New Delhi: Just a few days remain till the premiere of Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, the year's most anticipated magnum opus. Adding to the growing anticipation, the film finally lived up to the enormous hype around it with a spectacular celebration in Mumbai on June 19th. The cast and crew of the film were in attendance at this glamorous event. 


The evening's most memorable event happened when Amitabh Bachchan bought the first ticket for his movie 'Kalki 2898 AD' and gave it to Kamal Haasan, his co-star. With a smile, Amitabh Bachchan said, “I will give it to my colleague, my dear friend, my brother Kamal Haasan.” He then invited Haasan to the stage.






The legendary actor Kamal Haasan reminisced about his journey in the industry. He playfully said, "I wish this had happened 3-4 decades ago and he had given me the first-day first-show ticket of Sholay. I had to wait for three weeks to see that film. I hope there are many more fans who’d wait for many weeks to see this film like I did for Sholay. I never thought I would be here receiving the first day, first show ticket from Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. I was a film technician then, and now I am an actor. Nothing has changed.”
