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.

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.
