RRR Fans Will Appreciate One Big Cameo in Kalki 2898 AD
The Telugu-language mythological sci-fi epic has a little something for everyone.
As a treat for loyal fans of Hindi cinema, their dialogue hinted at numerous other roles they’ve played opposite one another, as if the industry itself were the shared universe in question, occupied by their star power. Unlike the U.S., which is dominated by a single filmmaking industry, Indian cinema is subdivided by region and language, with the likes of Tollywood (Telugu), Kollywood (Tamil), Mollywood (Malayalam) and so forth having their own major stars, whose crossover appearances are often teased or even outright revealed beforehand, and become part of a movie’s marketing. So not only does the filmmaker’s cameo carry personal significance for its star but it might even grab the attention of non-Indian audiences who enjoyed Rajamouli’s Oscar winner — that is, if the news of Kalki outgrossing RRR ’s North American box-office opening doesn’t pique their curiosity first.
