Prabhas and Deepika Padukone starrer Kalki 2898 AD Part 1, which was previously known as Project K, is rumoured to be postponed. The film, which was launched at the San Diego Comic Con last week, is currently slated to release in January 2024. However, a report has now claimed that the filmmaker could delay the release of the film to the summer of 2024.

His films Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari and Mahanati had released on May 9 and emerged as massive blockbusters. Owing to this, it is possible that Ashwini could delay Project K’s release to May 9.

According to a report, Deepika Padukone, who is a member of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA), won’t be part of the event due to the ongoing strike by the union in the US.
