For the past couple of days, we have been hearing that the makers of Prabhas’s Project K have initiated talks with star actress, Samantha Akkineni as they wish to rope her in for an important role in the film. It was rumored that Samantha too is willing to come on board for the project.
It was also said that Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran is in consideration for another key role in the film. These speculations were so very rife that Samantha’s personal team took notice of them and reacted to the same. Here is an interesting update on whether or not Samantha is a part of Prabhas’s Project K.
As stated by Samantha’s team, she is not a part of Project K. Any report claiming otherwise is baseless and doesn’t have any authenticity. “Samantha is not associated with the project in any which way. Any reports claiming that she is on board for the project are just random rumors and nothing more.
The makers haven’t approached Samantha for any role in the film,” a member of Samantha’s team said. This should put an end to the series of speculations about Project K and especially, Samantha’s involvement in the project. It is very much evident that she is not starring in the film.
Meanwhile, the makers of Project K are currently erecting a special set in Hyderabad for shooting purpose. As reported earlier, the majority of the shoot will be taking place at a specially assembled set in Ramoji Film City Hyderabad.
The lead actors, Prabhas and Deepika Padukone will be joining the sets once they are done with their current commitments. Amitabh has already started shooting for the film in the set that has been erected. He will be shooting for a week or so before leaving for Mumbai again.
The regular shooting will commence only after Prabhas turns available. The unit is presently preoccupied with wrapping up the pre-production works as early as they possibly can. Nag Ashwin is directing the film and Vyjyanthi Movies are producing it. Project K is tipped to be one of the costliest projects in Indian cinema. More details about the project will be out in the days to come.
