Prabhas' Project K with Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan is the latest talk of the town. As per trade buzz, the team is planning to release the film in two parts similar to Baahubali. Directed by Nag Ashwin, Project K is a sci-fi thriller with high-octane action sequences.
According to sources, the first part will establish the alternate universe while the drama will unfold only in the second part. However, a section of the media is also contradicting the report, they claim the film will be released in one part and depending on the success a sequel will be churned out.
Made with a budget of 500 Cr, Project K is Vyjayanthi Movies' landmark 50th film. The director has developed high-end technology and futuristic vehicles with the help of Mahindra Research Valley for the film.
Interestingly, the director has already revealed that Deepika's character will be the surprise element in the film and she will play a role that no female lead has played before on the big screen.
Meanwhile, there are also reports that Amitabh Bachchan's character in the film will be similar to Ashwatthama from Mahabharata while Prabhas will play a superhero. The film is likely to hit screens in April 2024.
