Nani, in a new interview, was asked if he has been roped in to play Lord Krishna in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2.
Nag Ashwin’s epic saga, Kalki 2898 AD featured some stellar cameos by Mrunal Thakur, Vijay Deverakonda and Dulquer Salmaan. Post the film’s release, there have been various rumours doing the rounds about Telugu star Nani’s involvement in the upcoming sequel.
Recently in an interview with India Today, Nani was asked if the makers of Kalki 2 have approached him to essay the role of Lord Krishna, as speculated on social media.
In response, the ‘Hi Nanna’ actor said, “Not at all. I think Nagi said this, they won’t be showing the face of Lord Krishna in the film, because Krishna’s image should be like that only in (silhouette) our head. So they will play with Arjuna and Karna, the most important characters.”

He continued, “I don’t know why this started — maybe it’s because of the close relationship I share with the whole team. But nothing has been discussed so far about me playing a cameo in the film. However, I would love to be in a Prabhas anna, Nagi’s, or Swapna’s film. They are all very close to me, but I’m not sure about doing a cameo. I haven’t actually thought about it, and I haven’t done any cameos in a long time. I have my own jazz going on non-stop. But you never know.”
Kalki 2 is reportedly slated to go on floors, likely in January or February 2025. Producer Swapna Dutt in an interview, mentioned that after seeing the results and the audience’s reaction to Kalki 2898 AD, they are approaching part two with a whole new energy.
Meanwhile, Nani is currently basking in glowing reviews for his latest theatrical release, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.
