She argues these requests are not mere luxuries. They are essential for maintaining performance during grueling schedules. She highlights the long hours actors work. She emphasizes the need to respect their requirements. She also notes negotiation is possible for smaller productions. Bigger productions can accommodate more demands. <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/tanishaa-mukerji\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tanishaa Mukerji<\/a> has weighed in on the ongoing debate about actors\u2019 demands on film sets. She defended actors, saying their requirements\u2014like gyms, chefs, or vanity vans\u2014are not just luxury, but necessary given the long hours they work.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing pressures and perceptions<\/p>\n<p>In a talk with The Indian Express, Tanishaa discussed the ongoing debate about actors\u2019 demands on film sets, which some filmmakers say raise production costs. She said that while actors shouldn\u2019t pressure small-budget filmmakers, producers also shouldn\u2019t call them out for having tantrums. She stressed that the time and effort actors put into a project should be respected, and it\u2019s unfair to criticise their needs without considering the long hours they spend on set.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding long hours on set<\/p>\n<p>The actress also pointed out that it\u2019s unfair to judge actors for their so-called \u2018tantrums\u2019 without knowing how long they work. While stars like <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/akshay-kumar\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Akshay Kumar<\/a> may have a 9-5 schedule and then go to the gym, most actors spend 14\u201318 hours on set. Before calling requests for gyms or chefs in vanity vans unnecessary, it\u2019s important to consider how little time they have to manage meals, workouts, and personal care. She said these arrangements aren\u2019t luxuries\u2014they\u2019re essential for keeping up their performance during tough, long shoots.<\/p>\n<p>Stars, demands, and negotiation<\/p>\n<p>Tanishaa also explained that tantrums are part of being a star\u2014the bigger the star, the bigger the demands. She noted that for independent producers with a low budget, most actors are willing to negotiate and adjust. However, in bigger, corporate productions, stars naturally make more demands because the resources are available. Ultimately, she said, it\u2019s a matter of demand and supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tanishaa Mukerji addresses the debate surrounding actors&#8217; demands.
