Long before the Kalki 2898 AD and Spirit controversy, when Deepika Padukone made headlines by demanding shorter working hours

Deepika Padukone’s long -standing demand for more fair working hours and crew welfare, reportedly played a role in the exit of Kalki 2898.
Deepika Padukone is always open to creating a healthier, more balanced working culture in Bollywood. Long before the last release of 2898 AD, actor emphasized the need for fair working hours, crew welfare and mental health support in film sets.
Deepika at shorter working hours
In an past interview with Anupama Chopra, Deepika emphasized its vision for a more professional installation in the sector. “Starting, especially for the crew to regulate the hours we work for. If you provide people to work extra and continuously, it is done faster. My opinion is exactly the opposite – people will help you to return with better energy and increase the quality of business, people need to be interrupted and rest,” he explained.
In addition, Adil defended the payment of overtime and added: “The actors finally get away with prizes and recognition, and others in the top roles are moving away. However, the previously coming and then separated crew deserves fair treatment.
Output from Kalki 2898
Reports now show that similar concerns affect the decision to separate ways with Kalki 2898 ms. Producers made an official statement confirming the exit:
“This official announces that @Deepikapadukone will not be part of #kalki2898ad’s next sequel. After carefully evaluated, we decided to separate ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, a film like @kalki2898 deserves the best with commitment.
Industry internal arrival, Deepika claims that it demands a 25% wage increase with shorter working hours – situations that the team cannot meet. This points to the second high -profile output from a Prabhas project after leaving the Spirit earlier.
