Kalki made news recently when Rajasekhar met with an accident during the shoot. He said in a statement, “10 days back I was injured on the sets of Kalki while shooting a stunt sequence. I couldn’t take rest because we could not stop shoot, the film has a big cast. I am recovering slowly. I’m much better now.”
Kullu Manali was one of the shooting locations for the movie. The crew happened to be there when the recent landslides happened. The actor said, “A landslide on the route halted our journey. But nothing has happened to anyone. We are all safe. We have resumed our journey and I am looking forward to shooting at Kullu Manali.” Karthi’s Dev was the other film that had to stop shoot because of landslides in Kullu Manali.
Jointly produced by C. Kalyan, Shivani Rajasekhar and Shivathmika Rajasekhar – the actor’s daughters, Kalki was announced in August 2018. The story is rumoured to be set in Telangana, and follows Rajasekhar’s character who is set out to solve a case. Shravan Bharadwaj is the music composer.
