Priyamani Responds to Deepika Padukone’s 8-Hour Shift Proposal for Actors

Priyamani’s View on Deepika Padukone’s 8-Hour Shift Demand

Recently, Priyamani shared her thoughts on Deepika Padukone’s request for an 8-hour work shift while filming. This demand came after Deepika exited projects like Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s *Spirit* and Nag Ashwin’s *Kalki 2*, citing needs to balance her personal life.

Adjustments in the Industry

“It’s a subjective matter,” Priyamani commented, emphasizing the importance of flexibility in the industry. She added, “At times, adjustments are essential, and it’s perfectly fine to create space for them.” This sentiment resonates with many in the entertainment sector as they navigate work-life balance, especially for parents.

Deepika Padukone’s Perspective

In a recent interview, Deepika highlighted the disparity in treatment of male and female actors regarding work hours. She noted that male superstars often work an 8-hour shift without attracting media attention. “It seems that when a woman expresses the same request, it garners unwanted attention,” she remarked.

What’s Next for Deepika?

Post her exit from *Spirit* and *Kalki 2*, Deepika will star in *King*, directed by Siddharth Anand, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. Additionally, she is set to appear in Atlee’s forthcoming film, *AA22xA6*.

Upcoming Projects for Priyamani

Priyamani is set to appear alongside Manoj Bajpayee in the third season of *The Family Man*, which will be available soon on Prime Video. This new season promises to be an exciting addition to the acclaimed series.
