Ever since Deepika Padukone has quit Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, people like Kajol, Ajay Devgn, Mani Ratnam, Rana Daggubati have supported her stand. 'Housefull 5' director Tarun Mansukhani has done the same recently but his choices of words are getting mixed reactions.
The director said, 'You can't come to me at 11 am and say, 'Oh, I need to leave at 5.' I have scenes to finish with other actors, a location that may not be available again, and a budget to look into.'

He added, 'I want to go home and spend time with my dog. So I get the vibe and totally get the feeling. But just put it in the contract from the beginning, then everyone's prepared.'
One wrote- 'The answer is very kiddish. An 8-hour contract is the actress's demand, if you can go with it then ok. If you can't go with it, look for other options professionally. Instead these people are questioning her about how she can do it. Comparing dog with family and her first kid. Omg.'
Housefull 5
As Housefull 5 has released in cinemas and doing reasonably well at the box-office, Akshay Kumar stepped out for the public review at the popular Gaiety cinema in Bandra, Mumbai wearing the mask the killer wears in the comedy.
He even shared the video on his Instagram and wrote- 'Bas yun hi I decided to wear the killer mask and interview people coming out of the Housefull5 show at Bandra today. Pakda jaane wala thaa end mein but bhaag gaya us se pehle. Mast experience.'
One wrote- 'Last Me Mask Hatakar Dhamaka 😍 Dena Chahiye Tha.' Another said, 'Kya log hai itni clear voice nahi pehchaan sakte kaash me waha hoti.'
