In an exclusive interview with ETimes, director Nag Ashwin explained the decision not to give Lord Krishna a face in the film. “There was one thing I was very sure of right from the start, that we shouldn’t have something identifiable or an actor or a defining feature of Krishna, because we are saying that he’s God, and we thought the mystery would work if we don’t see that person,” Ashwin stated. Although rumors suggested that actor Nani would portray Lord Krishna in “Kalki 2,” Ashwin clarified, “It goes against the idea of an avatar or God, as you would expect that person to be born again.”
