Exclusive! Kalki 2898 AD Choreographer Pony Verma Reveals, "Prabhas Is Not Comfortable With Dancing"

Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani has been doing exceptionally well at the box office. The movie has received fantastic reviews, and the word of mouth is also amazing. While there's not a proper dance number in the film, the makers had released a song titled Bhairava Anthem as a promotional song. It features Prabhas and Diljit Dosanjh, and the track has also received a fantastic response.

Filmibeat recently interacted with the choreographer of the song, Pony Verma. When asked her about what she thought about Prabhas and Diljit coming together for a song, Pony said, "I remember Priyanka calling me and she said, 'Pony we have to do a promotional song', so I said, 'okay, kya karna hai?'. She said, 'we have Diljit', so the Punjaban in me was jumping with joy. I knew Kalki is not a film where I can make Prabhas dance. So, I told her to send me the song, and the first image that came to my mind was 'Prabhas as Sardar'. They were very shocked that what is this concept I am coming up with."

Further when asked her about her experience of working with both the stars, the choreographer said, "Prabhas is not somebody who is very comfortable with dancing, he is like Ajay Devgn sir. So, Prabhas was like 'master no step'. I told him no steps but just give me two looks. One I want to keep it as black-swag, and I want you one as Sardar. So, he said, 'what? why?'. I told him you trust me, I am going to send you the look and if you don't like, reject it. He saw the look, and said 'okay master whatever you say'."

"When I told Diljit about it that I want this two look, he agreed quickly because it is his style. So, it was wonderful working with both of them, and they gave me 100 percent, and trusted me, and the magic on the screens now," she added.

Kalki 2898 AD Box Office Collection

Kalki 2898 AD has collected around Rs. 511 crore (all languages) in 11 days which is excellent. The film, which is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 600, still needs a huge amount at the box office to cross the budget. However, it looks like by the end of its second week, the movie will surpass 600 crore at the box office. But, let's wait and watch.
