HYDERABAD: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Saturday began filming for a multilingual sci-fi movie, headlined by actors Prabhas and Deepika Padukone, in Hyderabad.

Filmmaker Nag Ashwin, known for helming the National Award-winning 2018 biographical drama 'Mahanati', is directing the project, which has been tentatively titled 'Project K'. According to the makers, Ashwin will be canning crucial sequences featuring the 78-year-old icon and other actors during the film's first shooting schedule at Ramoji Film City (RFC).

Prabhas took to Instagram and shared an image of the film's clapperboad. ''On this #GuruPurnima, it is an honour for me to clap for the guru of Indian cinema! It now begins!! #Projectk,'' the 'Baahubali' star wrote. Bachchan shared the same picture on his Instagram page, saying it was his privilege that Prabhas gave the clap for his first shot.
