The first glimpse of Mahakali sets the stage for a powerful battle between Dharma and Adharma, as the forces of the divine find themselves locked in a conflict far greater than a mere clash between good and evil.

Following the massive intrigue generated by his first look, the glimpse offers audiences their first real taste of his portrayal, further amplifying curiosity around the powerful Asura guru and his role in the battle between Dharma and Adharma.
