Anand Mahindra, serving as the chairperson of the Mahindra Group, played a pivotal role in the creation of the futuristic vehicle featured in the upcoming film "Kalki 2898 AD," directed by Nag Ashwin. Recently, Mahindra met Bujji, the innovative three-wheeled electric vehicle, and took it for a test drive, an event that has captured widespread attention on the internet.


The concept of Bujji originated when director Nag Ashwin sought the collaboration of Anand Mahindra during the film's production phase. Mahindra enthusiastically engaged his team and facilitated a partnership with Jayem Automotives in Coimbatore to bring Bujji to life. With the film set to premiere soon, Mahindra's test drive with Bujji was documented in a viral video shared by the filmmakers on social media.

In «Kalki 2898 AD,» Bujji (voiced by Keerthy Suresh) serves as a sophisticated vehicle integral to the character Bhairava, portrayed by Prabhas. The film, known for its record-breaking budget, is directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies, set for release on June 27 in multiple Indian languages.

Additionally, an animated series titled «Bujji and Bhairava,» a precursor to the film, debuted on Amazon Prime Video, introducing audiences to the film's characters and its dystopian world.
The star-studded cast of «Kalki 2898 AD» includes Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, marking it as one of Bollywood's most anticipated sci-fi epics.
