The makers of ‘Project K’, starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan, had announced that the film would hit the screens on January 12 next year. However, with Big B still recovering from the injury he sustained on the sets of the movie, it is unlikely that the film will be ready before the said date.
According to an Indian Express report, a source close to the film unit said, ‘It is still not clear how long it would take Bachchan saab to resume normal shooting, and the director (Nag Ashwin) and producers (Vyjayanthi Movies) are in no hurry. They are putting no pressure on Bachchan Saab to resume shooting. They will wait for as long as it takes. But it is unlikely now that Project K will make its January 2024 release date.’
Amitabh Bachchan was severely injured while shooting for ‘Project K’ in Hyderabad. In a social media post, he revealed that he’s broken a rib during an action shot. ‘I have got injured, rib cartilage popped broke and muscle tear to the right rib cage, canceled the shoot, did Doctor consult and scan by CT at the AIG Hospital in Hyderabad and flown back home (sic),’ he wrote.
