At the pre-release event, expectant Deepika Padukone graced the stage, proudly showcasing her baby bump in a form-fitting dress. The host, actor Rana Daggubati, playfully inquired, “Still in character?” referencing her role as a pregnant woman in ‘Kalki 2898 AD.’ Deepika quipped, “The movie spanned three years, so why not extend it a few more months?” Rana added that director Nagi pushed her to be a method actor, which Deepika acknowledged with a smile.
As Deepika prepared to descend from the stage, Prabhas stepped forward to assist her, gently holding her hands. Amitabh Bachchan then joined, humorously grabbing Prabhas’s shoulders and expressing his desire to help as well.
