Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas welcome Kamal Haasan as he joins Nag Ashwin’s Project K: ‘A legend is what we needed for this role’

Amitabh Bachchan welcomed Kamal Haasan to the film through an Instagram post. “Welcome Kamal .. great working with you again .. it’s been a while,” he wrote. Prabhas also took to Instagram to express his joy and wrote in the caption, “A moment that will be etched in my heart forever. Honored beyond words to collaborate with the legendary @ikamalhaasan sir in #ProjectK. The opportunity to learn and grow alongside such a titan of cinema is a dream come true moment.”

Producer Ashwini Dutt recently revealed several details about the project and said the film is now almost 70% complete. In an interview with a Telugu YouTube channel, the producer said that Project K will be a grand, VFX-heavy film. “This will be a graphics-heavy film. It’s been five months since we commenced work on the graphics and it’ll go on through the course of next year as well. We’ve completed about 70% of the shoot so far.”

According to the producer, the team has roped in international stunt coordinators for the film’s big-scale action sequences. The music of Project K will be composed by Santosh Narayanan.

“The film has fantasy and elements of science-fiction. It’s about the modern-day avatar of Vishnu, but at the same time, it’ll be high on sentiments. We’ve also roped in four-five international stunt choreographers to oversee action sequences. Everything you see in the film will leave you stunned,” he said.

Project K marks Deepika Padukone’s debut in the Telugu film industry. The movie is being shot in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously and will release in multiple languages across the country. Earlier this year, makers announced that the film will release on January 12, 2024.
