Project K: Makers release new poster of Prabhas after major backlash

Nag Ashwin's directorial Project K aka Kalki 2898 AD has been all over the headlines ever since the first look poster of the movie was dropped. The movie starring mega stars like Deepika Padukone and Prabhas has been one of the most anticipated films. However, the fan excitement turned into disappointment soon after the first look of the Baahubali actor was released.

After facing backlash, seems like the makers have silently changed the poster with the major changes.

Backlash on first poster

On Wednesday (July 19), the first poster of the movie was released featuring Prabhas as the superhero.

He's wearing a grey colour armour suit, sporting a hair bun with a fiery look on his face. Soon after the poster was shared, disappointed fans were quick to slam the poor VFXwork.

The poster quickly went viral, with netizens calling it badly made and cartoonish.

After major trolling, makers have silently removed the first poster and have shared the new one with minor edits. In the latest version, a few changes have been made,

Prabhas is now looking away from the camera and in the background, the ruined buildings have been cleared and now there is only dust.

Actors Prabhas and Kamal Haasan released the teaser.
