May 30 (Punjab Khabarnama) : The B&B: Bujji and Bhairava animated prelude to Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD will stream on Amazon Prime Video from May 31. Ahead of the release of the two-part series, a trailer was released on Thursday, giving a glimpse of what it would be like.
Bujji and Bhairava
A one-minute-and-29-second trailer gives a glimpse of Prabhas’ character Bhairava and his sidekick, the robotic vehicle Bujji, and their adventures. Keerthy Suresh has voiced Bujji. Green Gold Animation, famous for making Chhota Bheem, seem to have also produced the project. The trailer reveals more than what the makers have shared so far, including a structure Bhairava calls ‘complex’. It also introduces a new character voiced by Brahmanandam.
Bujji and Bhairava will be released in Telugu, Hindi, English and Spanish.
The announcement
Previously, Prime Video also released a 52-second video in which a bunch of children can be seen asking Bhairava how long they have to wait as summer’s almost over. They also ask him why he’s welding all the time. He asks Bujji to show the kids the ‘surprise,’ and she shows them a glimpse of their adventures in animated style. This lines up with a leaked picture that has been doing rounds on X, widely shared by fans, of an animated Bujji and Bhairava, which fans had guessed would be used for the film’s promotions.
Kalki 2898 AD release
Kalki 2898 AD stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani in the lead roles. It will be released in theatres on June 27.
