- When one thinks about the topic of Nepotism and why its problematic in the film industry, people restrict the debate to #bollywood AKA Hindi Cinema, but one often sidelines the fact that the biggest stars from #telugu #tamil and #malayalam cinema also come from film families! I hope you like the video on the topic of Nepotism across industries!

Nepotism is not about talent. It’s about misuse of influence
That used to be the case. But people are using the tag of "nepotism" to troll or bash even those star kids who have genuine talent. They cannot help that they were born into film families. People should judge them on their talent and not who their father or mother is.
One cannot really determine objectively how its done but you are right about several cases where actors have felt cornered or ignored, especially at a time where they are commercially viable and at their peak
@@bhargavipbanobody is questioning the roots of sugar babies. We are against campism, gangism and lobbyism- why was radhika madan not selected in soty 2? Why was tapsee pannu replaced with nepokid lullanya pandey in ppaw 2? Sara ali and junior shroff continue to be cast as lead in spite of shitting on the sets
Very well said
@@mayankshuklla2251 thanks
One thing I've noticed frequently is when someone points out the rampant nepotism that exists within southern film industries the fans of these stars always say that those actors have proven themselves by their acting. Whereas the point is they could prove themselves mainly because they kept on getting new movie offers even after giving flops. But for an outsider that's impossible , one flop and you'll be erased out of the industry map.
The success of the likes of Allu Arjun, Ram Charan and Junior NTR warrants respect but the years in refining the craft is also a result of their privilege!
@TriedRefusedProductions well jr. Ntr had a phase of continuous flops, but before such streak, he has already proven himself as a gifted actor, more than a star, through rakhi, adhurs, simhadri etc..
No. Ravi Teja, an outsider has given back to back flops, still he got movies. He neither reduced his fees too.
Same goes for Gopichand.
It's only in bollywood that outsiders don't get chance after flop. Even if, their roles will change to be a side character
@@Z71990that was because he was atleast relevant and was already accepted before his series of flops came in
@@Z71990 gopichand is not an outsider
4:56 As a telugu person, I completely agree with you. Tollywood is dominated by those 5 families.
For years they have been but thanks to ott and outsiders like nani vijay devarakonda adivi sesh nikhil for wisely choosing scripts and making it big lekapothe villani tokki villa scripts aa family ki istaru
@@dheeraj009.1 yes, baaga cheppav brother
@KPS..How sweet of you.. So can you tell me how did they dominate the industry?
do something about it idk why people even let this happen these people behaves like gangs, this is why india isn't developing because of nepotism in every industry.
@@lola-to9om Wow.. What an observation!!
As late Sushant singh Rajput once said that nepotism as long as it is in its own space is fine. When the privileged start forming lobbies to start bending the industry to their will, it gets toxic and hostility against newcomers would be apparent and ultimately, the independent/individual talent will bear the brunt which is the harsh truth today.
And nobody listened at that point 😞
@@sriramsakura absurd argument than what about nawajuddin Siddiqui irfan khan rajkumar rao
@@sriramsakura Caste? Depsite Sushant’s caste, he got 0 recognition for his good work from bollywood biggies. Bollywood itself is a religion for the film families like kapoors, bacchans etc
This Sushant Singh Rajput thing has been flogged to death to the point of extreme irritation. Especially as a fashionable cause.
He wasn’t a good actor either. It is time his ghost is laid to rest. RIP.
@@sriramsakura what an illogical question ? Just because he was from upper class he shouldn't have complaint about what's going wrong ? If lower caste nepo kids doesn't exist or getting media highlight then it's not his fault .
Lack of good writers is a bigger problem than nepotism
and directors! There are literally 4-6 among the big commercial projects
Thats why their are soo many Remakes of hollywood and Tollywood movies
@@TriedRefusedProductions would love to add good lyricist and music producers as well
Exactly bro
Its cuz they are underpaid
Just FYI, I wouldn't put Ranveer and Deepika as self made stars. Their families might not be directly in the industry, but had enough resources and connections to get them projects. For me, someone like Rajkumar Rao and Ayushman are much more impressive in terms of starting from nothing.🔥
Mrunal and Sanya among the girls!
@@TriedRefusedProductions But I still think Deepika has her own share of struggle she did modeling and then ventured in the acting
Not for Ranveer for sure but you cannot include DP in that conversation ! She was daughter of sports legend Prakash Padukone , still she chose a different career venture from modelling & then to acting in which she has been consistently prevelant in the industry after 15 years of hardwork , working more on her acting skills bettering herself everyday ! Yes she came from upper middle class but she was never given everything on platter ! She made herself way up through years to get where she is now !
@@sarcasticsree yes, atleast ranveer is related to someone inside the industry. One needs to understand how close-knit film industry can be and how they wouldn't give shit about Indias biggest badminton players daughter. I would be surprised if anyone in films knew who he was.
@@TriedRefusedProductions Neha Sharma as well
This reminds me of Rohit Shetty saying he gave the role to Sara Ali Khan just because she came to his office asking for it 😢😅
The fact that Shivajirao Gaikwad aka Rajnikanth is actually an outsider in the South Cinema. He earned soo much fame that his fans literally worship him in South India. ❤
Only in tn lol
Only in TN and only by people who don't know he's not Tamil. It's interesting to note that this outsider ruined the image of Tamil films during a certain period by making cringy ass dialogues, cringy acting and cringy plot.
Rajini is not a Tamil cinema asset. He's a liability.
Because of kollywood(tamil film industry). It is difficult to survive in tollywood if you are an outsider.
By remaking Amitabh bachchan films
@@samuraijosh1595 So you wrote, directed and starred in an academy award winning movie or what? lol 😂
I am glad that outsiders like Siddhant Gupta (Jubilee), Barun Sobti (Asur), Pratik Gandhi (Scam 1992), Karan Thacker (Khakee: the Bihar Chapter) have been offered roles that make a difference. People blaming big producers and studios that they are not giving chance to outsiders must be grateful that we did not had to watch the afore-mentioned talented individuals debut in cringe commercial movies. It's just my view- considering the fact that OTT has opened the floodgates of intelligent, sensible and highly engaging writing, a talented outsider wanting to make a mark would benefit if he chooses a good script over making a flashy but forgettable theatrical debut in a mass movie!
Let me tell you that all of them have been in the Industry for more then a Decade and are getting recognition now. Prateik Gandhi has worked in numerous Gujarati movies n plays. Barun Sobti has played a lead in TV - Iss pyaar ko kya naam du. And the list is long.
