The film follows the journey of Bhairava, a bounty hunter, as he navigates this dystopian future. The film’s universe was previously introduced through a two-part animated series, “B&B: Bujji & Bhairava,” available exclusively on Prime Video.‘Kalki 2989 AD’ Set for Prime Video, Netflix Global Streaming Premiere
