Deepika Padukone Skips ‘Project K’ Launch at Comic-Con Amid SAG-AFTRA Strike

• Deepika Padukone is a member of SAG-AFTRA.
• SAG-AFTRA is on strike with Hollywood actors and writers.
• Project K is scheduled for release on January 12, 2024.

Deepika Padukone, who was scheduled to attend the San Diego Comic-Con for the launch of her upcoming film Project K, has opted out of the event due to the ongoing strike by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA).

The team of “Project K” was scheduled to attend the event for the film’s teaser and title launch. According to reports, lead actors Prabhas and Rana Daggubati have already arrived in the US to be a part of Comic-Con.

Despite being a member of SAG-AFTRA, Deepika Padukone decided not to attend the event as a sign of respect for the ongoing actors and writers strike.

In May 2023, Hollywood actors and writers staged a protest against the SAG federation, advocating for better labor laws.

Recently, numerous actors declared a strike as they were unable to reach an agreement with the federation regarding the signing of new contracts with prominent studios and streaming platforms.

Respecting the strike, the actress of “Pathaan” has also decided not to attend the significant event for her upcoming sci-fi film.

Nag Ashwin directs “Project K,” featuring Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Amitabh Bachchan in pivotal roles. According to India Today, the film is scheduled for release on January 12, 2024.
