The cast of Nag Ashwin's Project K gets bigger. Kamal Haasan has joined Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Prabhas in the sci-fi film, reportedly as the antagonist. The announcement came yesterday with a special video. The big-scale film is produced by C Aswani Dutt under his banner Vyjayanthi Movies. Reuniting with Aswani after 5 decades, Kamal penned a note on being a part of Project K.
In his statement, a paragraph read, "Both (Aswani and he) 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."
He added, "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."
Thank you for the love Amit Ji @SrBachchan
