Meenakshi Chaudhary says she has done 18-hour shifts

In an interview with Variety, Meenakshi explained that filmmaking is a creative process and often involves challenges that make strict schedules difficult. She said, "While a little bit more discipline is required in the industry, this is a creative field; it can be hard to follow at times." Often, there are multiple people involved in this space, so it can get challenging. There are certain schedules where there is a limitation on the locations we have. I have done 18-hour shifts as well. I've done double call sheets because there's one film that is happening in the morning, and then there's another happening at night."
