forces (maybe fellow Bounty hunters?? Don't know), fights the kutty villan and wins and the child will be born...aandavar will do a cameo at the end think he is the final boss... 2nd part is prophecy child and everyone vs aandavar if he is the final boss... Avalodha!! The only thing new about this movie is vfx adhuvum they fucked up...


vicky_vishnu22

I don't think, people who are saying he is acting comediac don't know about vintage prabhas, I am not even prabhas fan but I am kinda happy to see vintage prabhas back, I am confident on nag ashwin handling of characters

vicky_vishnu22

Do you really think Indian people have enough brain to watch this type of movie entirely based on story nah, the fanbase for him is soo much that they can make a flop film to average if he is in it, so the directors have hopes on him, even if film don't do well the fandom can recover budget at least, we need see the risk factors here, and also Hollywood did not achieved it in one day they took decades of work and audience support to achieve, it's just the starting phase, Indian audience are immature they worship actors that's why even the directors who wanna upgrade Indian movies need to choose well named actors like prabhas, I think if kalki succeeds it will be the stepping stone for more good films in future, Indian cinema is fricking backward compared to world in terms of quality, and Indian cinema is not catched up not because of bad film makers but because of audience mindset, but still some directors are finding ways to upgrade our cinema even with immature audience, I respect them

The producers who banked crores on him would know better. This role seems to require humour and fierceness both in the same guy and prabhas is perfect for that.

Show me another actor with a larger than life persona. Big movies won't come near Prabhas when movies come near Prabhas they become big


boomer_morningstar

This is Pan Indian film...there are many people capable of doing this...


Ill_Crazy_

Many Pan Indian Films failed because the actors were not able to pull Vikram - didn't do well in Hindi Kurup - didn't do well outside Kerala After KGF Kannada film industry tried going pan India and failed You think people can pull but Prabhas is the only one who is capable currently


boomer_morningstar

The reason am telling why prabhas should be replaced is...there is something off about him...


Ill_Crazy_

Maybe off with you Every actor has something off with them


poopoo-on-a-stick

So you don't appreciate his hardwork but saying he isn't the right cast because apparently there's something 'off' about him that even you can't mention exactly. And you expect him to look exactly the same as he looked a decade earlier? 🤷 Unrealistic standards much?


biryani98

How can there even be a legitimate discussion if you don't say who is that someone else?


Imaginary-Ad5738

The trailer looks so premium, great budget, direction and decent cast but for a reason i feel it’s going to have a poor story.


boomer_morningstar

My guess of what the story will be... There is a supreme leader of some kind...he gets information that a soon to be born child (Deepika's character is the one bearing the child) will be a threat to him...so he hires a bounty hunter which is prabhas and sends after deepika... amithabh mama's character will be protecting the child from the Bounty hunter...when the hero comes to know about the truth he gathers forces (maybe fellow Bounty hunters?? Don't know), fights the kutty villan and wins and the child will be born...aandavar will do a cameo at the end think he is the final boss... 2nd part is prophecy child and everyone vs aandavar if he is the final boss...


LiterarySystem2007

the thing is that only he is the one who can take experimental movies by new or young directors(if you check all his movies from BB2 all of them were made be new directors just1-3 movies old) like kalki cuz no actor would like to gamble with his career. second and more sensible point is that since it is directed and produced by a Telugu family on such a large scale it would only make sense to have a Telugu actor with massive fanbase which is none other than Prabhas


boomer_morningstar

Can't they wait till Prabhas recovery? Man should talk a brake!!


LiterarySystem2007

yeah you are right tho he needs to take a break after rajasaab


zenedarrow

Prabhas is the reason, the movie has some hype despite the marketing team not doing their job. Prabhas as a hero with a hint of comedic timing is something we haven't seen after Mirchi, it's the first time it feels like old Prabhas is back.


fellowtheninth

Who else would bring that level of stardom to this movie? Whether you agree or not, Prabhas is still in the top 3 biggest stars in India right now and his pull is a big factor in the excellent advance opening figures.


boomer_morningstar

Yes Prabhas has the stardom but he isn't the ryt cast...yash would have been better!!


GiraffeThis6777

Hated Yash everytime he opened his mouth in both KGFs, his aura would go negative esp when he tried to be sarcastic, he looked good only when his mouth was shut


boomer_morningstar

Except the overbuild up part i liked it...like the scene when he hits the guard with hammer someone was over hyping him...


