Nag Ashwin’s dystopian sci-fi action film, Kalki 2898 AD, courted controversy soon after its trailer released on Monday. Days after watching the first glimpse of the film starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani, a concept illustrator and designer, who has worked with Marvel Studios, Disney, and Warner Bros, has taken to social media to call out the makers, Vyjayanthi Movies, for seemingly copying his artwork. 

Sharing the frames from Kalki 2898 AD and his own artwork dating 10 years, Sung Choi criticised the unauthorised use of his creation. If his post is credible, Choi’s comparison inarguably appears to hold merit.
