Prabhas-Deepika-Big B starrer 'Project K' locks January 2024 release date!
Nag Ashwin's Project K, starring Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Prabhas, has finally locked its release date. The makers took to social media on Saturday to release a new poster and revealed that the large-scale project is all set to hit theaters on January 12, 2024. Prior to this, the team had also unveiled first-look posters of Prabhas and Padukone on their birthdays.
Why does this story matter?
Expectations from Project K emanate from its stellar star cast. This is the first time that Prabhas is collaborating with Padukone and Bachchan. Hence, if executed correctly, the movie is looking at tremendous pan-Indian reach and commercial success. Ashwin is best known for his National Film Award-winning film Mahanati, so it remains to be seen if he can replicate the success with Project K.
New poster hints at post-apocalyptic scenario
Project K makers and lead actors took to social media on Saturday to share an intriguing new poster featuring a large palm, evidently in contention with a few soldiers dressed in black. The shot seems to be from a post-battle scenario or post-apocalyptic world, with hues of yellow and brown dominating the frame. Large vehicles and machinery can also be seen in the background.
