Kamal Haasan recalls being a dance assistant 50 years ago; Talks about Project K

Prabhas starrer Project K with Filmmaker Nag Ashwin has been highly anticipated since its announcement. It is going to be one of the biggest Pan-Indian films which stars Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani in the lead. Now, Kamal Haasan will be joining the cast of Project K.

Confirming the news, Kamal Haasan said in an official statement said, “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 further added, “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 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.”

Meanwhile, director Nag Ashwin took to Twitter and called Kamal Haasan a legend. “This man is a legend…and a legend is what we needed for this role. Can’t wait to learn and make something timeless sir,” read the director’s tweet.
