On Amitabh Bachchan's 81st birthday, the makers of Kalki 2898 - AD have unveiled the first-look poster of the megastar. It was shared by the production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, on Instagram. The poster features Big B in a never-seen-before avatar. From his face covered in layers of white cloth to the top bun, Amitabh Bachchan's character gives off a mysterious vibe. We can only see the actor's eyes as he stands inside what looks like a cave. The sunlight falling on Big B's head has added an extra edge to the pic. Sharing the poster, the production house wrote, “It's an honour to be part of your journey and witness your greatness. Happy Birthday Amitabh Bachchan sir - Team Kalki2898AD.”
