Actress Deepika Padukone, whose first look from the upcoming sci-fi epic Project K was released recently, is set to give a miss to the grand event organised for the film at the San Diego Comic-Con to be held on July 20. The reason behind the actress not attending the event is the ongoing Hollywood strikes by SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). Project K: Kamal Haasan Joins Prabhas and Rana Daggubati Ahead Of Film's Launch At San Diego Comic-Con (View Pic).

The actress will skip the event as a show of solidarity with the film, television and radio artistes in the US, who are on a strike in the wake of increased dependency on artificial intelligence and the decrease in residual incomes by the big Hollywood studios. Earlier, the other cast members of the film like Prabhas and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan along with Rana Daggubati landed up in San Diego to attend the grand launch event of the film at SDCC.

The SDCC celebration will commence with an exciting panel featuring special guests Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan and Prabhas alongside Nag Ashwin, on July 20. During this panel, the creators of Project K will unveil the film's title, trailer, and release date, treating the audience to a truly immersive experience on Comic-Con's grandest stage.

Project K is a multi-lingual sci-fi film produced by Vyjayanthi Movies. The highly anticipated sci-fi drama has become a major talking point, not just in the Indian film industry but globally.  The filmmakers are gearing up to unveil the teaser and the official title of Project K at the H Hall at San Diego Comic-Con marking another milestone in the Indian film industry's history. Project K: Deepika Padukone to Skip San Diego Comic-con Convention Thanks to SAG-AFTRA Strike - Here's Why.
