Hilarious cameos by the directors

One fan became so enthusiastic that they took to X (formerly Twitter) to share screen grabs of directors SS Rajamouli, Ram Gopal Varma, Anudeep KV and actors Vijay Deverakonda, Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, and Faria Abdullah’s cameos in the film.

“Next movie 10 years reserved anta #Prabhas,” sharing a video of Rajamouli’s character interacting with Prabhas’ Bhairava and making a self referential joke about taking 5 years to make Baahubali.

Another shared a video of RGV with Bhairava, joking, “The Contravercyking, socialmedia activists, Loverboy and playboy mr. @RGVzoomin gave guest cameo in #Kalki2898AD movie and great dailog delevary with #Bhairava..”

Sombre cameos by the actors

One Vijay fan was so thrilled by his cameo as Arjuna, he shared a picture, writing, “Annaaa @nagashwin7. Life long Runapadi untaaa. Em character ichav ayyaaa. Ma Deverakonda @TheDeverakonda. Climax lo vache scenes ki nuv use chesinattu evaru cheyaleru. Em chupinchav anna. Pure Goosebumps. Prabhas anna Vijay anna okate Frame lo. #Kalki2898 (Brother, I will be indebted to you. You’ve given such a good character to Vijay. No one can write like the scenes you wrote for the climax. It’s pure goosebumps to see Prabhas and Vijay in one frame.)”

Without giving much away, one fan shared a screengrab of Dulquer, calling it an ‘excellent’ film. Other fans did the same by sharing pictures of Mrunal and Faria from the film.

One fan was thrilled that Arjun Das lent his voice to the role of Krishna, and the actor replied with a hug emoji.

While Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur and Vijay Deverakonda’s cameos add to the film, the rest don’t serve much other than giving the audience a fun moment. But it looks like fans don’t seem to mind.
