Kalki 2898 AD is one of the most anticipated movies of 2024. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film stars Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan. In the past two weeks, the makers have dropped two trailers. Fans can’t wait to watch this science fiction mythological drama on the big screen.
Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD is cited as the most expensive Indian film ever made so far. The story is inspired by the Hindu mythological saga of Lord Vishnu’s last avatar ‘Kalki’. As the movie is set in a distant future, the set-up is such that it differs from our current world. Amidst all the excitement for the release of Prabhas‘ film, another Hollywood concept artist has accused the makers of plagiarism.
A Hollywood concept artist took to their ‘X’ page to call out the makers of Kalki 2898 AD for allegedly plagiarising his work for Star Trek: Prodigy. Oliver posted, “Sad to see that some of the work I did for Star Trek: Prodigy got stolen by Vyjayanthi movies in their trailer. This is the matte painting I did for Star Trek under direction of Ben Hibon and Alessandro Taini and then as it appears in the trailer.” In the same post, Oliver shared that the makers reportedly stole work of concept artist Sung Choi.
