In a noteworthy move, filmmaker Karan Johar has decided to put the brakes on his upcoming film production indefinitely to extend support to Deepika Padukone, who is currently on maternity leave. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the duration of this delay, Johar is emphatic about prioritizing Deepika’s health and sees this as a positive shift in the industry’s treatment of female actors.
Contrary to this, it appears that the creators of the American series “The White Lotus” may not wait for Deepika Padukone’s return for Season 3, as reported by Timesnow. Nevertheless, Karan Johar, according to Zoom, has chosen to postpone his next production to accommodate the talented actress.
Reportedly, Johar is eager to cast Deepika Padukone in a significant role in an upcoming film. Despite Deepika expressing her willingness to proceed without waiting for her, Johar insists on allowing her the time she needs, emphasizing that her role as a mother is currently her primary focus. When discussing the project with Deepika, Johar mentioned that there is no rush, given the multitude of other projects he is concurrently managing.
This is not the first time Karan Johar has adjusted production schedules to accommodate maternity needs. The filming of “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” was delayed by nearly a year to facilitate a song shoot in Kashmir featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. Johar’s commitment to supporting actors during significant life events underscores a growing trend towards a more understanding and considerate approach within the film industry.
