India’s storytelling tradition has ancient roots, with its epics serving as the origins for many civilizations worldwide. A world as big as this needs a platform as big to introduce it to the people.

Deepika Padukone was supposed to attend the event along with Prabhas and Kamal Haasan. According to reports, Deepika will not attend the launch of 'Project K' at the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) in the wake of the ongoing strike by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA) in the US. She is a member of SAG-AFTRA and the union has reportedly specified that actors cannot provide promotional or publicity services.
"With the SAG-AFTRA strike underway, the union has specified that actors cannot provide promotional or publicity services. That extends to appearances at conventions, such as the San Diego Comic-Con. Accordingly, as a member of SAG-AFTRA and in line with their membership regulations, Deepika Padukone will not be attending," an insider from the film industry was quoted as saying by PTI.
'Project K' will release in theatres on January 12, 2024. The movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Disha Patani.
