Talking about the trailer for the movie, the makers earlier released a video offering a glimpse of what Upendra has been working on. The video, titled Warner, served as a warning and reflected on the core theme of the film.

UI is reportedly set in a dystopian world in 2040. The world is devastated by COVID-19, AI, social media, global warming, and wars. People live in poverty and cling to irrelevant labels like caste. They are unaware that they have been brainwashed by those in power to keep living without questioning the bigger issues. The film aims to be a sharp social commentary on how people are misled into believing all is well.

Take a look at the video below:


The official satellite rights of UI have reportedly been acquired by Zee Kannada. However, the digital rights of the Upendra starrer have not been confirmed yet. If you are a fan of South Indian sci-fi movies, then do watch this movie in theaters and share your thoughts with us.
