'Thamma' actress Rashmika Mandanna on her working hours amid Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand: 'I tend to overwork because...'

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. More about that later. The whole of Bollywood seems to have spoken about the working hours amid Padukone’s demand of not contributing for more than eight hours.

In an interview with Gulte Pro, Thamma actress Rashmika Mandanna said, “Us glorifying over working is not good. I overwork, and I am telling you, it is not suggestible and sustainable. I tend to overwork myself because I take on so much more than a normal human being can, but I am not someone who can say no to my team.”

The actress added, “There will be location availability and time constraints. But if I could choose for myself, I would say, please don’t make us do that. This applies to all the crafts, not just actors.”

What Rashmika Mandanna said earlier

In an interview with Barkha Dutt, the actress said, “I do work in multiple industries which is for example, in the South – Telugu industry, Kannada industry, or Tamil industry, we work 9 am to 6 pm, like it’s our office hours. After shoot, we spend time with family, we go to sleep and we head to shoot the next day. In Hindi, I’ve realised it’s a 9 am to 9 pm shift. It’s 12 working hours so now as an actor, I am open to both of these working hours because this is what my firm requires.”

She added, “Today the whole country is debating about flexible hours and everything, but that is for discussion amongst the teams and figure out what works for them. It’s their personal choices, so that’s what I believe in. I feel like every film have to have that discussion and to be open to how many hours in the day they want to work.”
