It is widely known that Pan Indian Star Prabhas and Young, talented director Nag Ashwin have collaborated on a massive Project, Kalki 2898 AD. Comparisons are circulating regarding the highly anticipated sci-fi spectacle, which features the renowned Superstar Prabhas. The teasers and posters showcasing vast expanses of desert terrain have ignited a discussion—is the film a copycat of the popular sci-fi franchise Dune?
According to a recent report from a Bollywood entertainment portal, director Nag Ashwin himself refuted these comparisons, asserting that the mere presence of sand should not lead viewers to believe that the films are alike. The netizens also agree with Nagi, saying that we cannot compare Dune with Kalki because both films have a dystopian backdrop. Both “Kalki 2898 AD” and “Dune” prominently feature desert settings as a backdrop for their stories. “Dune” is renowned for its sprawling deserts of Arrakis, a fictional planet. While the visual resemblances are undeniable, the specifics of the plot and characters of “Kalki 2898 AD” remain undisclosed.
Fans eagerly await further information to grasp the true essence of “Kalki 2898 AD” and its narrative. However, it can be noted that “Dune” draws heavily from Islamic and Arabian cultural influences, whereas “Kalki 2898 AD” is steeped in Indian Hindu mythology.
