Daggubati added, “Nobody is forcing anybody. It’s a job. You can’t be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what’s important to them in their life.”

After Mani Ratnam & Kajol, Netflix's 'Rana Naidu' actor Rana Daggubati supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift: 'You can't be forced to...'

After Kajol, Ajay Devgn, and Mani Ratnam, Netflix’s ‘Rana Naidu’ actor Rana Daggubati has stood by Deepika Padukone’s 8-hour working shift amid the Spirit row.

The actor said, “It depends on the project, the person, and the region. For example, in Maharashtra, it’s a 12-hour shift, while in Telugu cinema typically has an 8-hour shift starting at 7 am. Everyone has a certain mentality, and the city also gives to certain things. You are seeing it as a generic statement - it is not. If you have to shoot on a set, it depends on how much prep you need. There are films taking place on a big spectacle where only two shoots take place in a day.”

Daggubati added, “Nobody is forcing anybody. It’s a job. You can’t be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what’s important to them in their life. There are actors who only work four hours a day - that’s their system of working. They end up doing more than what a guy in 8 hours does. It’s different for everybody, and it’s not a general discussion.”

After exiting from Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas’ biggie Spirit, the latest reports suggest that the actress has taken the same step for Kalki 2898 AD 2.

While the fiasco between  Deepika and Vanga  has been garnering headlines for quite some time, a new report has emerged discussing the actress’s demands for Spirit.

“The actor had reportedly demanded ₹25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source told News18.
