He further added that he didn't know Vanga personally, but after watching Animal, he became a fan of his craft. "I didn't know him personally, but I became a fan.

Ram Gopal Varma says media exaggerated Deepika Padukone vs Sandeep Vanga issue
Director-producer Ram Gopal Varma reacted to the Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga row involving a debate about an eight-hour work shift in the film industry. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the popular filmmaker said the matter of having fixed working hours is strictly between the director and the actor. He also blamed the media for unnecessarily exaggerating the entire issue between Vanga and asked his stand on the entire issue, RGV said, "The whole thing (between Deepika and Sandeep) was a very exaggerated thing in my opinion. Because I can say, I want to work for 23 hours, and the actor can say I want to work only for one hour. That's their call. But how can one human being force another human being to do something? And they can agree to work or not work with each other... but that thing was just kind of blown up in the media."The 'Sarkar' director added, "When it comes to having fixed shift timings for actors, I really think that it is an agreement between two people. Each of them has a right to say what they want, and the other one has a right to refuse." Earlier this year, it was reported that Padukone left Vanga's 'Spirit' after he refused to comply with her demand to work for eight hours while simultaneously fulfilling her motherly duties. The 'Animal' director later shared a post, taking a veiled jibe at Padukone, referring to her as 'khundak me billi (an angry cat).'Padukone never commented on the issue. However, she later spoke about working with like-minded people, and those who value shared experiences and creative collaborations above everything actor has got a good lineup of films, including 'AA26xA6', 'The Intern' Hindi remake, 'Kalki 2898 AD Part II', and 'King', among others.- Ends IN THIS STORY#Deepika Padukone

'Animal' and 'Pushpa' fame Rashmika Mandanna on working hours debate amid Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Vanga fallout: 'In south, we work from...'
While the fiasco between Deepika and Vanga has been garnering headlines for quite some time, a new report has emerged discussing the actress's demands for Spirit read more After exiting from Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas' biggie Spirit, the latest reports suggest that the actress has taken the same step for Kalki 2898 AD 2. While the fiasco between Deepika and Vanga has been garnering headlines for quite some time, a new report has emerged discussing the actress's demands for Spirit. 'The actor had reportedly demanded ₹25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source told News18. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The debate has intensified as more and more actors are commenting on it. The latest one is Rashmika Mandanna. In an interview with Barkha Dutt, the actress said, 'I do work in multiple industries which is for example, in the South – Telugu industry, Kannada industry, or Tamil industry, we work 9 am to 6 pm, like it's our office hours. After shoot, we spend time with family, we go to sleep and we head to shoot the next day. In Hindi, I've realised it's a 9 am to 9 pm shift. It's 12 working hours so now as an actor, I am open to both of these working hours because this is what my firm requires.' She added, 'Today the whole country is debating about flexible hours and everything, but that is for discussion amongst the teams and figure out what works for them. It's their personal choices, so that's what I believe in. I feel like every film have to have that discussion and to be open to how many hours in the day they want to work.' According to the report, Sandeep 'believes actors speaking their own lines'. 'Contrary to speculation, her restricted filming schedule of under 8 hours a day was never the primary issue. In filmmaking, working hours are fluid and depend on location, lighting, and various technical factors. You could shoot for 2 hours or 8, depending on the scene. What truly matters is flexibility, collaboration, and respect for the craft. It's about commitment. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga believes actors speaking their own lines builds authenticity and emotional connect with the audience," the source added.
