About Bujji
A few days ago, Prabhas shared a short video in which a robot named Bujji gets impatient as the team of Kalki 2898 AD builds her ‘body’ which is a custom-made car. On Wednesday, an event was held to introduce Bujji’s body. A massive arena was set up to show off the vehicle to a select crowd. While the event began a few hours late, fans were thrilled to see Prabhas attend. Talking at the event, Prabhas thanked Nag for making the film and the audience for showing him love through the years. He also said he's grateful to have the opportunity to work with stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani.
