 "'Homebound' actor Ishaan Khatter on work-life balance amid Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift: 'It takes the crew members longer to go back home and...'")
After exiting from Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas’ biggie Spirit, the reports said that the actress had 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.
Ishaan Khatter weighs on the debate
Ishaan Khatter was quoted saying, “To be considerate is to understand that it’s a very privileged position to be in as an actor - to be able to say that I’m okay to work these many hours. But there are people in the crew who come in an hour before you.”
The actor added, “And they have to pack up and leave later. It takes them longer to go back home, so you need to be considerate of the working environment, and decisions should be taken accordingly, I think. That’s one thing.”
Without taking Deepika Padukone's name, Khatter also said, “But what we do is a profession of passion, and often you see people consensually wanting to finish the day’s work and not go home without completely completing their desire and imagination.”
“And letting it come to life the way they want. So it happens. But yeah, I think the thing that’s important is to be considerate of everybody’s time and effort,” the actor added.
Triptii Dimri officially replaced Deepika in Spirit as Vanga announced on social media. He also took a dig at the Chhapaak actress and slammed her for her ‘dirty PR games’ and for revealing some parts of her film’s story.
