The acting powerhouses of Project K, Kamal Haasan and Prabhas, along with the film’s director Nag Ashwin and producers Ashwini Dutt and his daughters Swapna and Priyanka took part in Project K’s San Diego Comic Con event yesterday. Legendary Hindi actor Amitabh Bachchan, who couldn’t be part of the event physically, participated in the event via video conference.
However, the film’s leading lady Deepika Padukone gave a miss to the event. The star actress’ mysterious absence at Project K’s Comic Con disappointed fans big time. And here’s the reason why Deepika skipped Comic Con. Apparently, the ongoing actors’ strike in Hollywood prevented Deepika from attending Comic Con. Deepika is a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG).
The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) – the protesting unions that began the strike nearly 2 months ago against the labour laws in Hollywood, instructed its members not to attend any promotional events or shootings for their films until the strike is over. This prompted Deepika to back out of Project K’s Comic Con event.
