He added, "Thank you all .. and thank you Nagi Sir, for thinking of me .. The humility, the respect and concern Prabhas has given me has been so so touching & emotional. Not for me, but for all those involved in 'Project K', may your hard work touch new horizons .. love and prayers."
Kicking off the SDCC celebration, Vyjayanthi Movies will offer fans a look at the film as part of an opening night party on July 19.
