The movie’s producers, Vyjayanthi Films, announced on Monday that the epic science-fiction film has crossed another milestone and entered the Rs 900 crore (GBOC) club, making it only the 10th Indian movie to surpass this mark.

Besides Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, Kalki also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan in key roles. In her review of the movie, The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta wrote “Kalki may have Prabhas as the headliner, but it is Amitabh Bachchan all the way — his Ashwatthama is suitably gravelly and towers over the film. Kamal Haasan comes on sparingly but does leave an impact.”
