Priyanka Chopra is the new member to join the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, one of the biggest unions for Holly-wood celebrities. The actress dropped a post on Instagram, supporting the cause, despite the strike affecting her Hollywood film ‘Heads Of State’. The strike started gaining momentum on July 13. The first day of picketing kick-started on July 14, at midnight. Such an elaborate strike occurred for the first time in 63 years. After failing to achieve a new labour agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) declared a strike.
On July 14, Priyanka Chopra shared a post on Instagram, standing in solidarity with her Hollywood contempo-raries. “I stand with my union and colleagues. In solidarity, we build a better tomorrow,” she captioned her post. The textual layout read, “SAG-AFTRA Strong.” Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, barely any film and television pro-jects starring live performers will be produced until both parties arrive at an agreement. Additionally, actors will not be permitted to participate in any promotional outings such as red-carpet premieres or junkets.
Priyanka Chopra, a popular face in Hollywood, and also a SAG member might face difficulties in continuing her Hollywood projects amidst the SAG-AFTRA strike. After ‘Citadel’, PeeCee was roped in for director Ilya Naishuller’s action comedy ‘Heads of State’. According to reports, the shoot for the same had to be paused owing to the strike. An Instagram fan page claimed that Priyanka will be barred from starring in a movie or a television project until the SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP come to a mutual settlement and the actors stop the strike. It is pre-dicted that the strike will continue till early September. (Agencies)
