The highest budget film in India is often reported to be "Kalki 2898 AD," with a reported budget of around 600 crore rupees. The film is a major Telugu and Hindi science fiction production directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Vyjayanthi Movies.
Why This Film Had Such a High Budget
The film's large budget reflects extensive visual effects, elaborate sets, and a multi-star cast featuring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone. Producers invested heavily in international studios, pre visualisation, and large scale action sequences to match global production standards.
Box Office and Industry Impact
The film opened to strong collections but faced mixed reception and underperformed relative to its massive investment, becoming a notable case study in high risk Indian filmmaking. For more details on its financial performance, see LiveMint.
