Kalki 2898 AD Sequel: Makers Officially Confirm Santhosh Narayanan’s Return

The release of Kalki 2898 AD initially saw some viewers expressing dissatisfaction with the music composed by Santhosh Narayanan, but opinions gradually changed as the background score eventually resonated strongly with audiences and became one of the film’s major highlights.

On the occasion of his birthday, the team officially wished Santhosh Narayanan and confirmed that he is returning as the composer for the sequel. This update has now cleared the uncertainty surrounding the music department, especially after the composer initially faced mixed reactions from a section of the audience during the first film’s release. His return also highlights how important his soundtrack and background score were to the success of Kalki 2898 AD.

Recently, work on the sequel officially began in Hyderabad with Amitabh Bachchan and other cast members joining the shoot.
