News Topical, Digital Desk : Deepika Padukone's demand for 8-hour shifts cost her two major films, Kalki 2 and Prabhas' Spirit. Sandeep Reddy Vanga initially posted a post, without naming the actress, in which he referred to her demands and even labeled her unprofessional. 

After a lengthy debate in Bollywood over whether an actor's shift should be eight hours, Deepika broke her silence on the matter in an interview yesterday. She clearly stated that there are many male superstars in the industry who not only work eight hours but also celebrate the weekend. Amidst Deepika's statement, an old statement by Abhishek Bachchan is now going viral, in which he clearly stated which male superstar doesn't stay on set for even a minute for eight hours. 

This actor packs up after 8 hours of shooting.

This viral video about shift timings in Bollywood was shared by a female fan of Deepika Padukone (Deepika Padukone Raw). The throwback features Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, and Riteish Deshmukh visiting Kapil Sharma's set for their film "Housefull 4." 

Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan revealed that Akshay Kumar is a stickler for time and doesn't stay on set for even a minute longer than 8 hours. He says in the throwback video, "The one who's most excited after pack-up is Akshay Kumar. He doesn't work for more than 8 hours. As soon as he arrives at 7 o'clock, he immediately starts working. 8 hours means he does everything on set." 

Fans came out in support of Deepika Padukone 

The female fan who shared this video, while supporting Deepika Padukone , wrote, "I don't understand why Deepika wants to work 8-hour shifts, why is this news. Akshay Kumar also follows his discipline and works 8-hour shifts, but when a female actress does this, it becomes a headline." 

However, fans also came out in support of Akshay, clarifying that he doesn't do intense films that require too much work. He's followed this principle since the beginning of his career. Regarding Deepika Padukone's upcoming projects, she will soon be seen in "King" alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
