Farah Khan disagrees with Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand as actress Radhika Madan says she worked 48 hours non-stop: 'This is how gold is...'

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.

Now Farah Khan paid a visit to actress Radhika Madan’s house and asked her about the actress’ earlier days in television. Madan revealed, “The moment the camera was switched on, I felt very safe. I never felt that safe in my life. I wanted to be a professional dancer. The way I used to feel on the stage, you can’t see anyone else, I felt the same in front of the camera. I thought of course mujhe nahi lenge, but within three days I got a call for a look test and within 2 days, I was shooting for my first show.”

When Farah asked, “You didn’t have an 8-hour shift, I am guessing?", Radhikka replied, “56 hours non-stop or 48 hours non-stop." At this point, Farah hinted that even she does not support an 8-hour work shift and shared, “Aise tapke hi toh sona banta hai (this is how gold is made)."

According to the report, Sandeep “believes actors speaking their own lines”. “Contrary to speculation, her restricted filming schedule of under 8 hours a day was never the primary issue. In filmmaking, working hours are fluid and depend on location, lighting, and various technical factors. You could shoot for 2 hours or 8, depending on the scene. What truly matters is flexibility, collaboration, and respect for the craft. It’s about commitment. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga believes actors speaking their own lines builds authenticity and emotional connect with the audience," the source added.
