India, Nov. 28 -- Ever since actor Deepika Padukone's exit from director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit and director Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD sequel, there has been a lot of conversation around work shifts. Now, while promoting her upcoming film Revolver Rita in Hyderabad, actor Keerthy Suresh explained why work shifts in the film industry are ideal for actors and technicians. Here's what she said. Keerthy told the press that she has worked various shifts throughout her career, sometimes even from 9am to 2am the next day. While shooting for Mahanati, she also worked on five other films, she revealed. But, she emphasised that for health reasons, it would be ideal to have an 8-hour shift. Explaining what a day looks like for most actors, she said, "For a 9 o'clock shift, if I have to be there by 7:30am, I have to start from home at 6:30am and wake up by 5:30am. And when you pack up by 6-6:30pm, you leave by 7pm to go back and change. By the time you reach back home, it's 8:15pm. We change and go to work out by 8:30pm, and by the time you're done, it's 10pm. You shower, have dinner, and it's already 11pm. Now, I have to wake up at 5:30am after sleeping at 11:30pm." She added how in Malayalam and Hindi, actors and technicians work longer hours with less time to sleep. "We say 8 hours of sleep is good, but we hardly get to sleep for 6 hours. And this is in an ideal 9-6 shift. Imagine us shooting for more hours, imagine the technicians reaching sets before and packing up after us," she explained, adding, "In Tamil and Telugu, we usually have a standard of 9-6. But in Malayalam and Hindi, they work for 12 hours. In Malayalam, they work without breaks in continuous schedules, and it's difficult. They sleep 3-4 hours, and lightmen in Kerala sleep 2-3 hours.HTC...
