Project K also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Disha Patani.

Later in the day, Haasan said he is happy to reunite with Dutt after five decades when he used to be a dance assistant and the latter was an assistant director.

“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.

‘Eagerly waiting’

“I am eagerly waiting for Project K. Whatever position the audience places me at, my primary quality is that I am a film buff. That quality will keep 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,” the Vikram star said in a statement.

Dutt is backing the project in the 50th year of his production house. He said his dream of working with Haasan has finally come true with Project K.

“It’s a great moment for any producer to be working with two legendary actors together — Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan. It’s truly a blessing for me in the 50th year of my career,” the producer said.

“We are all super excited and privileged that he agreed to come on board and complete our world,” added director Ashwin.

Project K is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 12 January, 2024, in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
