However, the film's release is reportedly postponed. According to a Hindustan Times report, the makers of Kalki 2898 AD have decided to delay the film's release.

Kalki 2898 AD release postponed?

The media report suggests that the makers of Kalki 2898 AD considered this decision as the film's release was close to that of Prabhas' Salaar, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 22, 2023. For that matter, Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki is also releasing around the same time, on December 21.

Since the film has a big star cast and a lot is riding on Kalki 2898 AD, the makers are now looking for a more suitable time for its release. They reportedly wish to avoid it amid the buzz around Salaar and Dunki's box office clash.
