Manav Gohil Defends Long TV Work Hours

MUMBAI- Actor Manav Gohil, who has been a part of the television industry for years, shared his views on the excruciatingly long working hours.

The ‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii’ actor said that the format of television is such that one needs to produce a large volume of content within a short span of time.

“It is similar to playing cricket under the sun—you cannot avoid it if you want to play the game. If the lead actor does not give enough time, shooting becomes difficult. So, long hours are part of the process”, he went on to explain.

He added that despite the requirement of the format, there can be significant improvement in the facilities given to the actors and technicians.

Work-wise, Manav was recently seen as Sushant Bansal, the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Bureau, in Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’.

He pointed out that ‘Dhurandhar’ represents a more evolved form of cinema. “I think times are changing. Dhurandhar represents a more global and evolved form of cinema. Audiences today are more aware, and they do not appreciate films made purely for profit,” said Manav. (IANS)