@@a.k.p.4061 I agree with what you have said. But think of this entire thing this way- atleast they are getting recognition for work that matters. Imagine anyone of them had to debut in a cringe movie like Student of the Year 2 or Simbaa which launched some of the star kids, would have they gotten a chance to leave a mark?
PS- Barun Sobti was a television actor before he ventured into movies. I don't know why you have pointed him out specifically in relation to my comment. He has not been in the movie business for a long time. Also my comment was directed towards Hindi movie industry specifically. Prateik Gandhi too has ventured into the Hindi movie business fairly recently (in 2018).
The digital boom definitely has helped many talented actors come in the forefront and I think that is a genuine victory. This utopia of thinking that everyone will transition to become a bankable leading hero is rather far fetched. One can still be fully satisfied in their hermit kingdoms!
I kinda agree with you. Ott had been a blessing when it comes to story telling.
Also add Avinash Tiwari and Tripti Damri. And yes there are so many good talent in TV but they always consider them less than movies
its also important to note that there are levels of nepotism, people like shahid kapoor and vicky kaushal are from families associated with the film industry but it was not as easy for them as it was for ranbir or alia to debut and sustain in the industry, they are doing it purely by their hard work and talent
similarly ranveer's dad is super rich and has many connections in Bollywood, he even financed band baja baarat so his journey was not as hard as maybe a rajkumar
You are bang on. Also, I think its largely indicative of how their 'LAUNCH' goes! Ishq Vishk was not nearly as publicised and big as Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Saawariya was an EVENT vs Band Baaja being a lowkey Yash Raj gamble!
Ranveer singh cousin with Sonam how on earth he is outsider .
Ananya,jhanvi,sara,arjun, they can finish even a good script,thats how useless they are
Ranveer Singh Is the son of Sonam Kapoor's mum's cousin. But they still to date claim ji he is an outsider...he isn't. But talented yes he is
@@sarikajoshi7156Ranveer Singh is still better Actor.
I wish you spoke about how nepotism is only driven for the male heirs in the Telugu industry and almost never the female heirs. And similarly for the other south industries too. I'm sure if there are these many talents encouraged or cultivated among the men, the women too could have a chance, but the culture is obviously patriarchal. Also, you really should make a video about how the south industries have gone from having wonderful talented actresses from their own linguistic culture to barely having any actresses speaking their own language (Esp Telugu)
That’s actually true! Why do you think that is? Is it because the stories require a dumb blonde who needs saving and falls head over heels for the alpha male lead??
Fun fact (not about nepotism): The Kerala School Kalolsavam (Arts Fest) used to provide a direct pipeline for actresses to get into the film industry. Become the state "champion" and you get noticed. That's how we got so many of the most popular actresses (it has a Wikipedia entry)
For actors, it was comedy/music/arts troupes and academies like Cochin Kalabhavan, Mimics Parade.
Sadly both these have little to no influence today.
DULY NOTED!
So in Telugu industry,there were attempts made for the females to come into the acting space like Niharika from Mega family. She initially started out as an anchor on a TV program and then came into movies,but honestly she had really bad acting skills which made all her films unsuccessful. There are other females who come from these families who work behind the cameras as producers, costumes,designers ,writers etc mostly because of not falling into the "beauty standards" of the movie going audiences
It is becoz particularly in tamil nadu ans even andhra by 1990s time film industry was seen to be evil for women so families never allowed women to come to industry which made safe passage for bombay based actress.
I feel Ramcharan carries is more of a responsibility and pressure than a privilege. As a son of lengendary actor I still remember how everyone expected him to dance the best and fight and compared to his father constantly and now having his own identity and removing the tag of chiranjeevi son is itself a great achievement where in other star kids failed to do like Abhishek bachan though he is talented enough
True..
He was brilliant in rangasthalam i didn't expect much but he was good
In bollywood at least nepotism is questioned, outside Bollywood in other industries especially in private and public companies nobody questions nepotism.
Mentioned the same in the video. Popular media masks similar problems that exist in other industries.
Thats also because of the fandom. Nobody cares if media talks shit about the Kapoors or Roshans. But dare any media house roast an actor from film family in south, they will find crazy fan 'associations' outside their offices.
Private company hai toh obviously family member ko hi milega ....kya logic hai isma.
I will obviously give business to my kids or cousin son and so on.
Kya logic hai.
You should have complaint about government or public business where government Mp and mla son are given high post for nepotism
Yes and No. Telugu audiences out right reject if the person has no talent. but yes, it is NOT on a global scale and small talent is pushed a lot too...by big stars and producers. Hence, the nepotism is not as bad as in copywood.
@@SriSrinivasable Then why did the Telugu audience not rejected Allu Arjun and Ram Charan whose acting abilities were not as good as they are now in their ventures in the beginning???
PS- It's a fact that Tollywood is more marred by nepotism than Bollywood has ever been!
Speaking from Malayalam industry standpoint, there's no such concept as a film family like the Kapoor's or the Bachans. None of the nepo actors believe they will get multiple chances at acting just because they are nepo kids. Fahadh's first film was so bad, his father sent him abroad for his education, he came back after around 10 years later without a degree, and he got side role in the movie " tournament". After that it was all his hardwork. Same with Dulquer, his mother told him "people like your father (mamooty) due to some luck, don't expect the same good fortune to happen to you, get a good job and settle down". He went abroad for his MBA, made some short film with his friends, finally realising that acting was his passion. Vineeth Srinivasan was never considered as an actor until recently, he was known more for his singing, he acted in side roles in movies and even started directing small budget movies. It was due to him the actor Nivin Pauly was discovered. Prithviraj too has a production house where genuine people can come and pitch their ideas. There are many other examples. These actors never take the audience for granted, which is why the audience loves them.
As an audience I never noticed these actors right away for being associated within industry. They're always out of the limelight unlike in other film industries the first film and even before their first film they're hyped up due to PR. In malayalam cinema that excessive PR culture is not there and it only depends on whether their films work or not and not even their fan association contributes that much to their success. Star kid journey is no less different than outsiders in malayalam cinema too, of course the star kids have priveleges but outsiders are not affected to that extent. Big difference is also in other industries there's 3 generations of actors whereas in malayalam cinema not so much.

you forgot to mention that mammotty promised his son that he would never make a phone call for him, that he would have to pave his own way. he didn't want his children (dulquer and his sister, sulfath) to gain any fame because of him, especially DQ, which is why he gave his son another last name. DQ himself has said that nobody in his family has the name "salman"
@@godslittlegirlhone calls are not necessary. It is well known he is Mamooty’s son and that is worth a thousand phone calls. Imagine the possibility of an outsider getting the opportunities he had got to prove himself eventually…. Not possible.
