Rana reacts to Deepika Padukone and Sandeep Vanga controversy. When Sandeep Vanga ousted Deepika Padukone from his film Spirit starring Spirit, it generated huge controversy with Bollywood claiming that Sandeep was merciless and demanded new mother Deepika to work for more than 10 hours per day. But Sandeep Vanga's version was different and he said that she was shunted as she demanded 10% share in profits and put many more conditions.
In the midst of all this, Rana speaking to a channel, spoke about Bollywood and South work culture. He said “It depends on the project, the person, and the region. For example, in Maharashtra, it's a 12-hour shift, while in Telugu cinema typically has an 8-hour shift starting at 7 am. Everyone has a certain mentality, and the city also gives to certain things. You are seeing it as a generic statement - it is not. If you have to shoot on a set, it depends on how much prep you need. There are films taking place on a big spectacle where only two shoots take place in a day."
He added “Nobody is forcing anybody. It’s a job. You can't be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what’s important to them in their life. There are actors who only work four hours a day - that’s their system of working. They end up doing more than what a guy in 8 hours does. It's different for everybody, and it's not a general discussion."
