Overview

  • Deepika Padukone’s reported exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit over an eight-hour working day demand prompted industry scrutiny of set hours for new mothers.
  • Kajol says she has always taken on one film at a time and avoided 20- to 30-hour shifts, with her mother and filmmakers adjusting schedules to her needs.
  • At the trailer launch of Maa, Ajay Devgn confirmed that most honest filmmakers now accommodate eight- to nine-hour shifts without issue for working mothers.
  • The horror thriller Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Devgn Films and Jio Studios, is set to open in cinemas on June 27.
  • Beyond Maa, Kajol’s upcoming slate includes the action thriller Maharagini, Karan Johar’s Sarzameen and the second season of her series The Trial.
