Anubhav Sinha doesn’t see why Deepika Padukone’s 8-hour shift demand is controversial: ‘If you’re not okay with it…’

In a recent conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Anubhav shared his straightforward view on actors setting boundaries. “If an actor wants to work six hours a day and you’re not okay with it, then don’t work with that actor. It’s as simple as that,” he said, adding that collaboration in the film industry must be based on mutual agreement.Recalling his experience working with the late Rishi Kapoor on the 2018 film Mulk, Anubhav explained how flexibility and dialogue helped avoid conflict. Rishi had informed him after reading the script that he preferred not to shoot at night. Anubhav said, adding that they eventually negotiated and agreed on a limited number of night shoots. Although the count increased slightly during filming, the issue was handled amicably. Anubhav noted that it was delightful to work with him, adding that since he wanted Rishi in the film, scheduling adjustments were never a problem. About Anubhav Sinha and Deepika’s latest projects
