Ever since Deepika Padukone\u2019s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s Spirit and Nag Ashwin\u2019s Kalki 2898 AD sequel, there has been a lot of conversation around work shifts. While promoting her upcoming film Revolver Rita in Hyderabad, Keerthy Suresh <\/a>explained why work shifts in the film industry are ideal for actors and technicians. Here\u2019s what she said.<\/p>\n

\"Keerthy Keerthy Suresh backed Deepika Padukone in her demand for 8-hour shifts. A day in the life of an actor, as explained by Keerthy Suresh<\/p>\n

Keerthy told the press that she has worked various shifts throughout her career, sometimes even from 9 AM to 2 AM the next day. While shooting for Mahanati, she also worked on five other films, she revealed. But, she stated that for health reasons, it would be ideal to have an 8-hour shift.<\/p>\n

Explaining what a day looks like for most actors, she said, \u201cFor a 9 o\u2019clock shift, if I have to be there by 7:30 AM, I have to start from home at 6:30 AM and wake up by 5:30 AM. And when you pack up by 6-6:30 PM, you leave by 7 PM to go back and change. By the time you reach back home, it\u2019s 8:15 PM. We change and go to work out by 8:30 PM, and by the time you\u2019re done, it\u2019s 10 PM. You shower, have dinner, and it\u2019s already 11 PM. Now, I have to wake up at 5:30 AM after sleeping at 11:30 PM.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why an 8-hour work shift is ideal for technicians<\/p>\n

Keerthy then spoke about how in Malayalam and Hindi, actors and technicians work longer hours with less time to sleep. \u201cWe say 8 hours of sleep is good, but we hardly get to sleep for 6 hours. And this is in an ideal 9-6 shift. Imagine us shooting for more hours, imagine the technicians reaching sets before and packing up after us,\u201d she explained, adding, \u201cIn Tamil and Telugu, we usually have a standard of 9-6. But in Malayalam and Hindi, they work for 12 hours. In Malayalam, they work without breaks in continuous schedules, and it\u2019s difficult. They sleep 3-4 hours, and lightmen in Kerala sleep 2-3 hours. However, sleep is just as important as food or exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, Rashmika Mandanna also spoke about this<\/a> while promoting The Girlfriend and stated that while she has also worked long hours it\u2019s ideal for health reasons to have proper work shifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ever since Deepika Padukone\u2019s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s Spirit and Nag Ashwin\u2019s Kalki 2898 AD sequel, there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,4778,93,61,60,39952,90625,90626],"class_list":["post-162391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-deepika-padukone","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-keerthy-suresh","tag-keerthy-suresh-8-hour-shift","tag-keerthy-suresh-on-working-hours"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
