Mumbai (Maharashtra): Amitabh Bachchan's look in the intriguing teaser of 'Kalki 2898 AD' left his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan impressed.
On Sunday, the makers shared the teaser of Amitabh's look from the sci-fi dystopian film during the thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
The 21-second teaser started with Big B marking presence in warm earthy tones. He was seated in a cave, engaged in prayer to a Shiva linga. He was covered with bandages.
In the brief clip, one can also see a young kid asking Big B, 'Kya tum bhagwan ho, kya tum marr nahi sakte? Tum Bhagwan ho? Kaun ho Tum?
