The announcement and new poster was shared with fans on the occasion of Mahashivratri.

Deepika and Amitabh Bachchan both shared the release date announcement on their respective social media handles. Amitabh wrote on Twitter, “T 4561 – 𝟏𝟐-𝟏-𝟐𝟒 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬! #𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐊 Happy Mahashivratri (folded hands emojis).”

Deepika simply added on Instagram, “12.1.2024 #ProjectK Happy Mahashivratri! #Prabhas | @SrBachchan | @nagashwin7 | @VyjayanthiFilms.” They both shared a new look poster which shows a dystopian world where a large hand has fallen in the sand. Three people with weapons are surrounding it, maybe thinking it to be a threat.

Fans dropped red heart emojis on Deepika’s post. One fan shared, “Breathtaking! No other words can describe it!” While another fan wrote, “Wow” for the poster.
