Venky Atluri asks Bollywood actors to adapt when they work in Telugu, cites Raveena Tandon's 14-hour workday as example

Filmmaker Venky Atluri said Bollywood actors must adapt to Telugu film industry work culture, citing Raveena Tandon's 14-hour workday on Vishwanath & Sons.

Raveena Tandon shot from 10:30 am to 12:30 am in Ooty for Vishwanath & Sons, a Tamil-Telugu film directed by Venky Atluri.

Vishwanath & Sons, releasing August 14, stars Suriya, Mamitha Baiju, Raveena Tandon, Anil Kapoor, and Radhika Sarathkumar.

Deepika Padukone's reported demand for an 8-hour workday on Telugu sets sparked industry debate; she explained it benefits crew and herself.

Venky Atluri refused to comment on specific film exits but emphasized respecting local work culture when working in Telugu films.
