Nitish Bharadwaj praises Nag Ashwin

Speaking to News18, he said, ¡°Nag Ashwin made clever use of Mahabharat characters and the futuristic birth of Mahavishnu¡¯s last avatar Kalki. Hindi film producers must learn from the South as they are so deeply rooted in our scriptures and epics that even their inspirational versions seem correct. No doubt, Kalki seems to have definite visual inspiration from Mad Max movies. Yet, it seemed different because, eventually, the sets and production design were less important to me than the foreground story. Ashwin merged the 2 extremely well.¡±
