In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Rakesh Bedi opened up on an actor\u2019s work-life balance amid Deepika Padukone\u2019s 8-hour shift demand, something that has been dissected by the entire fraternity<\/p>\n

Veteran actor actor Rakesh Bedi has been a part of the Hindi film industry for the last four decades. He\u2019s all set to play a crucial role in Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar\u2019s Dhurandhar that releases in cinemas tomorrow.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, Rakesh Bedi opened up on an actor\u2019s work-life balance amid Deepika Padukone\u2019s 8-hour shift demand, something that has been dissected by the entire fraternity.<\/p>\n

The veteran actor said, \u201cIt\u2019s not possible in creative fields. If you have to set up a shot, erect a set, it will take at least\u00a06 to7 hours. But you should be compensated if you are working extra. I will stick to that. But it seldom happens in the creative field.<\/p>\n

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD<\/p>\n

In television, we are meeting deadlines all the time. We don\u2019t plan in advance. We have seen actors fainting on the sets and people don\u2019t know what to do. And the payments come after three months. We have not picked up the good stuff from the West. It\u2019s time we do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his character and Ranveer Singh\u2019s<\/strong> similarities with\u00a0
\nMajor Mohit Sharma<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not much is revealed about the dense plot and dark characters going by the trailer. But Bedi has spilled the beans he plays a Pakistani politician. The actor was quoted saying, \u201cMy character is a replica. Even if you make a love story of a spy, there could be similarities. If a girl elopes from her house, is caught by the police and killed, and she becomes a victim of what we call Love Jihad, this is something we read so much in the newspapers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a spy film so there can be many parallels. Even I don\u2019t know the inside story. I don\u2019t know the story of Major Mohit Sharma. We all seek inspiration from somewhere. But I am quite sure of one thing that everything is inspired in some form or the other,\u201d added Bedi.<\/p>\n