@@mr.kochappan2418bro... In mollywood... We have a lot stars other than nepo kids... If u have talent... U can be in mollywood... May be the 1st opportunity can be rewarded for being mammmooty's kid... That doest nt mean he can convince athe audience....😅 In mollywood we only look talent... If u lack that...u r out... If u have that... U are in... ❤
But in bollywood... After doing 4 flops... They come with the same nepo kid shit...,😂😂😂😂 Thats the problem...
I think one key aspect in Malayalam (and probably Tamil) cinema is the availability of opportunities.. in Malayalam cinema, you can have a Suraj Venjaramoodu, Biju Menon, Manju Warrier etc. playing a major role in films which do very well.. also the appreciation for character actors and comedians is much more, so folks who come up from a stage background like theatre or mimicry get chances more easily. Not to mention cases where producers like a Prithviraj giving meaningful roles to a Roshan Matthew in Kuruthi, which is just one example.
Also there's no generation of actors in every family. As much as there are actors that are connected to somebody in film industry there are more outsiders so even someone like Thilakan's son cannot even succeed compared to outsiders. When Kunchacko Boban is mentioned, well Dileep was more popular and the star when both of them started their career in 90s. Somewhere Kunchacko failed and didn't see too much of him. So nepotism in malayalam film industry isn't beneficial compared to other industries.
@@Finnolakunchako boban left the industry. Apparently his wife didn't want him to act as a romantic hero. But I like Kunchako boban's acting tho. Dileep has a pattern of acting. And malayalam industry looks for talent than name. Especially now. We look for actors who fit the role
Roshan is from theater background.
But i think in malayalam FI there's a balance of outsiders and nepo actors. And i feel that as the industry itself is competing with other industries & hollywood, to bring in malayali audience, a united front exists in the industry to bring good movies other than commercial films. Word of mouth still relevant more than ever
@@Sun.Shine- yes he is from theatre background, not a nepo child. Which is why I said, it is good that even producers like Prithviraj don’t play favourites. I don’t necessarily feel the industry is competing with bolly and hollywood, and I feel one big factor is that most of the movies focus on everyday people, which means the protagonist can be a good actor, not necessarily a star kid. Massy movies where a lot of flash and promotions are required (star vehicles) had a brief stint, but don’t really work in Malayalam cinema (we watch such movies from other industries though)
Ajay Devgn's case is very unique. It was uncommon for an action director's son to be a hero/star. Not to mention IMO he had the best debut of any actor in Bollywood history. A movie with new actor/new actress directed by unknown director up against Lamhe headlined by YRF with one of the big superstars of that time in Anil Kapoor not to mention Sridevi. Also, the smear campaign launched by YRF to pressure Ajay to postpone the movie. From criticizing his looks to talent and these were not random people who were doing it. Yash Chopra(one of the reasons Ajay hasn't worked with YRF till date), Yash Johar, Anil Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah,etc. They all apologized after the movie became successful.
Also, I guess the new actors don't accept privilege. If you see Ajay's interview he always says he never had to struggle or do anything like that, if current lot had that amount of self awareness then audience would have been more forgiving.
What is called Nepotism in Hindi cinema is actually just laziness of the producers to find better talent.
And what about nepotism in south?
@@manav6721didn't you see the video. South also has nepotism but talentless actors (nepo or not) get mowed down pretty quickly and only talent survives (although in Telugu industry some talentless nepo kids still keeps on making movies wasting their money and our time and energy)
Nope. They don't allow outsiders. They are not given awards, media coverage, not invited to parties. No friends made etc.. And a lot goes
@@perseusvlasov367may i know whom you're talking about?
@@kajamoiddeen Bollywood
My only complain with most nepokids is please enter industry only if you have trained in acting and are willing to further improve. Choose good scripts coz you have the option to choose which outsiders don't have. See Hritik, Ranbir & Alia for example
Atleast the three names you have mentioned have great acting chops! Many outsiders are also not professionally trained in acting (i.e., they don't have acting degrees). Stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, SRK and many other outsiders like Ranveer Singh, Sanya Malhotra are not trained actors. None of them have studied acting. It's wrong to say that if a person is not having an acting degree them he or she should not act cause going by that measure very few (including crores of outsiders who come to Bombay to become an actor) won't be eligible to even opt for this field of career.
@@seemonjena659 atleast they should be able to act and attract the audience with their performance. And I don't consider Ranveer Singh as an outsider. He had the upper hand as his family is rich and has film connections. Also he said that his casting director friend helped him get Band Baaja Baraat
There is a dearth of good scripts and director. So not everybody is going to get great movies. So sometimes they force to choose mediocre script over waiting for good script.
Choose good scripts? They select the best of scripts and leave the rest for the others.
@@seemonjena659 Srk got trained by Barry John and he had already been in theatre in DU.. that’s how he got tv shows. What makes you think they didn’t undergo any training? Some even get trained on the job itself.
I'm glad that you're talking about nepotism in Tollywood. No one will even dare to talk due to fan wars. 90% of main actors are from Nepo background and there are at least 7 actors from Mega family. New actors struggle like anything.
I hail from Tamil Nadu, and if you were to ask me about nepotism in the Tamil industry, my answer would be YES. However, the interesting thing is that it isn't as much of a problem here. Even if someone comes from a privileged background, their talent is the ultimate deciding factor. While being a nepo kid may grant them access to notable projects initially, it doesn't guarantee success if they lack talent.
The Tamil cinema audience is discerning and passionate. They have the power to reject anyone, regardless of their connections, if they fail to prove their mettle. Conversely, if an outsider demonstrates genuine dedication to acting and chooses compelling scripts, the Tamil people are known to offer more opportunities to succeed.
Tamil people appreciate and admire individuals who start from scratch and achieve great heights through hard work and determination. The industry welcomes those who put in genuine efforts and display their talent, regardless of their background. It's this ethos that sets the Tamil industry apart and creates opportunities for deserving individuals to shine.

I don't have a problem with nepotism if it provides actual good talents like hrithik, allu arjun, surya, Puneet rajkumar, dulquer.
None of them are good in average movies. People do not know $_hit about acting. If they can not emote in eyes or in body language, they are useless and trash. Hritik, a good dancer, can be used a dancer as a pickle in side course. Surya is a joke.
Well.. jr ntr is symbol of this nepotism with talent. He was born into a family that had immense talent in arts, he was raised surrounding by such art, he is named after his grandfather the great sr. Ntr. And now he is by far the best actor in the entire nation. And also supports young actors like vishwak sen etc.. there is some truth to being raised in an environment full of arts.
