The team conceived Supreme Yaskin as a ‘decaying figure’ who breaths and lives with the support of tubes. His body has glowing cracks, which shows his age and fragile physical state. However, the Kamal Haasan’s Yaskin is still extremely powerful. Director Nag Ashwin described him as a fallen God, who has two different sides, similar to Krishna. That is the reason why he succeeds in raising the ‘Gandeeva’ which is untouchable for humans and machines and recites a poem.

Kalki 2898 AD sequel to show 7 Complexes?

The Complex based on Kashi, is not the only the only one in the world of Kalki 2898 AD.
