India's Own Batmobile, 'Bujji', Stars in Upcoming Sci-Fi Movie 'Kalki 2898 AD'

'Kalki 2898 AD', a new sci-fi movie featuring a custom robotic car named Bujji, was unveiled in Hyderabad. Designed by Mahindra and Jayem Automotives, Bujji features advanced engineering and unique attributes.


Coimbatore: The sci-fi movie scene is set to be revolutionized with the introduction of 'Kalki 2898 AD', eagerly anticipated for its star-studded cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani. But beyond the glitz of its cast, the movie has garnered attention for featuring Bujji, a custom-built robotic car, crafted by Mahindra Research Valley, Chennai, and Jayem Automotives, which might just be India’s response to the Batmobile.






Kamal Haasan's portrayal of a vital character along with the dynamic presence of Bujiqui has piqued the curiosity of automobile and movie enthusiasts alike. This futuristic car is not merely a prop but an integral part of the film, playing a character named Bujji with its own voice provided by the talented actress Keerthy Suresh. This robotic car partners with Prabhas's character Bhairawa, adding a technological edge to this thrilling narrative.






Recently unveiled in Hyderabad, Bujji stands out not only for its imposing presence but also for its impressive specifications. It measures over 6 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and stands 2.1 meters tall. Weighing about 6 tonnes, this massive vehicle is powered by dual electric motors from Mahindra Power, generating a combined output of 126 bhp and a remarkable torque of 9800 Nm. These motors are supported by a 47 kWh battery pack, providing ample power to its distinct spherical rear wheel.






Aside from its size, the design features of Bujji, like its three-wheel configuration with hubless wheels on the front, captivate onlookers. The rear spherical wheel, a design marvel, ensures smooth motion while the custom CEAT tires enhance its road presence. This engineering marvel, although fictional, showcases the potential future of automotive design and technology, making 'Kalki 2898 AD' a must-watch for more reasons than one.
