Project K production time

According to the information available from various sources, the production time of Project K is expected to take longer than usual. The film, which is being made on a budget of ₹600 crore (US$75 million), is one of the most expensive Indian films ever made. The film requires a lot of preparation and planning for the gadgets and property to be used in this science fiction film. 

Instead of shooting the entire film in a single stretch, the team divided its 80–90 days of shoot into 7–8 days every month.

The film is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 12 January 2024. Initially aimed for a 2022 release, it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and production works. The film will also be launched at San Diego Comic-Con on July 20, where the makers will unveil its official title, trailer, and release date. 

Project K is a sci-fi thriller that involves a futuristic setting, a deadly virus, and a superhero. According to IMDb, the film’s plot will revolve around “a modern-day avatar of Vishnu, a Hindu god, who is believed to have descended to earth to protect the world from evil forces.” The film stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani in pivotal roles.
