Kalki 2898 AD is an upcoming science fiction Indian film starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Kamal Haasan, and Deepika Padukone in important roles. Kalki’s first teaser was launched at SDCC in America, and it received a positive response from the audience.

We have previously discussed the origin of Kalki and its link with the Kalki 2898 Ad film, which we used to call Project K.

However, some people call it a cheap copy of Dune, but it is actually linked with the Hindu epic Kalki Puran, so labeling it as a copy of Dune is simply ignorance.

Fees of Actors in Kalki 2898 AD

With a budget of 600 crores, 200 to 250 crores are allocated for the fees of Starcast. Given the long list of Starcast, the 200 crore amount may not seem substantial, but the fee structure is not the same for all the actors.

Despite facing three big flop films back-to-back, Prabhas is still receiving 100 Crore for this science fiction film. The aura created by S.S Rajamouli for Prabhas continues to have a significant impact on his remuneration. However, after the release of Salaar and Project K, this might change. If both of these films fail at the box office, Prabhas may have to reduce his fees for his upcoming films, possibly to around 40-50 Crore.
