Deepika Padukone’s Work-Hour Demand Sparks Backlash, Industry Debate.

Mumbai: Veteran actor Deepika Padukone’s call for a formal eight-hour workday on film sets has become one of Bollywood’s most talked-about controversies of the moment. According to industry reporting, Padukone has been outspoken about the need to standardize working hours in Hindi film production — arguing that marathon shooting schedules compromise both quality and artist wellbeing.

Her stance has received mixed reactions:

  • Supporters in the industry, including actor Ashutosh Rana, have publicly backed her view, stressing that excessive long hours affect performance and creative output. Rana has gone on record insisting that discussions and pre-production planning should happen off-set to avoid unnecessary delays.

  • Critics argue the idea is impractical in the current production ecosystem, where tight budgets, weather constraints, and logistical challenges already squeeze shooting schedules. Some producers and crew members believe such a shift could slow down filmmaking or inflate costs.

Broader impact:
Padukone’s comments have reignited a longstanding debate about working conditions in Bollywood — from late-night shoots to inconsistent rest days — and whether formal regulations could better protect cast and crew without harming the industry’s commercial rhythm.
