en Bollywood News Kalki 2898 AD: Makers share unseen BTS image of Deepika Padukone and Nag Ashwin in an intense conversation

Deepika Padukone essayed the role of Sumathi aka SUM-80, the woman who holds the key to an age-old prophecy.

Deepika Padukone & Prabhas starrer Kalki 2898 AD continues its dream run at the box office as it enters its third week. Amid all the positive reviews and appreciation coming its way, the makers of the sci-fi fantasy drama decided to treat the audience with an interesting post. On Monday, they took to social media to drop an unseen photo of Deepika as Sumathi aka Sum-80 with the captain of the ship, director Nag Ashwin, from the sets of the film.

In the photo, Deepika Padukone is seen dressed as her character Sumathi, presenting a rugged and warrior-like appearance for the film. Director Nag Ashwin is seen sitting with her, dressed in a red short as the two appear to be in an intense discussion about an upcoming scene, with Deepika attentively absorbing the directions. The setting is designed to look like a cave with intricate roots. Sharing the photo, the makers wrote, "Between takes. Our Sumathi and the Captain of the ship!" and reminds us of the look that we saw of Deepika in glimpses which were being shared, ahead of its release.

Meanwhile, in a recent interaction, as the director discussed about the happenings of Kalki 2898 AD, he explained the importance of the character played by Deepika. Earlier in a recent interview, Director Nag Ashwin himself called the scene his favourite in the entire film. He also said, "She is the most integral part of the story. Whenever someone asks me, you have these four super important characters, who do you think whose story is it? We had a lot of discussion on whose story is it when we were writing as well. I think the simplest answer we arrived at was whose character do you remove if the story doesn’t exist? And that’s Deepika’s character. If you remove her, there is no story, there is no Kalki.”
