In his complaint which was published in an ANI report, Acharya Pramod Krishnan has raised an objection against the content being portrayed in the film accusing it of being ‘blatantly disrespectful to Hindu scriptures’. He also went on to allege that the film’s story will ‘tarnish the mythology’ and ‘mislead devout Hindus’. He was further quoted in these reports saying, “India is a land of emotions, faith, and devotion. The values of Sanatana Dharma should not be tampered with. The scriptures of Sanatana should not be altered. Lord Kalki Narayan is at the center of our faith. He is considered the final incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Much is written about the incarnation of Kalki in the Puranas, and based on this, PM Modi laid the foundation stone of Shri Kalki Dham on February 19,” he said.
“This film goes against what is described in our scriptures. This film is hurting our religious sentiments. Therefore, we have noted some objections and are waiting for a response. Playing with the sentiments of Hindus has become a pastime for filmmakers. Saints are portrayed as demons. Freedom of expression does not mean that you can play with our faith,” the Acharya added.
Speaking of the film, Kalki 2898 AD is a sci-fi entertainer inspired by the ancient prophecy in Indian mythology about the return of Lord Vishnu as Kalki to save his devotees from the atrocities in the unjust ‘Kalyug’ (the era of Kalyug).
