In a blog post, Bachchan wrote about the wonders of cinema and how it can transport us to worlds beyond our imagination. He also spoke about the challenges of playing a role in a film like Kalki 2898 AD, which is set in a dystopian future.

"The World of Cinema is bestowed with numerous tides in the realm of imagination... one imagination gets added each day to a think and thought that is in itself an entire Universe... a Universe that goes beyond the belief of reality and substantiality... yet gives ample reason and visual in its presentation and writing and in a perform that enables appreciation .. or not at times," he wrote.

"The beauty remains the same...the visions keep changing...Life relives in that hemisphere, a hemisphere that defies the realm that space exists in... stars , planets, black holes, galaxies and all...And the wonder and unanswered questions shall exist despite all that is being discovered in its landings and sittings and telescopic manifestations... not to forget the confirmed sitings (sic) of supposed UFO's by Flight operative Captains on aircraft .. a vision they are unable to fathom or decipher... And forever the talk that emanates is, we are not alone."

Bachchan also thanked the makers of Kalki 2898 AD for giving him the opportunity to play such a challenging role. He wrote, "My ever gratitude for this greeting to Vyjayanthi Movies and the challenge they have thrown towards me , as also their greetings for the 11th."
