Amitabh Bachchan is making headlines for his portrayal of Ashwatthama in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. The film which also features Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and more, is a visual spectacle filled with whistle-worthy cameos. Now, Big B has revealed that he finally watched the film with his son Abhishek Bachchan and few close friends.

Amitabh Bachchan took to his blog and shared that he went to a nearby theatre to watch Kalki 2898 AD on the big screen. After greeting his fans on Sunday, he headed to a theatre. He wrote, “A Sunday of Sundays .. the well wishers at GOJ and then to Kalki with some friends to see on big screen .. seeing film for first time .. and the experience of an IMAX, and the facilities and environ at the theatre .. so impressive , the elegance and aesthetics in the facility .. had not been out for years .. but so satisfying to be out to witness all the progress.”

He also shared photos in which he can be seen seated in a theatre with Abhishek by his side. Another click sees a massive Kalki 2898 AD instalment amidst a busy street. Check out the photos here:

Ahead of the film’s release, Amitabh Bachchan made an appearance at a press event where he lauded the director’s vision. He said, “When Nag Ashwin came and explained his idea to me, for the long time after he left I was thinking, ‘What the hell is Nagi drinking?’”

This isn’t the last we’ve seen of Big B’s Ashwatthama. The star will reprise his role in the second instalment of Kalki 2898 AD.
