Project K: Prabhas as indestructible force in FIRST look of Nag Ashwin directorial; Twitterati disappointed?

Finally, the first look of Prabhas from Project K has been released, and Twitter has a lot to say about this look. Deepika Padukone’s look from the film was already out and generated mixed responses. Now, Prabhas’ look seems to be getting a very similar response. On the one hand, the actor’s fans are praising their favorite for his ability to play larger-than-life characters. Well, this argument is sort of true when we consider that the actor was the lead in Baahubali and Adipurush.

Indeed, the popular opinion persists that Prabhas was unconvincing as Ram in Adipurush. But there is not much that the actor could have done regarding that film, as he was let down by weak writing. 

This time around, Prabhas is starring in a film made by a proven director. Nag Ashwin, whose last release was the highly acclaimed Mahanati starring Keerthy Suresh and Dulquer Salmaan, is trusted by Prabhas’ fans to give the actor a solid role. But the reactions to the first look of the actor from Project K have put some doubts in the minds of fans. It is truly sad how quickly the hype around a film can turn around with just one poster. 

Check out what Twitter thought about Prabhas’ first look from Project K

In just a few days, the original title of Project K will be out. Fans are eagerly excited about the film and have been coming up with various assumptions about what the film will be titled. The film has undergone multiple postponements; through all of them, the fans have stood by Nag Ashwin and his vision. 

Already, Project K has been referred to by many as a film that will be inventive in not just Telugu cinema but also Indian cinema as a whole. Just the fact that the makers chose to release the film’s trailer and title at a global event like San Diego Comic-Con is enough to get an idea of how ambitious the scale of Project K really is. 

Currently, the film is touted for release in early 2024. It is certain that whenever it is released, fans will flood to watch this Nag Ashwin spectacle. The film stars an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani. For Prabhas, Project K’s success is important, as his last few films have been duds at the box office. All his films after the Baahubali franchise failed to live up to people’s expectations.

If Prashanth Neel’s Salaar succeeds like the director’s previous film, KGF, and if Project K also turns out to be a hit, Prabhas will be back on track again. Right now, all signs point to Project K doing well; hopefully, that is indeed the case.
