As "Kalki 2898 AD" hits theatres today, it's not just the star-studded cast that's capturing audience attention. Bhairava’s AI droid companion, BUJJI, is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Known for its near-human-like speech and unwavering support to Prabhas' character Bhairava, BUJJI stands out as a key element of the film.
BUJJI was developed by the Mahindra Research Valley team in Chennai. This AI droid features a futuristic design powered by two Mahindra e-motors, which drive its distinctive rear spherical wheel. The creation process involved advanced computer simulations to design and test BUJJI's power system, layout, and overall performance. The result is a vehicle that matches the speed and efficiency of heavy-duty electric trucks or high-performance electric SUVs, all while sporting a sleek, futuristic appearance.

A video shared on X by ANI shows BUJJI placed at the entrance of Prasad's IMAX in Hyderabad, where fans eagerly interacted with and even sat inside the beloved AI droid. This interaction highlights BUJJI's impact as a memorable and endearing character in the film.
