‘Kalki 2898 A.D.’ is set in a post-apocalyptic world and chronicles the events that led to the birth of Lord Kalki, the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Deepika Padukone stars as SUM-80, aka Sumati, who has been a lab subject. Meanwhile, Supreme Yaskin, played by Kamal Hassan, is waiting for the success of his experiment called ‘Project K’ in the complex. Bhairava, portrayed by Prabhas, a bounty hunter, is ready to get his hands on the luxuries of the complex at any cost. Amitabh Bachchan, who plays Ashwatthama, son of Guru Dronacharya, is awakened from his long wait after he gets an indication of Lord Kalki’s birth.

Now, after the release of the film, fans have concocted a series of intriguing theories and Reddit is filled with threads digging out details that back the links.

She is taken to Shambhala, a hidden abode for rebels, as she is believed to be the mother of Lord Kalki, Sumati. Now, fans are questioning the existence of Vishnuyasha, the father of Kalki, in the narrative. In Buddhist manuscripts, Vishnuyasha is mentioned as a prominent headman of the village. He would be the one to end adharma and restart dharma.