@@some.metime8344 see we don't even raise a question about Jr NTR and his family background because of his skills. If someone genuinely has skills the audience won't even bother about that. But they are shoving the other talented less nepo kids down our throats
Puneet 😂
Ritik😂
Bro from the Telugu industry, Akhil Akikeni and Srinivasan Bellamkonda are probably considered to be bottom of the barrel in terms of newcomers. It’s people like Vishvaksen and Siddhu Jonolagoddha who are succeeding and they didn’t have any previous connections to the industry
U missed Sushant in ur list of self-made actors. Its his 4th death anniversary too. In his words, “Over a period of time, if we keep giving chances to people who don’t have any talent or skills, then eventually, we will create an unbalanced equation. The whole industry will collapse because the target audience is being exposed to wonderful international cinema and talent. We are yet to reach that tipping point, but we must never take the audience’s understanding and our relevance for granted.”
Even movies with good content are tanking at the BO. Why not for once question the public for its bad taste in movies! People would go watch Jug Jugg Jeeyo but they won't watch movies like Action Hero and Badhaai Do! The ball shall always remain in the court of the audience. It's we who can bring about a change. If we stop watching cringe movies, filmmakers would definitely stop making such movies and start racking their brains to bring outside the box content!
Haven't seen Ananya's work but Arjun and Sara's case is really frustrating for the audience like me. And I get more disappointed by the kind of works they're getting regardless of several bad performances than their performances themselves. Why these good directors and the producers keep on choosing them instead of so many other talents who are just ready to burst is beyond my understanding 😔 like beyond!!!!!why???????

In malayalam it's fair and nepotism doesn't affect outsiders to that extent. Nivin and Tovino won't get whatever opportunities they got in other industries, their journey won't be the same in other industries which only depend on star kids. At least malayalam filmmakers can look to outsiders when it's not an option in other industries. Fahaadh did what no other actor with priveleges in other industries did which is learn their craft and still go through hard times just like an outsider.
@@namithachacko2480 yah I understand.. But even if a person is getting this advantage, even if they are not very good in their first film.. There should always be a slightest improvement made by them in order to at least get people's acceptance, which vafa did with pure dedication.. That is what is lacking in many starkids Or whatever we call them
The problem with nepotism in the film industry, particularly Bollywood and Tollywood, is that new talents are not only denied opportunities (keep it in the family) but are sabotaged if they show promise. Kill the competition to stay relevant. Some Nepo kids are quite talented. But the vas majority of untalented nepo kids are repeatedly given starring roles with the hope that they somehow make it. This does not work in sports (although politics does) because a star sportsman cannot necessarily produce a star sportsman kid e.g. Gavaskar, Tendulkar etc.
yes and are less in the media compared to others who come from pre established film families like the kapoors or suhannas movie who is still getting films despite the poor performance in the arches
My family is also from the same background as Yash's family, money these drivers & conductors get is very minimal to get their children into activities such as acting, really happy for Yash & his family.
The funniest shit is that the nepo kids don’t even realize that they’re being bashed 😂🤣
Ananya knows it
They knows it but they don't pay any heed to it.
Nepotism is not a problem if the person is talented. I understand that children from film families naturally gravitate towards movies because that for them is ‘success’. But there are very few people who actually seem passionate about the projects they’re doing.
Yes star kids should be humble and acknowledge their privileges. But i find it a bit odd when people reduce the achievements of actors who have already proven themselves (Alia, Ranbir) to nepotism and expect them to acknowledge it in every single interview. It’s frustrating.
Also.. nepotism will live on. People who’re fighting against it will also do everything they can to help their kids to be a part of the industry.
So they should look at it with a simple lens of: ‘Am i really passionate about the craft? Will an audience be happy after they spend Rs.500 to watch me?’
That’s it.
movie making is a collaborative effort tht takes talent from different crafts to work together to produce a product...which needs money and connections(built over years) and who better than star kids to benefit from such a system....and outsiders bitch and moan abt it and have group therapy sessions and debates on nepotism thus creating a virtue out of being a "talented" outsider with no fame or bank balance...boo hoo
@@sudheerkumar4421 but if a nepo product is like hritik roshan, rainbir kapoor nobody will have any problem man only problem occurs is when people like arjun kapoor keep on getting roles.

That is so sad. To be someone's 53rd choice could be so frustrating and exhausting.
I believe you can never compare the Nepotism of the Hindi cinema industry and Telugu cinema industry to that of Kannada, Thamizh or Malayalam.
Though Vijay, Suriya, Ravi, STR and Karthik came from a family of cinema, it is only because you see promise and talent these 'star kids' are given another chance. The audience of 1990s and 2000s may have been more forgiving, but the audience now are more analytical about who's worth their Rs 200. Sometimes it helps that the director is a bigger star than the actor.
But the chances given to the star kids of Hindi cinema are insane! After so many less than mediocre projects.😕
I watched movies like Aligarh and Gulmohar, rewinding and revisiting so many beautifully made scenes. I can't watch a 2 minute clip from SOTY 2 without fast forwarding the cringe.
One aspect hugely missed in nepotism is that it's present in all industries.
It's about parents going to any length to establish their kids.
A successful doctor getting their kids a private medical degree, then helping them open a hospital/clinic isn't any different. They don't step back just because their son is an average doctor.
Most of us, when our kids grow up, will try to get them internship in large companies by using our connections.
A successful lawyer does the same for their lawyer kids. And so on
Very apt. The whole debate about nepotism is flawed, in the way it expects a producer spending big bucks on a movie to take the risk and bet on an outsider when he can bet on an insider, a family member or a family member of a close friend in the industry. Nothing is charity, after all. Producers know their risks and it's their money after all. If the audience doesn't like, they don't have to watch. They can choose from a wide range of global offerings and not crib about nepotism at every available opportunity on social media.
@@rahulpinnamaneni Exactly. It is producer's money. Their rules.
Most people commenting here, would go to any extent to establish their kids, using their own money, if their kids need it.
For all pther profession you need to study and pass an exam. In film induatry and polotics, no need of that. Just make a big buzz u get following.
@@sigmarules9429 And that's inherently the nature of the industry. Surprisingly, the same is applicable to even politics. More Indians are worried about nepotism in movies than nepotism in politics. Pretty sad state of affairs.
What I've observed in south Nepo kids/stars is that whenever you see them outside or on any interviews/shows they seem very very humble ( and aware and acknowledge the facts that audiences are superpowers ) which I don't get to see much when it comes to Bollywood.
