Prabhas, accompanied by his comrade Bujji, has initiated the promotional activities with intriguing snippets, thereby amplifying anticipation surrounding the film. Meanwhile, Bujji has garnered substantial renown owing to its avant-garde design and formidable dimensions. Leveraging its notoriety and distinguishing traits, filmmaker Nag Ashwin has extended an invitation to Elon Musk, the CEO of Space X and Tesla, for a test drive of the formidable machine.
Addressing Musk directly, Ashwin penned, “Esteemed @elonmusk, we extend a cordial invitation for your perusal and experience of our #Bujji… a colossal 6-ton creation, entirely #fabricatedinindia. It is wholly electric and an exemplar of engineering prowess. Undoubtedly, it would offer a captivating visual alongside your cybertruck 😬 (an extraordinary spectacle witnessing them traverse together).”
Presently, Kalki 2898 AD is drawing considerable attention with the introduction of a novel entity: Bujji, an automaton. Unveiled amidst a grand ceremony in Hyderabad, Bujji captivated the audience as lead actor Prabhas made a gallant entry into the futuristic vehicle.