Chance_Pop_3743

Nope 👎,prabhas is perfect for these larger than life roles


boomer_morningstar

Nope 👎🏽 there are better stars than him


Chance_Pop_3743

I didn’t say he is the only big actor or better actor ,nobody suits better for these kind of roles other than him.so hell with your opinion


boomer_morningstar

You can cast out of tollywood...afterall this is Pan India film...


Chance_Pop_3743

Sorry,I thought they are doing Telugu film and releasing it all over india by dubbing into other languages


boomer_morningstar

Yes it's pan India


bkman101

This movie wouldn't have been made without prabhas. Also tamils never watch tollywood movies in theaters unless it's like Bahubali, so who even cares about your opinion? The Chennai batch is more toxic than the Mumbai batch and that is saying something.


Varun_0504

Due to Prabhas, producers are investing 600cr and it's not possible to do that with anyother actor right now. And also Bujji is made due to the budget only


boomer_morningstar

Do you agree it's a pan India film?


Varun_0504

Yeah


boomer_morningstar

Srk, hr am purposefully avoiding yash because people are saying am yash fan and prabhas hater...


Varun_0504

The shooting was started from July 2021, Then both SRK and Yash were not that much capable to attracting the Producers to invest in this project


boomer_morningstar

They made a mistake


Varun_0504

RemindMe! 10 days


boomer_morningstar

Haterskahater

they should have casted thalapathy


kan_ying_7

I hope it's sarcasm 😂


zenedarrow

If they had casted Thalapathy, audience should visit Allopathy after watching.


boomer_morningstar

No he won't be good either...yash would have been perfect...


Haterskahater

Why would telugu producer will cast Yash? also Yash won't help them to get good prerelease business in telugu states. Yash won't suit Bhairava like character. He is for serious/macho roles.


boomer_morningstar

>Why would telugu producer will cast Yash? This is a pan India movie ryt?


Haterskahater

So? It's produced by telugu producer so it's obvious they will cast a telugu hero to get better business from AP/TG specially when film budget is 600cr


MASTER_SNAKE__

If prabhas wasn’t there no body would have put in 600cr on this project 🤡


boomer_morningstar

They made a mistake


harryatomix

This is a Telugu director making an ambitious movie, where he wants to utilise the cast in the best way possible. He has to go with Telugu actor for the main role, hell even Rajamouli went with Telugu actors for Bahubali. In Tollywood no one has the pull more than Prabhas and act in such a role, so yeah I disagree with your opinion and Prabhas is the right choice for this movie. No SRK is bad for this role and no I don't think Naga will cast other industry actors as the main lead.


boomer_morningstar

Am talking about current Prabhas...Wouldn't it have been better if prabhas took some break and get well and chose this as a comeback movie?!


harryatomix

Yes, I would also like the same, for Prabhas to take some break and come back. But the producers don't think like that, they want money. And for this role and for the scale of this movie and it being a Telugu movie, there are less options and I think Prabhas is the best option among all. If you think of replacements that are better, drop the names.


boomer_morningstar

>they want money. We want people Passion about cinema not these not money hungry idiots or people using movies for money laundering... >If you think of replacements that are better, drop the names. The main character has to be goofy, charming ryt? Nani is the only one coming to my mind... If it's outside Telugu Hrithik, srk


alan_garrix

Cast is not the issue for me, but the characterization of Bhairava. He's a goofy protagonist in a pan India movie, not sure how that's going to translate and be received by wider audience. Eagerly waiting tho, all hopes on Nagi.


Haterskahater

yeah same. nobody takes goofy protagonist seriously. This was the major reason why I didn't like the Thor: Love and Thunder. They made thor look like a joke. After BB I don't think people will accept him in a goofy roles.


Baronvondorf21

The reason thor love and thunder failed was because they had terrible writing, Thor Ragnarok did quite well despite their house departure in the tone of film.


boomer_morningstar

Likewise they did hulk dirty too...he is a monster...he is supposed to be scary!! The first hulk movie was the only one which did justice...the first transformation scene 🥶🥶...

SeriesSouthern7038

A good movie doesn't have to have a big cast. I agree with OP. Hanuman is the prime example for that. Teja sajja is a relatively unknown actor and the movie raked in profits. Prabhas looks went down terribly and it was very hard to see him in the trailer. Also, his characterization doesn't suit his age. They could have gone with newer actors. I think kalki is going to become a disaster. It has nothing to do with prabhas, but the budget itself is hard to recover.


Crowned-Brute

Well it would be ok if prabhas looked like when he was in bb2


boomer_morningstar

Yes


anid98

I agree.


boomer_morningstar

So you agree that either prabhas should have waited till he recovered or someone else should have been casted?!