And in Tamil Industry you see guys like Dhanush launching outsiders like Shivakarthikeyan & VJs so they get the privilege ( which tbh is quite normal, even I'd think of my son first to handover my business) but they also look to distribute the privilege/help others by launching new/non-nepo talents.
Reality cheque: In Bollywood too every actor acknowledges the power of audience. Irrespective of which industry you belong to, every actor knows that he or she cannot sustain if the audience does not loves his or her acting. It's just that fans of South Indian cinema love to bash Bollywood even when the entire South film industry is made up of families who have for generations been involved in movie business.
PS- Another fact check Bollywood is more welcoming to outsiders than South movie industry. I can name an entire list of actors and actresses who have no connections with films whatsoever but are being given opportunity to work in Hindi movies.
So when guys like Salman khan publicly end someone's career, that's where I think people get more angrier towards nepotism!
@@seemonjena659 Bruh! Firstly I agree that Bollywood may acknowledge the audience power, but I've seen more than enough interviews/shows where they just SHOWOFF
Also also also mainly - we don't need Bollywood to invite south 🤣 broh wtf, that's exactly the mindset which is taking bollywood down... Bollywood is not some standard that other regions should achieve, we're good at making movies in the south and releasing it pan India, we don't need Bollywood validation/invitation for that, we're happy with Bollywood copying the scripts from south 🤣
And Nepotism is not at all an issue , it's a situation.... The issue is abusing the power/privilege! Like what Salman Khan did to Vivek Oberoi.
yeah everyone is humble , out of humbleness two remakes of arjun reddy were made for vikram's son
I remember DQ talking about nepotism in one of his interviews that in Malyalam industry It's not very common.. there are not many second generation actors especially before he started his career... and even if anybody has tried they have not been very successful so they never thought their audience will guarantee you success just because you come from a certain lineage.... nobody is gonna give you opportunities if the audience doesn't accept you... whereas in Hindi & Telugu there are 3rd/4th generation actors but in Malyalam even the second generation found it difficult to make their place...they have to prove themselves over and over again to get opportunities and i think this is the reason in malyalam industry atleast i have never saw a mediocre work even if it's there it's not so much like Hindi/Telugu...i mean it's almost embarrassing to see some actors getting opportunities over & over again even though they have no talent and it's visible that it's all because they have certain power..
And you can see actors like Prithviraj, Dulquer still trying to shed that Star kid tag and still trying hard to prove that they are much more than a star kid❤️🙌
What I appreciate about actors like Dulquer, Prithviraj and Konchako Boban is that you can see the effort being placed in different characters and stories. At least in the last 5-6 years, a genuine exploration to provide something new to the audience and not a lazy approach, thinking that the fans will lap it up
@@TriedRefusedProductions Exactly 💯
@@TriedRefusedProductions The story of Kunchacko Boban is really inspiring... After playing a boy-next-door character in a slew of films, he decided to leave the industry. But he came back as a phenomenal actor through Traffic, Varnyathil Aashanka, Ramante Edenthottam, Enna Thaan Case Kodu, Ariyippu....
So goes the case for Fahadh.
Dulquer came as a star kid, but due to his calibre he is now one of the Pan Indian artists from Malayalam Cinema...
Also not ignoring Nivin Pauly, Antony Varghese, Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas, Jayasurya and Dileep.... They have worked a lot on this no cap ❤
Also there's no generation of actors in every family. As much as there are actors that are connected to somebody in film industry there are more outsiders so even someone like Thilakan's son cannot even succeed compared to outsiders. When Kunchacko Boban is mentioned, well Dileep was more popular and the star when both of them started their career in 90s. Somewhere Kunchacko failed and didn't see too much of him. So nepotism in malayalam film industry isn't beneficial compared to other industries.
Malayalam industry used to be like this, but now we also have cults and star kids get more hype than they used to. Best examples are Pranav and Kalyani.

The way James talks about other languages cinema apart from Hindi Cinema is just brilliant. He should write books about Cinema and should interview more famous actors, producers and directors. For many years now several actors from OTT are giving a formidable competition nowadays to Bollywood which is GREAT.
Sara Ali khan in my opinion is also not doing well with the privilege she has. And tbh I feel like even if she signs a good script she won't do any justice to her character
But he was awarded with Padma Shri
@@vamshidhar8648 Sara* not Saif
She won't be getting good and big movies ahead like Sonakshi and Sonam.
Thanks Anmol for providing a very nuanced and balanced take on nepotism encompassing all cinema industries. I see a lot of people abusing Bollywood, however they forget nepotism exists in abundance in other industries as well. In the end content matters a lot, however star kids do get the advantage of getting multiple opportunities to prove themselves...which is a sad reality existing everywhere.
I love how this video is not restricted to Bollywood. Thanks a lot for covering south Indian cinema too :)
Nepotism is rampant in Bollywood and Tollywood and that’s a fact. I guess the reason why Bollywood gets highlighted all the time is that you have talented actor/actresses around you but they seldom get their due. Like you said it takes a long time for some star kid to take a step back after having starred in numerous films but what about the lost opportunities for talented actors? What was a wasted opportunity for a star kid could have been a breakthrough for an outsider but they were never given the chance. While the talentless star kid retires, the talented outsider fades into oblivion and that’s the sad part.

Tollywood also gives nepo kids more opportunities. Just look at akhil. Another example from Kollywood is vijay at his early stage. His first film itself was a box office bomb, but his subsequent films before raajavin paarve was directed by his father himself. So, his entry to cinema didn't mug the chance of anyone else since his father and mother themselves produced and directed the films. So, his entry to cinema didn't mug the chance of anyone else since his father and mother themselves produced and directed the films. One more thing, vikram is a cousin of yesteryear star Prasanth, who is probably well known for the lead male in tamil movie jeans, co starring aishwarya rai. Suriya himself said in many events that he wasn't enough good to act and dance in his early days and how he was proud of his brother Karthi who achieved recognition through his first film itself.

But still there are so many vijaysethupathi
Yogi Babu

I dont want to give an opinion here but appreciate ANMOL for compiling this and giving us the insight to other cinemas as well, Keep up the good work bro❤❤
Well explained and nuanced video on nepotism jammy 👏👏
One problem which come to my mind regarding nepotism is about writers..
India is a developing nation, when you are born in a privileged family with connections even if you have talent how can you possibly understand the life of other peoples who are below your social class (which is probably majority of indians), hence lack of originality, and more grounded and rooted stories..
Have you heard of forming fan associations for an actor before his first film even got released? You may think it happened in Andra or Tamil Nadu but it happened in Kerala itself where Mohanlal's son Pranav got that privilege. 😂
Damn!
