Late last month, Shantanu Deshpande, founder-CEO of Bombay Shaving Company, was slammed online after he, in a LinkedIn post, advised freshers to work 18-hour days during the initial years of their career and “not to do random rona-dhona” about the relentless hours. The post led to a wide discussion on unhealthy practices and toxic work culture. Among other things, it also put the spotlight on the Indian film industry where a 12-hour shift is a given. More importantly, when a crew is racing against time, it’s not uncommon for the shift to extend to 14 or 16 hours. In an attempt to course-correct, debutant producers Nicky and Vicky Bhagnani have mandated that the cast and crew will work only 10 to 12-hour days on the set of their next, Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness, which is currently being shot in the UK. While the shift hours align with that of the skilled worker category as per the UK laws, the producers have gone a step ahead to incorporate two-day weekends for the cast and crew.
