Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone made a stunning appearance in a black dress at the pre-release event of Kalki 2898 - AD. She was joined by co-stars Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Kamal Haasan on the stage. The event was hosted by Prabhas' dear friend Rana Daggubati. As mom-to-be Deepika Padukone entered the stage, Rana Daggubati asked her, "Are you still in your character?" Deepika's witty reply was, "The movie went on for about three years. So I was like, why not? Just a few months more." Rana quipped, "So, Nagi (director Nag Ashwin) really pushed you to be a method actor?" Deepika replied with a smile on her face, "I mean, clearly." Rana then asked Deepika to share something about Nagi. Deepika replied, "If Nagi opens his mouth and speaks, I'll be able to tell you a little bit about Nagi."
