But my wishes for the celebration of this joyous festival is with you... May the colours of HOLI bring the multifaceted colours of life in your life... More later... But for now my gratitude as ever... (sic)."

Talking about 'Project K', the film is directed by National Award-winning director Nag Ashwin and also stars Deepika Padukone and Prabhas. While Deepika and Amitabh Bachchan have collaborated previously, this is Prabhas's first film with Deepika and Big B.

'Project K', which has been simultaneously shot in Telugu and Hindi, marks Deepika's Telugu film debut and also her first movie with Prabhas. The makers dropped the first look at Deepika earlier this year on her birthday. The film will hit theatres on January 12, 2024.
