Janhvi’s Comments Contradict Deepika’s Work-Hours Stand?

Although Deepika Padukone has not made any official statement regarding her stance on working hours in the film industry, she sparked a major controversy, with many opinions circulating around her name.

The producers who worked with her also confirmed the same. But several female actors either agreed with her or disagreed. Now, Jahnvi Kapoor stated that there is more planning down South than in Bollywood.

“I actually really appreciate the Telugu film industry’s respect for working hours. Lunch breaks are proper where everyone eats, rests, and comes back fresh. I don’t think I’ve ever shot more than 9–10 hours a day there. Even the night shoots come to an end by 2 AM. It is more pre-planned here, and the working hours are also less,” said Jahnvi.

Janhvi Kapoor previously worked on the biggie Devara, and Peddi is her second film. For Peddi, she shot extensively under tight timelines yet felt comfortable on the film’s set thanks to the manageable working hours. Many currently perceive this as contradictory to what Deepika has previously stated.

In fact, Deepika is not part of Kalki 2 because she is not happy with the long working hours in the industry. She even opted out of Spirit for similar reasons. But Jahnvi says that the Telugu films function at ease, with proper breaks and leisure. We have to see if there will be an elaborated discussion over the same.
