C. Ashwani Dutt, producer of Kalki 2898 AD and B&B: Bujji & Bhairava shared his excitement about the same, “Vyjayanthi Movies has completed 50 glorious years. All these years, we have done larger-than-life spectacle movies like Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari and small-scale movies like Yevade Subramanyam, which have always created a benchmark for Telugu cinema. My daughters have worked on television, digital films, and series. For the first time ever, ‘B&B’, an animation series, a prelude to Kalki 2898 AD, is being launched even before the release of the film. This is the most innovative idea, and I am glad it is happening in Vyjayanthi. I am quite excited about this and am certain that it will entertain audiences of all ages.”
Adding to the same, director Nag Ashwin further said, “Bujji & Bhairava is a pure work of joy, just exploring the story of these two characters in Kalki that I enjoyed writing. It introduces audiences to the world and allows us to know more about these characters than the movie allows.”
“We are thrilled to exclusively stream and showcase B&B: Bujji & Bhairava on Prime Video. The two-episode animated series is a fitting precursor to the expansive and enthralling world of Kalki 2898 AD, a magnum opus that promises to leave the audience awestruck,” said Manish Menghani, director, content licensing, Prime Video India. “At Prime Video, we take immense pride in the synergistic collaborations and partnerships, such as this one with Vyjayanthi Movies, that endow us with the ability to build an enviable slate of content that includes the likes of Sita Ramam, Jathi Ratnalu, Mahanati, and many more. B&B: Bujji & Bhairava builds on the enormous scale and fandom amassed by Kalki 2898 AD and its star-studded ensemble cast, making it an exciting prelude that will further accentuate the experience of our customers while getting them involved and invested in the film, even before they watch it,” he added.
