There are very few actors who are as dedicated as Prabhas. He dedicated around 5 years for the Baahubali duology. Not many modern-day actors in Telugu cinema would allot as many years for a single project. Cut to now, Prabhas is set to emulate a similar feat again for his next project with Nag Ashwin. He has reportedly allotted as many as 200 working days for his next with Nag Ashwin, which has been tentatively titled Project K. Add all the layoff periods, shoot breaks, etc. and Prabhas will end up working on the project for well over a year at the very least.
The last time Prabhas allotted so many days for a project was for Baahubali duology and he might be doing the same again for Project K. Given the magnanimous scale of the project, Prabhas understood that he had to allot bulk dates for the project and he decided to act accordingly. Nevertheless, his dedication and willingness to encourage larger-than-life projects is there to be seen for everybody.
The makers of Project K are planning to carry out much of the shoot at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. This way, they will have the opportunity to cut down on the traveling costs and also carry out the shoot in a well-managed enclosure. This will also keep the risk of Covid transmission at risk.
Even Amitabh and Deepika Padukone are said to have agreed to allot bulk dates for the project. The actors are fully trusting in Nag Ashwin’s directorial capabilities and they are willing to allot consecutive dates for the project. More updates about the project will be out once the regular shoot commences. Prabhas and Deepika Padukone are expected to join the sets once they wrap up their commitments.
Meanwhile, there are also rumors that the makers of Project K are in talks with Samantha and Prithviraj Sukumaran for lead roles in the film. The final call will be taken after the two actors intimate the makers about their availability. Nag Ashwin has reportedly penned a sci-fi thriller subject for the Prabhas starrer. Vyjyanthi Movies are bankrolling the project on a lavish scale.
