With a soundtrack composed by Santhosh Narayanan, Kalki 2898 AD has captured the imagination of audiences worldwide.
Amid comparisons to the Hollywood film Dune, Nag Ashwin explained that similarities arise due to the thematic elements, such as the presence of sand in certain scenes. The filmmaker emphasized that while he admires Mad Max, the inclusion of specific elements in Kalki’s chase scene was not intentionally reminiscent of the iconic film.
