Filmmaker Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi film ‘Project K’ has been making headlines ever since its announcement. Being hailed as one of the biggest Indian films to watch out for, the film stars Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani in the lead. Produced by one of the biggest production houses in Telugu cinema – Vyjayanthi Movies, makers now have another reason to celebrate as Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan has decided to come on board and play a crucial role in the film. Kamal Haasan joining ‘Project K’ has undoubtedly made this film one with the greatest casting coup ever.
Confirming the same, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan said in an official statement, “50 years back when I was a dance assistant and an assistant director, the name Ashwini Dutt loomed large in the production sector. Both of us are coming together after 50 years. A brilliant director from our next generation is at the helm. My co-stars Mr. Prabhas and Ms. Deepika are also of that generation. I have worked with Amit Ji before. Yet every time it feels like the first time. Amit Ji keeps reinventing himself. I am also emulating that inventive process. I am eagerly waiting for Project K . Whatever position the audience place me at , my primary quality is that I am a film buff. That quality will keep me applauding any new attempt in my industry. Let mine be the first applause for Project K. With our director Nag Ashwin’s vision, I am sure that applause will echo across our country and the world of cinema.”
Prabhas on his Instagram posted, “A moment that will be etched in my heart forever. Honoured 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.”
‘Project K’ is a multilingual sci-fi produced by Vyjayanthi Movies that completes their fifty glorious years in the history of filmmaking.
