It has always been our endeavor to present it to today's audience in the grand and cinematic style that they deserve. Through this glimpse, we are giving the audience the first glimpse of the world that we have imagined. Akshay Khanna playing the character of Shukracharya brings tremendous depth to the story. We are extremely excited to experience the great battle that begins with 'Mahakali', although this is just the beginning, a huge cinematic journey is yet to come and we can't wait to share it with the audience on the big screen.”
