New Delhi: Anil George, famous for his role of Lala in the hit series Mirzapur, is starring in Nag Ashwin’s ambitious film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. The film has an impressive ensemble cast including Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan.
Anil George has made a place for himself with his brilliant performances in films like ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, ‘Mardaani’, ‘Dybbuk’, ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’ and the web series ‘Cartel’.
Reflecting on his experience of being a part of Kalki 2829 AD, George said, ‘Being a part of the film Kalki has been an incredibly gratifying journey for me. I am grateful for the roles I have been getting, which I attribute to my dedication to acting. Initially, it was challenging to step into this film as it is a genre I was not very familiar with, but as I spent time on the set, I began to understand and appreciate it more.’
