The ongoing discussion about working hours in the film industry has once again grabbed attention, with actress Janhvi Kapoor sharing her experience of working in Telugu cinema. While Deepika Padukone has not made any recent official statement on the issue, conversations surrounding work schedules and shooting conditions continue to generate debate across the industry.

Speaking about her experience in Tollywood, Jahnvi Kapoor praised the professionalism and planning involved in Telugu film productions. According to the actress, film sets in the South generally follow structured schedules, making the working environment more comfortable for artists and technicians alike.

“I really appreciate the Telugu film industry’s respect for working hours. Lunch breaks are proper, everyone gets time to eat and rest, and then returns to work refreshed. I don’t think I have ever worked more than nine or ten hours a day there. Even night shoots usually wrap up by around 2 AM. Everything is planned better, and the working hours are comparatively shorter,” Jahnvi said.

The actress, who previously appeared in Devara and is currently working on Peddi, noted that despite shooting extensively under tight schedules, she found the work environment comfortable due to the organized planning.

Her comments have drawn attention because they come amid industry-wide discussions about demanding shooting schedules and work-life balance. Some observers have viewed Jahnvi’s remarks as presenting a different perspective on how Telugu film productions operate compared to concerns that have been raised in recent months regarding long working hours in certain projects.

Industry insiders point out that working conditions can vary significantly from one production to another, depending on the scale of the film, shooting locations, deadlines, and individual production practices. Jahnvi’s positive experience has nevertheless sparked fresh conversations about how different film industries manage schedules and ensure a balanced work environment for their teams.

With more actors speaking openly about workplace culture and shooting conditions, the debate surrounding work hours in Indian cinema is likely to continue, bringing greater focus to planning, efficiency, and the well-being of cast and crew members.
