With Kalki 2898 AD set to release on 27th June 2024, the makers of the film recently unveiled the film's new poster. The poster featuring stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, and Deepika Padukone, has generated immense excitement among fans for its grand scale.

Despite the positive reception, some viewers have drawn parallels between Kalki 2898 AD and Dune. Now, an old video has resurfaced on the internet featuring Nag Ashwin, the director of the much-awaited magnum opus addressing comparisons between his film and the Hollywood blockbuster Dune. Nag Ashwin said, "Yeah! (Laughed) That is because you see sand. Wherever you see sand, it looks like Dune."
