The film’s producers, Vyjayanthi Films, announced that the global box office collections surpassed Rs 900 crore by its 11th day. This makes "Kalki 2898 AD" the second-biggest hit for lead star Prabhas, trailing only SS Rajamouli's "Baahubali 2," which grossed over Rs 1788 crore worldwide in 2017.

Overall, the Hindi version has grossed Rs 229.05 crore, and the Telugu version stands at Rs 252.1 crore.

Directed by Nag Ashwin, "Kalki 2898 AD" is set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world inspired by Hindu scriptures. The film features an ensemble cast, including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani.
