Humhu, who portrayed one of the raiders in the film "Kalki 2898 AD", shared his experiences on set in an interview with Viral Bollywood. He highlighted the valuable advice he received from Prabhas and how Deepika Padukone helped ease his nerves during filming.

Reflecting on his interactions with the cast, Humhu mentioned, "There is no scene with Amitabh Bachchan in this film. Hopefully there will be in the next part. But I got some very good scenes with Prabhas and Deepika. Prabhas is rightly called 'darling'. He taught me personally. In an action sequence, he took me to a side and gave me tips. He didn't need to do it, I'm a newcomer, and I was already a fan. But he gave me tips like an elder brother.”

Humhu also recalled a specific scene with Deepika, saying, "I remember in a scene with Deepika, I was getting nervous. So, she intentionally cracked a joke to make me laugh. This is a big deal. They are huge celebrities and don't need to do these. They are professional and big-hearted people. It was my fortune that I worked with them,”

Describing his overall experience on the film, Humhu called it both "beautiful but difficult experience.” He revealed that he sustained an injury during the shoot but remained optimistic about the film's future. Regarding the release of the second part, he expressed hope that it would happen within a year, "fingers crossed,” noting that much of the filming still needed to be completed.
