Kalki 2898 AD: When Amitabh Bachchan Took To Ramcharitmanas Ahead Of The Film's Release

I

Iconic Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has been reading excerpts from Tulsidas's epic poem the Ramcharitmanas in the days leading up to the premiere of his much-anticipated film, "Kalki 2898 AD." A star-studded cast includes Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Prabhas is present in this film. Late Monday night, Amitabh posted a photo of a Ramcharitmanas page to his blog, along with some commentary and the lines translated into English.

In the aforementioned blog, the Big B of Bollywood wrote “We are in time after ages. and the age of the ages is beginning to get a control .. which is recommended and practised all over .. so the effect of that early bird shall be exercised and the results reverted upon ..” before sharing the picture of the script. He then translated the verses, conveying profound philosophical insights. According to Amitabh’s translation, “Without knowing divinity, there is no belief; without belief, there is no love; and without love, how can there be devotion? Just like the reflected smoothness of water is never still or stagnant, without a guru, there can be no learning; without reclusion and quietude, can there be learning. The Veda and the Puraan say that without prayer and devotion to Hari, there can be no peace and calm.”

to the above, the Shehenshah added “Can a boat ever move without being in water? Without the earth, can there be trees that grow? And many more such examples to exemplify the presence and the prayers to the Almighty, the absence of which makes many things impossible.” He concluded with a heartfelt prayer, “I pray for eternal peace and calm. Whoever listens to it, may there be fructification.”

In addition, he tweeted out the following post ahead of the magnum opus making its big screen debut. it sees the Bollywood legend, who plays Ashwatthama in the epic in a fairly reflective and gratitude-filled mood. you can find the post below:

The film features a confrontation between Ashwatthama, played by Amitabh Bachchan, and Bhairava, played by Prabhas. During a recent promotional press conference, Amitabh voiced his shock at the film's premise. "For a long time after he left, I was thinking, 'what the hell is Nagi drinking?'" he said with a laugh, recalling the day when Nag Ashwin had shared his idea with him. His co-stars, particularly Rana, were deeply hurt by this comment.
