Kamal Haasan Approached For Antagonist Role In Prabhas Starrer Project K, But 150 Crore Offer Disputed

Prabhas and Deepika Padukone starrer Project K has captured attention as one of the most highly anticipated films. Recent reports suggest that veteran actor Kamal Haasan has been approached to portray the antagonist in the movie.

The Collaboration

Project K marks the first collaboration between the Pan India star Prabhas and director Nag Ashwin, renowned for directing the Savitri biopic, Mahanati. Social media has been abuzz with rumors that producer Ashwini Dutt has offered Kamal Haasan a staggering remuneration of ₹150 crores to portray the antagonist in the film.

Setting the Record Straight

Hindustan Times clarifies the truth behind these reports. According to their latest report, the makers of Project K have indeed approached Kamal Haasan for the antagonist role. However, the claim of a ₹150 crore offer to the veteran actor is refuted.

In Talks

A source quoted by the publication reveals that talks have been initiated with Kamal Haasan, but he has not confirmed anything yet. It may take another week or two to gain more clarity on whether he has accepted the offer.

An Intriguing Prospect

Currently shooting for Indian 2 under the direction of legendary filmmaker S Shankar, Kamal Haasan’s potential negative role opposite Prabhas in Project K is generating significant interest. The film also features Amitabh Bachchan in an important role. Ashwini Dutt mentions that both Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan have approximately a week to 10 days of shooting remaining.

Formal Announcement and National Pride

Project K was officially announced through a special video in February 2020, commemorating Vyjayanthi Films’ 50th anniversary. Director Nag Ashwin reached out to businessman Anand Mahindra on Twitter last year, seeking assistance in creating futuristic automobiles for the lavishly budgeted film. He expressed that the film’s ambitious endeavors might inspire national pride.
