In the world of cinema, strikes have a way of disrupting the best-laid plans, and the ongoing Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike is no exception. With negotiations at a standstill and no end in sight, several high-profile projects have been left in limbo, and the latest addition to this list is the much-anticipated movie, Challengers. With so many upcoming movies taking a standstill because of the strike, the $50 million movie is no exception to the effect of the SAG strike.

The strike, which began as a response to unfair pay and working conditions for actors, has now snowballed into a full-blown crisis, affecting not just the actors, but the entire film industry.

With its powerful narrative and ensemble cast of talented actors, the film has been generating considerable buzz since its announcement.
