Vyjayanthi Movies Ropes In Legendary Star Cast For Prabhas-Fronted 'Project K'

Hyderabad, June 25 - The most-awaited Indian film, Project K gets bigger with the legendary addition to its already solid star cast. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the sci-fi epic is produced by C. Aswani Dutt under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies.

The movie, which was announced in February 2020, is led by Pan India superstar Prabhas while legendary Amitabh Bachchan, actress Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani are also playing prominent roles. Now, the makers have roped in legendary Kamal Haasan to play the lead antagonist role in the film.



On Sunday (June 25), Vyjayanthi Movies confirmed the veteran actor on board. While the makers haven't revealed the details of KH's role, it is said that he will be playing the main antagonist role to take on Prabhas. Kamal Haasan will start shooting in August this year and has allotted 20-30 days for his portion.

Kamal Haasan said, "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 places me in, 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".

"Project K" has easily one of the biggest star cast for an Indian film which has raised expectations to the next level. It is being made on a massive scale with a huge budget. It is one of its kind film in Indian cinema.



Meanwhile, according to recent reports, "Project K" will be released in two parts. The shoot for the first part is said to be wrapped up and filming for the second part is currently going on at a brisk pace. While the first part will establish the world and conflict of this magnum opus, the entire drama will unfold in the second half, much like what happened in the Bahubali Franchise.
