Pan-Indian hero Prabhas has multiple movies in his hand right now. But the biggest and the costliest of the lot is ‘Project K’ which is a science fiction film based on the concept of time traveling. Directed by ‘Mahanati’ fame Nag Ashwin, the movie is bankrolled under the Vyjayanthi Movies banner on a humongous budget of around 500 crores. There are heavy expectations on this movie which is expected to hit the screens in 2024.
According to reports, the Nizam rights of this movie were bagged by the Asian Sunil syndicate. While some portals claimed that they got the rights for 70 crores, the latest news suggests that it cost them around 80 crores. Sources say that giving the Nizam rights of ‘Project K’ for 70 crores ratio may not work out for the producers.
Movies like ‘RRR’ and ‘KGF – 2’ were sold for the same ratio in the Nizam area and they brought more money than expected. That is why the team of ‘Project K’ is reportedly trying to up the prize. While the rights will be given to Asian Sunil, the grapevine suggests that the final prize is yet to be decided. The negotiations between both parties are still going on.
With the NRA system in the mix, the money is not going to be a huge problem. But we need to see how much advance will be given and how heavy the interests are going to be. As we know, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan is playing a key role in this pan-Indian project while Deepika Padukone is the female lead. Dani Sanchez Lopez is the cinematographer while Mickey J Meyer is the music composer. The makers recently released a special video ‘From Skratch’ where they made a unique tyre.
