Isha Koppikar, speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on work culture and hours debate.\r\nShe said &ldquo;We have a normal 12-hour shift. When you&rsquo;re signing the contract, decide it then- between the actor, and the producer. If the producer wants that actor, then the producer should fulfil the actor&rsquo;s demands. If you don&rsquo;t want to- can you afford to lose that actor? You can&rsquo;t say you want that actor and also expect them to work entirely on your terms. That doesn&rsquo;t work. If there&rsquo;s an actor who works according to your terms, take that actor. And if someone doesn&rsquo;t, then don&rsquo;t take them. I don&rsquo;t know what the problem is here,\"\r\nShe continued &ldquo;If you want an actress who works 8 hours, and then you want to make her work 16 hours, she won&rsquo;t do it. Then don&rsquo;t work with her. Work with someone else. So how is this the actor&rsquo;s fault? It&rsquo;s the producer&rsquo;s fault. You want a hit heroine. You want a superhit hero. Then superhit heroes and heroines will work on their own terms. We complicate our lives because we want the best, but we don&rsquo;t want to pay the best, and we still want to get the best out of the stars. How will it work that way?\"\r\nShe revealed &ldquo;10 films nahi milenge actors aapke hisaab se kaam karenge. Aur nahi karenge matlab unka pet bhara hua hai. (When actors don&rsquo;t have many films lined up, they might agree to work on your terms. And if they don&rsquo;t, it means their stomach is already full). So I don&rsquo;t see the problem,\"&nbsp;
