Kalki 2898 AD trailer: Did Deepika Padukone's baby bump make an appearance in the trailer?

The highly-anticipated trailer of the sci-fi epic 'Kalki 2898 AD' was finally released online on Monday, June 10 and it has fans buzzing with excitement. Besides getting to see Prabhas in action, along with Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan's cool avatars, one of the major standout moments from the trailer involves a brief scene that appears to show actress Deepika Padukone with a noticeable baby bump.

In the blink-and-you-miss-it scene in the trailer, Deepika is seen lying on the floor seemingly unconscious. She wakes up with a fright and grips her belly. Although just a fleeting shot, it was easy to spot the bump under the layers of her rustic costume. She then says in a voice over, "Ek jaan ke andar, dusre jaan."


The scene caught the attention of viewers, leading to speculation about her character's storyline in the film and if director Nag Ashwin rewrote her character to incorporate her pregnancy into the film.

Social media platforms quickly lit up with discussions and theories. "Did anyone else notice Deepika's baby bump in the Kalki 2898 AD trailer?"



"Deepika being pregnant in the film (melting smiley)" commented a fan.

Another user wrote, "Deepika's baby bump in the trailer adds a whole new layer of mystery to her role."





Deepika's character's pregnancy in the film gave way to various fan theories. One popular fan-theory stated, "He (Kamal) captures people on whom bounty has been placed to earn units. In the complex, Kali ie Kamal Hassan captures women, and gets them pregnant so that he can Kill Kalki avatar before his birth. Deepika’s character is one such woman. Who gets pregnant via the process."




Another seemed to think they cracked the code and shared a highly possible fan theory saying, "I just realised Prabhas is not Kalki Deepika is pregnant and her baby is KALKI."

The trailer, which showcases a dystopian future with breathtaking visuals and a gripping narrative, has already generated significant buzz. 'Kalki 2898 AD' features a star-studded cast including Disha Patani.

The film promises a unique blend of science fiction, drama, and stellar performances, and Deepika Padukone's potential baby bump adds an intriguing twist that has audiences eagerly awaiting the film's release.

While the film hits the big screen on June 27, Deepika is expecting the arrival of her first child with her husband Ranveer Singh, in September.
