Amitabh Bachchan says he had 'no idea what Comic-Con meant'

'Kalki 2898 AD' has created a huge buzz after the launch of its first look at the San Diego Comic-Con and now Amitabh Bachchan has revealed that he did not know about the event

Amitabh mentioned in his blog on July 21 that he had no idea about the event until his son actor Abhishek Bachchan told him it was a ‘huge deal.’

Amitabh wrote, "And... the first look of Project K has just been released at this huge film event in San Diego called Comic-Con... I must admit unabashedly that I had no idea what Comic-Con meant or was until I told Abhishek, or rather asked him what this is all about and he said… with a shocked look on his face: 'Dad... Comic-Con? This is a huge deal .."

He also wrote, "And today as I partake in a Zoom call at the release I cannot but be in bewildered admiration for Nagi Ashwin and his team for putting together an astonishing film. I am trying to put the teaser here... but am not proficient enough for that. I hope by the morning there shall be sufficient help in doing so."

Talking about his son, Amitabh further wrote, "Abhishek’s reaction said it all...'Whoa!!! This is huge'. Well... laddo peda (sweets) all in his mouth for this .. (laughing emoji)."

Abhishek shared the first glimpse of Kalki 2898 AD in his Instagram story and wrote, "Wow! (okay emoji) Kalki 2898 AD." Amitabh's granddaughter Navya Nanda Nevali also shared the clip on her Instagram Stories with fire emojis.

Directed by Nag Ashwin, Kalki 2898 AD also stars Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Disha Patani.