Cool. Laletton
This is happening in the Rajkumar family too.... Yuva Rajkumar (grandson of Dr.Rajkumar and son of Raghavendra Rajkumar) is being hyped up and celebrated like a big superstar just with movie announcements. He is yet to make his debut in the movies.
Ok so whatever happened to Pranav, in any industry that nepotism actually works in their favor didn't happen for him in malayalam cinema. I feel sorry for Pranav despite his priveleges.
But pranav mohanlal never came directly, he worked as assistant director and other jobs then came.
The nepotism in the southern parts of India is never spotlighted because I guess there are not many outsiders trying there as I have seen most people thinking that having a person who works in films is extremely needed to even crack a role in that industry. Bollywood is the code that everyone tries to crack, thus they see the star kids getting more and more chances other than them
thats an interesting observation!
It's not like outsiders are not trying. Kgf star Yash or kantara star rishab from kannada are outsiders only but the thing is they won't try to make big films just after one success like Vijay devarkonda and goes back to back flop. Consistency is what they prefer over sudden rise to keep things safe and many opportunities are passed on to them by star kids in South if they feel it can reach better if it's done by these outsiders when they are talented, example punith rajkumar gave up kanthara for Rishab.
And talented actors like dhanjaya acts as antagonist just to create confidence to emerge as mass hero and these support are given by so called nepo kids in South so audience here observe both the perspective and judge them.
@@TriedRefusedProductions Interesting observation? Really ? Dude, come to Hyderabad and see an area called Krishna Nagar. Thousands of people come here for the sole purpose of entering into movies.

American here, new to Indian cinema. I’ve only discovered your great channel. Loved this video as I’ve been exploring Kannada cinema and thinking how the 3 Shetty’s seemed different from some of the other stars, most very talented but have discovered their nepotistic advantages. So thank you for this brief but comprehensive video.
On a separate topic, though the majority of your videos appear to be responding to “just released” films, i have a requested for an admittedly broad and deep topic: a survey of the different regional cinema of the past 10-20 year. I have dived into Kannada, Telugu, a touch of Malayan and Tamil …. and have yet to finish a Hindi film…but I’m diving blind most of the time. I tried looking for a survey video of the different Indian regional cinemas but the few are all just in Hindi with no subtitles. Would TRULY appreciate that from your channel as I truly appreciate your critical takes on contemporary Indian cinema ❤
Ranveer Singh is not an outsider
This is The India where Nehru-Gandhi family held PMship for nearly 38 + 10 (Seńorita Sonia) years since our Independence. But we only find fault to blame Nepotism in Bollywood 😂 We are a pathetic bunch of people
No one or any media, in my opinion, has evaluated this topic better. THANK YOU MAN.
Ranveer Singh also is a product of Nepotism by the way. It’s a clever manner in which he has been portrayed by deliberately not letting his family connections to the movie industry known due to which most of us arent aware of it.
I watched more hindi movies than my own country's movies! I remember watching 2014-2015 hindi dub south indian movies, man those feelings were something else. The variety array of genres in South is really promising! Now I watched more South Indian movies than any other industries combined.
Everytime I used to hear Bollywood nepotism discussion, south indian movie families literally flashes before my eyes; as you said, talent is king. They aren't as problematic unless they are not up for the job.
This generation's nepotism is total bullsh#t! Most of them are trash tbh. The problem actually starts with us, how we view them as something godlike figures! Taimur is one good recent example. Humans are sometimes pathetically disappointing!
Good to see, you brought the light to other industries as well.
at one point of time i was very critical of nepotism, but as one grows old understands that it is natural for any business person(in this case the film-makers) to provide their kids with everything they need to excel in the field they wish to and especially when you have the power, connections and money to do so. its quite similar to the the curruption in jobs and college recruitments. the thing is try to balance as their field apart from being economical is artistic too and arts needs talent to prosper, which is not the property of some clan or family
Shahid is a best eg of coming up after doing hardwork...
He hasn't got work because he was a star kid .. he got work because he did all the hardwork
Kareena Kapoor is also a good actress.
She worked very hard.
@@personaldoveghanta
We can't blame Nepo kids of being born into star families. The blame should be on film makers who give them opportunities AGAIN n AGAIN. Plus Bollywood lacks so much in content and creativity compared to any other film industry.. India or abroad.
As Siddhant put it, the struggle between a starkid and an outside is night and day. Even the struggle of some starkid like Shahid who actually worked hard in comparison to all the likes of Sonam, Arjun, Sonakshi, Ananya ect... tells the whole story of how they don't acknowledge their privilege and constant opportunity given on a silver platter served with a gold spoon.
Even their argument that audience decide eventually which talent sustain (referring to Adi Chopra comment on Uday in the Romantics) is simply astounding of arrogance as they do not care how many talents are crushed in that process unfortunately.
Its really sad that people don't acknowledge the differences between someone who has made it on his or her own versus someone who had it served on a platter.... The sole reason why SRK is truly the last Superstar ❤
Nepotism is something unavoidable unless the fraternity wants to bring change in it. I’m okay with actors like Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor but I would like to see more of Tripti Dimri and Rajkumar Rao (jus an eg)
Rajkumar rao seems to have lost his touch tbh. His recent works aren't as good as his previous ones.
Just go and make there movie success full instead of hating the nepotism product
@@akanchhaaryal4642 i’m a huge fan of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tbh. I never had problems w nepotism if we get actors like em. And the whole point of my comment was to give “good” actors who are outsiders the opportunity
@@cineholic88nahh he was hilarious in ludo
Only if people go and watch them. People like Tripti dimri will never get fan following like Alia Bhatt.
I am very happy that you discussed the topic across industries not limiting to bollywood. The best solution for this issue is to make Audition necessary I mean mandatory for films. Also to make sure that actor is not above the story. When people don't make movies around an actor or more rightly a star, then you wouldn't see this being discussed.
How much do you feel, upon introspection, is your own movie watching choice making, about FOMO and how much is about what you really feel strongly for? After having moved to the EU, I’ve started to realise how much our movie watching choices in india are almost always about FOMO. Whereas when I visit a film festival and pick based on trailers and quality of cinema or storyline I feel I’m able to shake those FOMO choices off so much more.
Best, detailed video about nepotism in the Indian film industry (not just bollywood). Love your content ❤
You completely missed Uday chopra😅 One of the biggest director producer son... I still believe it's all depend on audience choice.. That's why Uday failed no. of times. And whereas Audience accepted Alia bhatt with open arms bcoz of her Talent. So talent plays an important role no matter you are a star kid or outsider👍🏻
But imagine having the privelege to prove oneself for over 10 years and then taking the selfless call of maybe, IT NOT BEING FOR YOU! Who gets that kind of leeway!

