Discussion around the eight-hour shift rule has been ongoing in the film industry ever since reports surfaced that actress Deepika Padukone walked out of a film after her request for fixed working hours was denied. Several celebrities have voiced their opinion on the matter. Actress Keerthy Suresh who is promoting her upcoming film Rita Revolver, has now shared her thoughts on fixed working hour in the industry. Having worked across industries in India, Keerthy shared how each industry operates. 

Keerthy Suresh says Hindi and Malayalam industries follow 12-hour shift

During a press event for Rita Revolver, Keerthy was asked about her opinion on the shift hour debate. She said, “I do 9-5, 9-9, and 9-2 also. When I was doing Mahanati, I was shooting for five other films (Agnyaathavaasi, Saamy Square, Sarkar, Sandakozhi 2 and Thaanaa Serndha Koottam). There was a time when I was doing one film in the morning and one in night. I’ve also done shoots that are only 9–6. For me personally, I will work both."
