Dulquer Salmaan’s role in Kalki 2898 AD

As mentioned earlier, Dulquer Salmaan appeared in the role of Captain, a pilot who saves an infant Bhairava, who was orphaned at a war. He brings him up like his own son and trains him in all kinds of fights, and in almost everything. However, Bhairava and Captain part ways after the duo sell each other to Supreme Yaskin’s Complex, for a huge number of units. Even though Dulquer’s role in the film is limited, the cine-goers believe that his character might return in the sequels.

The fan theories suggest that Captain is actually Lord Parasurama, the sixth avatar of Maha Vishnu. The film fanatics point out how the character is seen never aging in the film, as Bhairava grows older. Director Nag Ashwin later hinted that Dulquer Salmaan’s character might return in the sequels, as it has a lot of potential. However, the filmmaker further added that nothing is finalised yet.
