Most fans are convinced that the Baahubali actor is playing the role of Kalki in the film. As per this Twitter user, there were a lot of similarities between the appearance and attributes of Prabhas' character Bhairava, a bounty hunter, and Kalki, the prophesied tenth and final incarnation of the god Vishnu.
Fans are convinced that Prabhas is playing Kalki in the film.?
In Hindu mythology, Kalki is the prophesied tenth and final avatar (incarnation) of the god Vishnu, who is expected to appear in the future to end the current age of darkness and corruption, known as Kali Yuga, and to restore righteousness (dharma). The concept of Kalki is described in various texts, including the Puranas and the Mahabharata.?
According to the Puranas, Kalki will be born in the village of Shambhala, to a Brahmin couple, Vishnuyasha and Sumati. Shambhala is often depicted as a mystical and idyllic village where people live righteous lives. Kalki's birth is foretold to happen at the end of Kali Yuga, the age of decadence, when humanity is at its worst, rife with corruption, greed, and ignorance.
Kalki is usually depicted as a mighty warrior on a white horse, wielding a sword that blazes like a comet. He is described as having great strength, intellect, and prowess in battle. His white horse symbolizes purity, and his blazing sword represents the destruction of evil and the restoration of righteousness.

Kalki's primary mission is to destroy the forces of evil and restore dharma. He is foretold to cleanse the world of unrighteousness and sin. The scriptures describe that when Kalki appears, he will eradicate the corrupt and the wicked, and establish a new era of truth, virtue, and righteousness, which is the next Yuga called Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga.
Kali Yuga, the current age, is characterized by moral decay and a general decline in human virtues. It is said to be the age of darkness, where people are far removed from spirituality and divine consciousness. Kalki's advent marks the end of this age. His actions will lead to the ultimate destruction of the wicked, paving the way for the renewal of the world.
