Some time ago, Deepika Padukone suddenly walked out of Prabhas’ “Spirit.” Before that, she had also reportedly stepped away from “Kalki 2.”
Later, several reports claimed that work hours were one of the reasons behind these developments.
It was widely reported that Deepika had put a condition that she would work only for eight hours a day. Due to this condition, there was talk that she was removed from these projects.
This also raised a discussion about working hours in Tollywood. Do actors have to work for 12 to 14 hours a day? Are shoots conducted throughout the day without proper breaks?
Janhvi Kapoor has now responded to this topic indirectly.
As part of “Peddi” promotions, Janhvi spoke highly about the working culture in Tollywood. She said the Telugu film industry gives proper importance to working hours and comfort on sets.
“The work culture in Tollywood is superb. Here, they give a lot of importance to working hours. During lunch break, everyone takes rest. After that, they work again with double energy. As far as I am concerned, I have never worked for more than nine hours a day,” Janhvi said.
Janhvi has worked in Telugu films “Devara” and “Peddi.” According to her, she never worked for more than nine hours on the sets of these two films.
With these comments, Janhvi seems to have indirectly countered the talk surrounding Deepika Padukone’s work-hours condition.
