More about Project K

Project K is directed by Nag Ashwin. Reportedly, it is being made with a big budget of Rs 500 crore and is a two-part film. The movie was announced in 2020 but production was halted due to COVID-19 pandemic. The sci-fi film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas and Disha Patani among others in the lead roles. On the occasion of Maha Shivratri, the release date of the film was revealed with a poster. In the poster, 12.1.4 was printed on it. 

Reportedly, Project K will also have a mythological connection. Producer Ashwini Dutt said, "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 sentiment. We’ve also roped in four-five international stunt choreographers to oversee action sequences. Everything you see in the film will leave you stunned.”
