A Career Revival Amid Past Struggles
The premiere comes weeks after Depp opened up about his Hollywood exile following abuse allegations by ex-wife Amber Heard. In a candid interview with The Telegraph, he revealed feeling “dumped” by the industry, notably after being dropped from Fantastic Beasts in 2018. “They wanted me to resign… but I refused to retire,” he stated, calling himself a “crash test dummy for the #MeToo movement.”

Depp also expressed hurt over friends who distanced themselves during the scandal, including those who once attended his children’s parties. “People couldn’t stand up for me because they feared backlash,” he told The Sunday Times.
Legal Battles and Moving Forward
Depp and Heard’s tumultuous relationship culminated in a highly publicized 2022 defamation trial, where a jury largely ruled in his favor. “The jury gave me my life back,” Depp said afterward. Heard, now based in Spain, has since focused on raising her children.

Despite past turmoil, Depp is reclaiming his career. Following Modi, he starred in Jeanne du Barry (2023) and continues to pursue passion projects. The premiere of Modi not only highlights his artistic vision but also signals a resilient comeback for the iconic actor.
