Pankaj Tripathi shares his tackle affordable work hours amid Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga Spirit row

For starter, the Prabhas led movie was set to star Deepika within the lead. However, the actor confronted fairly the voluntary however unceremonious exit from the challenge, inside days of beginning work Reports advised that Deepika’s calls for included a fats ₹20 crore price, a refusal to mouth dialogues in Telugu and 8-hour work days. The final bit is the place the bone of rivalry lies.

During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Pankaj for one, affirmed how he’s a agency believer in drawing one’s boundaries and relaying the ‘no’, albeit politely. Recalling his personal early days when work would find yourself preserving him on set between 16 to 18 hours, he shared, “Kaam mein khiche jaa raha hai.16 ghanta-18 ghanta ho gaya main laga hua hu. Main bol bhi raha hu, actor jaa chuka hai. Labour ruka hua hai. (The work hours are getting stretched. I am working 16–18 hours straight. I’m even saying, the actor has left, there’s a labourer here now instead)”.

So what’s his route of decision? Communicating the issue, and placing one’s foot down. He added, “Phir laga nahi, abhi toh aap vinamrata purvak bol dijiye ki ‘Nahi, itna hi hoga. Humne commit ye kiya tha, commitment humari poori ho gayi. Ab dhanyavaad. Jo bacha hai, kal karenge.’ ( At this point, you should just politely say, ‘No, this is all that can be done. This is what we committed to, and we’ve fulfilled that commitment. Thank you. Whatever is left, we’ll do tomorrow’)”.

Coming again to the Deepika-Vanga row, following rumours of Deepika’s exit, the transfer was made sure with Triptii Dimri being introduced as the feminine lead in a single day, leaving no scope for decision. Not simply this, a barely-veiled and nearly direct assault at Deepika through Sandeep on his socials furthered soured the scenario — whose facet are you on?
