Rani Mukerji Cites 6-7 Hour Shoots to Show Mother-Friendly Schedules Can Work

Her Hichki example follows reports of Deepika Padukone leaving Spirit over an eight-hour request.

Overview

  • Rani Mukerji described planning her Hichki shoots around breastfeeding, with her daughter Adira at 14 months.
  • She said she left home at 6:30 am, began shooting by 8 am, wrapped by 12:30–1 pm, and reached home by around 3 pm.
  • Mukerji credited an organized crew and director for enabling a six-to-seven-hour day during that period.
  • She argued that fixed or shorter hours are feasible when agreed with producers, calling it a matter of choice for both sides.
  • Her remarks add to the industry discussion that intensified after reports of Deepika Padukone exiting Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit, starring Prabhas, over an eight-hour workday request.
