In an official statement, Haasan confirmed the news, saying, "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 MPrabhas and 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. I am eagerly waiting for Project K. Whatever position the audience place me at, my primary quality is that I am a film buff. That quality will keep 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."
Nag Ashwin also expressed his enthusiasm over Kamal Haasan joining the film's cast. "For an actor like Kamal sir, who has done so many iconic roles, it's a huge honour to attempt to do something new. We are all super excited and privileged that he agreed to come on board and complete our world," he said.
'Project K' is a bilingual film shot in two languages, Hindi and Telugu, at several locations. Deepika will also make her Telugu film debut with this film.
