Apart from its four leading actors Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, Kalki 2898 AD’s fifth hero is the futuristic vehicle named Bujji. Voiced by Keerty Suresh, Bujji plays the crucial role of Prabhas’ character Bhairava’s trusted best friend in the film. It came to life after director Nag Ashwin reached out to Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra during the film's making.
Responding to the same, Anand Mahindra activated his team and connected the filmmaker with Jayem Automotives in Coimbatore, collaboratively bringing this futuristic vision to life. And finally, just a couple of weeks away from the film's release, Anand Mahindra has finally met Bujji. The businessman also rode the vehicle, as the makers shared the video of this special meeting on their social media handles.
