Deepika Padukone’s Chhapaak co-star Vikrant Massey is ready to reduce his fees to adapt 8-hour work shift: ‘It’s a give-and-take’
After Deepika Padukone grabbed all the eyeballs for demanding an 8-hour work shift for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, Vikrant Massey stood in her support and wished for the same.
Deepika Padukone started a new debate in the industry after the demands she put forth for being a part of Spirit. One of those demands was an 8-hour working shift so that she could take care of her newborn daughter, Dua. Many from the industry have stood in support of the actress and the latest person to stand with her is her Chhapaak co-star Vikrant Massey.
Vikrant Massey on an 8-hour work shift
Talking to Firstpost, Vikrant Massey expressed solidarity with Deepika Padukone’s stance. Despite agreeing to the fact that implementing an 8-hour work shift in Bollywood will be very difficult, Vikrant stated that he wants to push for this change. He confessed that he wished to do something similar in a couple of years. “I want to go out and say, we can collaborate, but I would only work for eight hours. But at the same time, it should be a choice. And if my producer cannot accommodate that, because there are also a lot of other things involved when you are making a film…”
Vikrant further revealed that money plays a very important role and he will have to reduce his fees as he will only be working for 8 hours instead of 12. “If I cannot give my producer twelve hours a day, I cannot go out there and not reduce my fee. I ought to reduce my fee. It’s a give-and-take, right? And as a young mother, I think she (Deepika) deserves it.”
