After joining the film, Kamal Haasan expressed his excitement about working with director Nag Ashwin. He said in his statement, "50 years back when I was a dance assistant and an assistant director the name Ashwini Dutt loomed large in the production sector. Both 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 in, my primary quality is that I am a film buff. That quality will keep me 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."

According to India Times, 'Project K' is inspired by Mahabharata and Prabhas will play the role of modern-day Karna. Amitabh Bachchan will reportedly star as Ashwatthama. The makers of 'Project K' have not commented on these reports yet and have remained tight-lipped about the movie's plot.

Directed by Nag Ashwin, 'Project K' also stars Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan and Disha Patani. The movie will release in theatres on January 12, 2024.