Chiyaan Vikram sir is the son of a small time character actor named Vinod Raj. His film career never took off and he never even got any substantial supporting part. It was only after his son Vikram became a big star and earned all the masses' love and respect that Vinod Raj started getting film offers because of Vikram's influence.
If this is not the unthinkable, I don't know what is.
Salute to Vikram sir.
Telugu industry is peak nepotism. It is because of the pure passion and talent that actors like Nani, Vijay Devarakonda, Adivi Sesh and Priyadarshi are surviving. I really feel bad for female actors. I do not remember a single Telugu mainstream film in the last 20 years that had a Telugu female lead. Roja was probably the last native Telugu female star. Since then, we have been importing female leads from other southern states and Mumbai.
Same in tamil industry, no female tamil actress after ranjitha.
Vijay devara konda has close family connections with KCR family.
It's not restricted to actors we need more creative writers, filmmakers and Storytellers now that we have freedom in web space to push boundaries in series and Movies we have great actors...but out genres are restricted to gangster violence, psychological drama or slice of life stories and mass action in mainstream it aches my heart seeing insanely written shows like Succession, Ted Lasso, Better call Saul and even in Japan or Korea shows and anime... it's so bloody good but in India we always restrict this to actors genre expansion or subversion seriously Indian cinema is craving and in Between shows like Rocket boys s02 gives sigh of relief....we need more
Just today while going through my Instagram feed I came across a video of the Archie’s gang flying to some place for their film . Every single actor in that film was a nepo kid Ofcourse with varying degrees. It’s also interesting to note that the director of the film is Zoya Akhtar , another nepo kid. What’s amusing is that her first film Lucky By chance addresses the very issue of nepotism , connections , talented outsiders being left behind due to lack of connections . Honestly , I’m ready to give star kids a chance …or two ! We do after all have Hrithik Roshan as a prime example of not to judge a book by it’s covers. What annoys me is when I see the likes of Jhanvi , Sara etc being cast in film after film with no results to show for. What baffles me is when I open Netflix or Prime , I see Abhishek Bachchan in his 75th film. These people have replaced one talented person after another over the years yet we still wonder if nepotism exists. That interview with Adivi Shesh was eye opening. Outsiders have to resort to writing their own films now. This says everything that most naysayers would never admit to.
Even though there is nepotism in Mollywood, the Malayali audience retains only those who know how to act.
Eg : Dulquer salman - son of mammoty
Fahad fazil - són of legendary director fazil
Great video dude. Appreciate the research that went into making this
Nepotism in Bollywood has always annoyed me but not as much as when Sara Ali Khan said she knew she was not talented in an interview... Well if you know then work on your craft, and go to school... rather than serving nonsense every single time hoping to learn as you go. Use your privilege to better yourself. You don't see anyone complain as much about Wamiqa or Ishaan. The other thing is the audience treats Nepotism kids like a spectator sport... The attention they get is mind-bending for people who are disliked for their privilege.
Finally someone I can fully agree with
There are two aspects of this process:
1. Entry: Let's get an example, How one enters into any business? One easy way is that your family owns a business and then you can enter into that business whenever you want, it doesn't matter whether you have any degree or you have just passed 10th or 12th grade. In the same way film industry is a business and they have every right to allow their kids to give easy access to this business doesn't matter if the kid has talent in acting or any other form of filmmaking. The hard way to enter into any business is open your own start-up and struggle.
2. Post Entry: Let's take an example of Ambanis, Both Mukesh and Anil Ambani inherited the same assets/businesses from their father somewhere in the early 2000s. And we all know where they are right now, Same in filmmaking one would get opportunities (in some cases more than they deserve) but it would be difficult to get success unless you're talented or work hard. After a point, it doesn't matter if you have started that business on your own or you inherited it from your family all it matters is how good you're.
Everyone has the right to give their kids an easy access to the field they work hard for maybe over a couple of decades. If I am a doctor and I have a hospital, I would like my kid to become a doctor and then join my hospital.
Careful these people will hate on your kids next 😂
This is probably the best video on your channel so far. 👏🏻
Great job outline the different industries within Indian cinema
While nepotism is definitely a concerning topic that we need to do a deep dive into, there is this undeniable power politics in the Indian film industries as well that we should focus on. For instance, someone like an Aishwarya Rai-who is arguably one of the most successful & popular Bollywood stars (a non-nepo kid)-was denied the opportunity to star in a few of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters because of the overpowering influence of Salman & Shahrukh Khan. It's just plain sad.
Never so early, so my 2 cents: we as audience need to vote with our money AND our attention. Starkids get attention on social media and that translates to movies because that makes quick money, no matter how rubbish the content. Stop following them on social media or any news gossip sites. Choose consciously to give give money and attention to talented actors work, unique film projects (and yes, if the star kid has talent, support them too).
And secondly, so freaking proud of Jammy for the Extraction 2 interview. Such an intelligent and high quality session. Huge well done. (unrelated, I know, but I hope you see this!)
It's good to see you back after a long silence.i had missed your videos.
I like the fact that you acknowledge some very talented actors in this video. Truth is harsh. Very Well analysed.
I have been watching your channel from 2 years. This is arguably one of your best video.❤
Jammy wanted to diss ananya Pandey
And didn't want controversies...
One more important point is that nepotism doesn't just mean filmy families launching their kin, it also means the ultra rich and connected non-filmy people who hobnob with cinema glitterari and get a chance for their children. Example- Chirag Paswan (Father famous politician), Kiara advani (family friends with people like juhi chawla salman khan) etc. I'm not pointing to these 2 specifically, I just mean this category of influential yet non-filmy don't face the nepotism flack.
It is there. I would love it if you cover - the bengali and marathi film industry for nepotism.
I have seen it manifesting rarely in them. I may be wrong. Your expertise would really be awesome.
Been following you for a while..
You're amazing Jammy
Thank you for this video. This has by far been the most well thought out video I have watched ever around nepotism. Like you rightly called out it’s not just about the privilege, it’s about accepting the right talent and giving them the opportunity. For example in Malayalam film industry Mohanlal and Suresh Gopis sons has not been able to make a name for himself. Which i personally feel is because he is not meant for acting. At the same time comparitively Jayarams son is a better actor but lack of good script has affected his career in Malayalam film industry
It’s true, after Hrithik, there hasn’t been anyone that remarkable coming in. Amitabh Bacchan, The Three Khans, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik are still the only ones we keep mentioning in the Bollywood scene :((
The thing with Vijay, Suriya, Karthi, STR, Jayam Ravi and Dhanush are, that they have become more successful than their parent never were. For example, Vijay's and Dhanush's dads are not big directors, nobody knows their movies.
