Bachchan's performance reminded me of Christopher Lee's portrayal in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Despite Lee being 81 years old, he performed many fight scenes. Of course, these fight scenes were executed by stuntmen with Lee's face digitally pasted over them, marking a pioneering moment in digital CGI effects at that time. Additionally, Bachchan has also been digitally de-aged earlier in "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" for flashback scenes. Regarding the film, I believe the makers have kept Krishna's face hidden because they plan to reveal him while also revealing Kalki, possibly portraying both characters with the same actors. (Spoiler alert) I didn't understand Vedant's parallel with Bhairava being depicted as Arjun, as in the flashback scene, Karna is clearly portrayed by Prabhas. This raises a plot hole: how did Ashwatthama not recognize Bhairava as Karna, since both looked identical? Perhaps his memory has been blurred over the 6000 years. Lastly, as Basundhara mentioned, our mythology is a treasure trove of stories that haven't been properly adapted in Indian films. However, many modern Indian comic books have superbly adapted these stories in contemporary ways by merging ancient myths with modern sci-fi, rivaling the best American comics. I recommend checking out comic books by Holy Cow Publications (Aghori, Ravanayan) or Graphic India (Devi, Sadhu, 18 Days - based on Mahabharat, Avatar X). Graphic India is also behind the popular Hanuman animated series on Hotstar. I'm sure Nag Ashwin has drawn some inspiration from Graphic India's projects: "Project Kalki" and "Ramayan 3392 A.D."
Some wonderful points! Thank you for sharing the tidbits. In all fairness though, Amitabh Bachchan’s de-aging in K3G was more make-up wonder than CGI magic. Coming to your confusion, I was simply suggesting that I would have enjoyed Bhairava as the form of Arjuna instead of Karna. The film has enough parallels for him to be Arjuna, but it chooses to show him as a form of Karna. I hope that clarifies the doubt. And I couldn’t agree more about the comics that have depicted some wonderful things. I have had close relationships with Graphic India as the company and its creative head, as well. The print universe is bringing in some flavourful stories related to our myths!
Bmm.. no.. that is natural. The biology is such and it is this way... ancient world also includes.. tribal groups as well.. apart from the ancient civilised groups..
In the last scene, there was another body like Supreme in a pod chamber (like a child in a womb). Maybe this is how he is alive for such long, regenerating/changing bodies.
I felt Prabhas was as dull as he has been previously in other films. I would go so far as to say he was sleepwalking through this film. Also, if he was Karn during the battle of Kurukshetra, how did Amitabh's character not recognise him initially? Absolute nonsense.
I really enjoyed the discussion with having already watched the movie a lot of things make me go "ohh" "yeah" "yess" " correct". A few things were like oh I didn't think this way or completely new. Thank you @GangsOfCinepur and @mythwala for this video it was much needed at least for me to understand the movie almost fully 🙌. Also hopeful for a few theories that vendant feels should come true 😬🙌
South movies while dubbing in Hindi always lose the dialogues meaning.

Really liked every moment Amitabh and Prabhas was on screen together, and also watching Kamal Hassan was too much funnn
