Following the first accusation against 'Kalki AD 2898', now another concept artist Oliver Beck took to social media to claim that the makers of the film used the work from his animation series 'Star Trek: Prodigy' without his permission. Earlier yesterday, 'Marvel' artist Sung Choi took to social media to compare the scenes from the film trailer with his work done 10 years ago.

Oliver Beck shared the images of his slide along with a scene from the Prabhas starrer trailer and captioned it. "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."
Following Sunvh Choi's accusation yesterday evening, this is the second major accusation against the 'Kalki AD 2898' makers. Sung Choi, the Hollywood artist took to Instagram and called out the makers of the film for using his unauthorised work. Sharing the computer graphics of a crash site he posted 10 years ago, he said, "Unauthorized use of artwork is a bad practice. I sometimes even question doing art in this lawless environment."
Look at the comparisons of the screen sequence that both the artists have accused the makers of the film about!
