The Tollywood magnum opus Kalki 2898 AD was released in cinemas on June 27, 2024, creating a sensation despite its non-holiday release. This epic, directed by Nag Ashwin, stars legends Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan, with Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani as the female leads.

By the end of its 10-day theatrical run at the North American box office, Kalki 2898 AD grossed over $15.5 million, making it the highest-grossing South Indian movie in North America, second only to Baahubali 2. This success has brought renewed attention to the ‘Non-Prabhas’ record.

This achievement marks the beginning of a new era for South Indian films in North America. Fans are eager to see if Kalki 2898 AD can surpass the lifetime gross of Baahubali 2 ($20.7 million). If it does, it will be a sensational milestone, marking the end of the ‘Non-Rajamouli’ record and the dawn of the ‘Non-Prabhas’ era.

Notably, the top two highest-grossing South Indian films feature the mighty Prabhas in the lead. Fans are closely watching to see if this remarkable feat will be accomplished. Stay tuned for more updates on this pan-Indian epic.
