Before starting his project Kalki 2898 AD, director Nag Ashwin requested the chairman of the Mahindra group Anand Mahindra to assist him as an engineer to make custom-made vehicles for his movie. The billionaire businessman responded positively and activated the research team in Coimbatore.
The AI-assisted vehicle Bujji was unveiled yesterday in a grand event. The custom-made vehicle grabbed the attention of all. Here’s Anand Mahindra’s first reaction.
“Fun stuff does, indeed, happen on X … We’re so proud of @nagashwin7 , and his tribe of filmmakers who aren’t afraid to think big…and I mean REALLY big.. Our team in Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai helped the Kalki team realise its vision for a futuristic vehicle by simulating the powertrain configuration, architecture and performance. In fact, the vehicle runs on two Mahindra e-motors powering the rear spherical wheel! And Jayem Automotives put it all together… Let the games begin…”
Kalki 2989 AD will be the first big film coming in theaters after a long time. So all eyes are on the film especially as it is in Sci-Fi space.
