Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan is quite upbeat about being part of the upcoming big-budget movie Project K. After weeks of speculations, on Sunday the producers confirmed that Kamal is, indeed, the latest addition to the film's already star-studded cast. 

And Kamal expressed his excitement to be collaborating with seasoned producer Ashwini Dutt for the first time, although they have been industry for over five decades now. "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," he added. 

Kamal will be joining Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone on the sets of Project K soon. 

"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. 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 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," he said. 

Prabhas called it an "honour" to share the screen space with the legendary actor while announcing the news. "A moment that will be etched in my heart forever. Honored beyond words to collaborate with the legendary Kamal Haasan sir in #ProjectK. The opportunity to learn and grow alongside such a titan of cinema is a dream come true moment," Prabhas wrote on his Facebook page.

Amitabh also tweeted welcoming Kamal onboard Project K. "Welcome Kamal .. great working with you again .. it’s been a while !," he tweeted. 

Project K is an expensive science fiction, which is written and directed by Nag Ashwin. Bankrolled by Vyjayanthi Movies, the film is expected to arrive in cinemas next year.
