Amid Deepika-Sandeep row, Ajay comfort with
8-hour shift for
“New Moms”
In the midst of the Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga row, Ajay Devgn asserts that honest filmmakers okay with 8-our shift for his “New Moms”
Meanwhile Kajol reacted to new moms in the film industry demanding an 8-hour work shift. Ajay Devgn added that most sensible filmmakers are supporting it
Earlier today, Thursday, 29 May, Kajol was spotted at the trailer launch of her upcoming film “Maa”. When the actress was asked on her reaction to the ongoing 8-hour work shift demand by new mothers in the film industry. Kajol responded saying that she loves the idea of working less when Ajay Devgn added how most sensible filmmakers will be okay with it.
The context for the question is Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Deepika Padukone’s ongoing feud following the actress being dropped from film “Spirit”. One of the many reasons behind the Deepika Padukone making an exit from the project was her demand for a 6-hour work shift which did not go down well with the filmmaker.
On being asked by the media person on new moms in the film industry and their demand for an 8-hour shift, Kajol voiced that bl she loves the idea of working less.
As per Ajay Devgn it’s just that it’s not going down well with people.
Many people understand that many of the honest filmmakers would not have a problem with it.
Also, other than new moms working for 8 hours, most people have started working for 8 hours. Sandeep feels it’s person to person, and most of the industry understands.
Coming to Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Deepika Padukone Fallout
Deepika Padukone walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-anticipated film Spirit, after which Triptii Dimri was officially announced as the leading lady of the film.
Subsequently, Deepika Padukone was tagged as “unprofessional” for her demands which included working for a
6-hour shift with a newborn at home. The actress had also charged a massive fee of Rs 20 crore, along with a profit-sharing settlement and refused to deliver her dialogues in Telugu.
Due to creative differences and “unreasonable” clauses, a replacement for Deepika Padukone was thought of.
Even Sandeep Reddy Vanga had reacted strongly to the situation, on a note he put up on X.
The post read, “When he narrates a story to an actor, he reposes 100% faith. There is an unsaid NDA(Non-Disclosure Agreement) amid them.
As a filmmaker, he put years of hard work behind his craft & him, filmmaking is everything. You didn’t get it. You won’t get it. You will never get it.”
On the professional front Kajol’s next titled Maa, sees her step into the world of Ajay Devgn’s Shaitaan.
The plot is around maa who explores the timeless battle amid times and evil, to protect her daughter.
The film is slated to hit the theatres on June 27, 2025.
In A Nutshell
Kajol responded to new moms in the film industry demanding an 8-hour work shift, as she attended the trailer launch of her next film Maa. Ajay Devgn, who was also present, added that most sensible filmmakers are supporting it and are okay with it.