Lol vijays father was big director that time, he made hit movies with vijaykanth and chiranjeevi. While jayam ravi father was top moat editor in tamil and telugu industries.
@@Attitudezero884😂 please don't try make me laugh😂
Thank you for this. What I dislike about the whole debate is, they only base this on Hindi cinema. If we go to see the south industry, they have many examples as well. So yes, it is a turn off when it's only talked about in one industry.
Well researched and made brother. Never disappoints!
Of course outsiders can make it big. Yash, Nani, Vijay D, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, and Adivi Sesh are all stars. However the real issue with nepotism is the opportunities given. Especially in the hindhi film industry, star kids get good scripts and commercial opportunities much easier than outsiders but that's not even the worst part. The bad part is that even when their projects are abysmal and it's clear there's a huge lack of talent they will STILL get good projects whereas outsiders have to struggle for roles.
But in T'wood, there are actors like Chiranjeevi (at the starting years), Nani, Vijay Devarakonda, Raghuvaran (in the earlier years), Vijay Sethupathi, Kamal Hassan, Ajith and Vikram in K'wood, Dileep and Mammootty in M'wood alongwith the youngsters like Tovino Thomas, Nivin Pauly.
Dileep still deserves the mention (despite that kidnapping controversy he is in).In the initial years, he was doing character comedic roles (like Jayaram). Dileep in his initial years was working with actors mostly like Mammootty (in his earlier movies), Mohanlal, Innocent, Kalabhavan Mani.
the layers that one needs to formulate to make it in an already restrictive industry!
@@TriedRefusedProductionsbro talk about kannada film industry 90% from outsiders
@@TriedRefusedProductions I think there were also outsiders like Siddharth, Thaman (now a composer, once he was an actor), Tarun (who was once working in Tamil and Telugu industry), and I think, there was an actor named Uday Kiran also.
Dileep, despite his controversy, still worked under some notable directors in Malayalam, but now recently his films are mindless underwhelming (all due to Udaykrishna's scripts).His earlier films like Vettam, Runway, Joker, CID Moosa, Meesa Madhavan were all hits.

This video talks about talent and this dude has that in spades, even after all this time he still manages to make a video essay about nepotism by pointing out the obvious and the noticeable without making personal attacks or favouring one film industry over others. What pointed out in this 9 minute video (thank you for nor rambling on for 20 odd mins btw unlike other YTers) are the bare facts about Nepotism and their impact on the casting choices. THATS IT!
Tamil actor Vikram is not an outsider. His father is an actor
Nepotism is not just being born into film families. You also have to acknowledge the privilege of coming from rich and connected families. Like kiara advani’s parents are friends with half of Bollywood. Would you say her journey is similar to say kriti sanon or Richa Chadda?
True that but would also like to say that even us are to be blamed,they will say nepotism all the time yet they will follow the so called same "nepokids"in social media .Just look at the fan following of Ananya ,Sara and compare that with Tripti Dimri, Radhika Apte
I don't even know why people 'follow ' such stars like bro they are gonna pop up in your feed anyway
There is whole PR machinery work before and after they got launched. They know that people are crazy for kids who comes from movie families. Look at Taimur he is kid and media is treating him like a superstar.
Nepotism has been there for decades. Let's not forget aamir khan, salman khan, rd burman, kishore kumar, they all had connections and the list will be countless. It was just not known as nepotism at that time. The point is, people who were talented and could connect with the audience, they made their mark. People who failed in that, faded. But today the problem is that despite failing in every film repeatedly, the starkids are somehow still getting opportunities. And some of them are just bad. I don't know how Sara Ali Khan or Arjun Kapoor still manage to get roles, they are just bad! I am sure they have other talents, but acting is not one of those. In today's time it has almost come to a point of being shameless. And of course, bad scripts, bad filmmaking just add on to the plight of the audience.
Finally someone talks about the nepotism happening in all the cinemas like why just people wants to drag Bollywood and doesn't want to talk about others cinemas the amount of nepotism is actually happening in South Indian industry is really insane I don't think there would be much outsiders left and you'll only see starkids acting in South Indian movies .......and every industry has its pros and cons we should talk about everything rather than only talking about one and degrading it ....
No problem of being a nepo unless you prove your talent onscreen but I also demand a healthy mixture of both nepos and outsiders in hindi that all 4 south industries does.
Audience literally love Dhanush, Allu Arjun,Vijay, Fahad Fassil, Ranbir Kapoor despite all are from film families but u can't deny that all of them are also immensely talented and they also proved it
Allu Arjun,Vijay &Ranbir Kapoor does not belong near any acting neighbourhood
@HappyMantheGr81 Pure garbage actors. Behaving Blind with open eyes in Sanju. Yuck.
Lol, allu arjun and Joseph vijay acting talent is like salman khan
Vikram is not an outsider. His father Vinod Raj used to play small role in Tamil films. Actor thyagarajan is his uncle and Prasanth is his first cousin.
But he struggled for decade to establish himself.
In case of Vikram, without sethu, his existence in cinema won't be this much. He got that project for which he had put so much effort to prove himself as a good performer. He got that impression that he can do anything for a character after that movie. So directors with such characters approached him after Sethu. He's still continuing to do the same upto thangalaan. He never disappointed the directors after that with his efforts.
Rightly said! Nepo kids have access to big directors and producers even before they begin whereas outsiders have to earn it, that too takes an enormous amount of time to cement their feet in industry. Also, despite several absurd and failed performances, we are made to see the movies of talentless nepo kids again & again. They keep getting chances however, some of them improve to some extent in due course of time. Outsiders don't enjoy this luxury. " Jaha se inka struggle shuru hota hain, hamare sapne khatam hote hain" Was best.
Nepotism is a thing all over the world in the film industry. Here in Germany and Austria it has been around for generations, and don't get me started what is going on in the US.
Many keep their business in the family not only the film industry. Doctors do it, lawyers do it, butchers do it, farmers do it, bakers do it, shopkeepers do it..... And I'm just thinking about the businesses in my small German town that have been in the same family for more then 3 generations.
If it exists, it exists.. It exists everywhere. the only reason we speak of Bollywood or any film industry is because in this stream, it instantly results in stardom..We need to get out of this debate now because everyone now knows that nepotism is prevalent in film industry and it is on them whether they want to spend their lives chasing this dream
