Tarun Mansukhani recently joined the promotional spree for his new film, Housefull 5 and sat down for a conversation with India Today. Among other questions, the filmmaker was asked about his views on the ongoing debate about Deepika’s demand for an 8-hour work shift, especially for new moms. He mentioned that he is open to the idea of an 8-hour shift, but the actor should, in turn, give extra days to complete the filming and discuss it in advance to ensure that the whole team can be prepared. In his words:
“You can’t come to me at 11 am and say, ‘Oh, I need to leave at 5.’ I have scenes to finish with other actors, a location that may not be available again, and a budget to look into.”
