In light of the ongoing Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike in the US, Indian actress Deepika Padukone will not attend the SDCC premiere of her new movie, "Project K."
The actor-producer, who is a SAG-AFTRA member, will reportedly miss the event to demonstrate support for the Hollywood actors union, the source said. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, an actor and producer, recently expressed support for the strike as well.
Last week, after failing to come to an agreement on a new contract with the studios and streaming services represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), SAG-AFTRA voted to join forces with the screenwriters under the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in the first-ever joint strike.
In 2017's "XXX: Return of Xander Cage," Deepika Padukone, at 37 years old, made her Hollywood debut alongside Vin Diesel. She gave "Naatu Naatu" from SS Rajamouli's hit film "RRR" the Best Original Song Oscar at the 95th Academy Awards earlier this year.
Prabhas and Kamal Haasan, Padukone's co-stars in "Project K," will announce the official title, trailer, and release date of the movie on 20 July, the first day of SDCC. Amitabh Bachchan is also featured in the film. Vyjayanthi Movies, the film's production company, will hold discussions and performances during Comic-Con, giving attendees a look at "India's vibrant culture and awe-inspiring world of science fiction."
According to a press release from the producers, "Project K" will be the first Indian movie to ever have its Comic-Con debut. This Nag Ashwin-directed, multilingual film also stars Disha Patani.
