Maharaj Director Backs Deepika Padukone's 8-Hour Workday Request: "Rani, Kajol Did It Long Before It Became A Debate"
New Delhi: As conversations around work-life balance and regulated shooting hours continue to grow in the film industry, filmmaker Siddharth P. Malhotra has shared his thoughts on the ongoing debate around 8-hour work shifts. What Recalling his own experiences, Siddharth pointed out that actors like Rani Mukerji and Kajol have long followed structured 8-hour workdays. He cited the example of Hichki, a film that was completed in just 28 days. The director said discipline and coordination on set are key, regardless of the number of working hours. "Every film has its own requirement. We shot Hichki with Rani and the kids in 28 days with 8-hour shifts. Everyone, from actors to spot boys-was aligned. Kajol used to do 8-hour shifts even back in 2010. Rani does it too. So what Deepika is saying isn't new. If a director needs a certain actor and they can only give 6 hours a day-so be it. It's about aligning expectations. It's not about ego; it's about efficiency," Siddharth told IANS. Background The 8-hour work shift discussion gained attention after reports surfaced about Deepika Padukone being "dropped" from the film Spirit. The actress was initially cast opposite Prabhas but reportedly was dropped from the project due to disagreements over various demands. These included a profit-sharing model, a fixed 8-hour workday, and other terms that did not align with the vision of director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Following her exit, Triptii Dimri was brought in as the new lead. Siddharth also addressed the issue of pay disparity in the industry. The Maharaj director said that while the conversation around equal pay has been going on for years, there has been some progress. He noted that actors like Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt are now among the highest-paid stars in the business. "The truth is, pay depends on your star power. The first few days of a film rely on the actor's draw. After that, it's the director's job to sustain interest. It's not just about gender- it's about economics. If an actor brings in a strong opening, they deserve that pay. It's business logic," he added. In A Nutshell Filmmaker Siddharth P. Malhotra has addressed the 8-hour shift debate, saying actors like Rani Mukerji and Kajol have followed such schedules for years. He added that efficiency and alignment matter more than ego. He also noted that actor pay is based on star power and box office draw, not just gender.

‘Maharaj' director backs 8-hour shift: ‘Rani, Kajol did it long before it became debate'
Mumbai: As conversations around work-life balance and shooting hours gain momentum in the film industry, filmmaker Siddharth P. Malhotra has weighed in on the ongoing 8-hour shift debate. Reflecting on his own experiences, he recalled how actors like Rani Mukerji and Kajol have been following structured, 8-hour workdays long before it became a trending topic. Citing the example of the film 'Hichki,' which was wrapped in just 28 days, Siddharth highlighted the importance of discipline and coordination on set regardless of the shift duration. Speaking to IANS, he said, 'Every film has its own requirement. We shot Hichki with Rani and the kids in 28 days with 8-hour shifts. Everyone—from actors to spot boys—was aligned. Kajol used to do 8-hour shifts even back in 2010. Rani does it too. So what Deepika is saying isn't new. If a director needs a certain actor and they can only give 6 hours a day—so be it. It's about aligning expectations. It's not about ego; it's about efficiency.' For the unversed, the ongoing debate around 8-hour work shifts gained traction after reports emerged about Deepika Padukone's exit from the film 'Spirit.' The actress was initially slated to star opposite Prabhas but reportedly stepped away from the project due to disagreements over certain demands. These included profit-sharing, an eight-hour workday, and other terms that reportedly didn't align with the filmmaker's vision. Following her exit, the makers brought Triptii Dimri on board as the new lead. Speaking about pay disparity in the industry, the 'Maharaj' director acknowledged that while the conversation has been ongoing for years, the landscape is gradually shifting. Pointing to top stars like Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt, Siddharth noted that they are now among the highest-paid actors in the business. According to Siddharth, remuneration in the industry is closely tied to an actor's box office pull. 'The truth is, pay depends on your star power. The first few days of a film rely on the actor's draw. After that, it's the director's job to sustain interest. It's not just about gender—it's about economics. If an actor brings in a strong opening, they deserve that pay. It's business logic.'
