Amitabh Bachchan reveals he had 'no idea what Comic-Con meant'

<p>The buzz around Deepika Padukone-Prabhas-starrer Project K is growing stronger with each passing day. On Wednesday, the Baahubali brothers -- Rana Daggubati and Prabhas -- reached the US. The entire star cast will soon land there for the grand unveiling of Project K at the San Diego Comic-Con event. However, it remains uncertain how Rana is associated with Project K, though the Baahubali actor has been rooting for Nag Ashwin’s directorial ever since its announcement. Project K involves Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Hasan, and Disha Patani in lead roles.</p>

<h2>Prabhas and Rana reach the US</h2>

<p>The producers of Project K, Vyjayanthi Movies, shared a picture of both the actors and gave an update on Prabhas and Rana Daggubati’s arrival in the US. Both the actors can be seen donning Project K’s huddie. A signboard saying Hollywood was seen in the background. “The men have landed in the USA. See you in San Diego on July 20th,” reads the caption. Watch the picture here:</p>

Prabhas, Rana Daggubati in US for Project K's teaser launch at San Diego Comic-Con

<p>In the wake of the ongoing strike by the Screen Actors Guild- American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA) in the US, Indian actress Deepika Padukone has opted out of the launch event of her upcoming film <em>Project K </em>at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Deepika is a member of SAG-AFTRA and will be missing the comic con as a member of the union. <em>Project K</em>'s first glimpse will be unveiled by the film's leading man Prabhas at the San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday along with actor-producer Rana Daggubati.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Deepika Padukone's tryst with Hollywood</strong></h2>

<p>Many would recall that Deepika Padukone made her Hollywood debut with <em>XXX: Return of Xander Cage </em>opposite Vin Diesel in 2017. Earlier this year at the 95th Academy Awards, Deepika had introduced <em>Naatu Naatu, </em>the Best Original Song Oscar-winner from SS Rajamouli's blockbuster <em>RRR.</em> Deepika is also a global ambassador of several fashion brands including Louis Vuitton.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>About <em>Project K</em>'s launch at Comic Con</strong></h2>

<p>Deepika will not be participating in the launch event as she is a member of SAG-AFTRA which has set out strike guidelines for all its members. According to the rules set out, members are not allowed to take part in any promotional event for any film or walk the red carpet for any event or film festival.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also see:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/first-look-poster-of-prabhas-for-project-k-out-take-a-look-stst-617429">First-look poster of Prabhas for Project K out; take a look</a></strong><br />
<br />
"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," the insider told news agency PTI.<br />
<br />
On the first day of the SDCC on July 20, <em>Project K</em> stars Prabhas and Rana Daggubati will unveil the film's official title, trailer, and release date. Kamal Haasan is also reportedly going to be a part of the launch event. At the Comic-Con, the film's production banner Vyjayanthi Movies will also host conversations and performances, providing audiences with a glimpse into 'India's vibrant culture and awe-inspiring world of science fiction'.</p>
