Arjun Kapoor is such a strange option that bollywood keeps pushing. He has never improved in a decade. He can't emote, can't dance, lacks charisma, doesn't seem very hardworking, doesn't have some distinct looks, the guy barely even cares about his fitness unlike the other nepos. Yet he keeps getting leading man roles and those films keep being flops. The audience has never really connected to him ever and I have never heard anyone say 'I want to really watch that film because Arjun Kapoor is there'. Arjun Kapoor really is a mystery to me. Must be among the worst nepo products bollywood ever churned out because he keeps getting backed by big production houses.

[@Maadhara]

Stars pull more numbers than a random, so it’s a safe bet. Movies are a business after all. Not to mention, their family might be involved in the production costs, so it’s basically upto them. It’s their wish as they are the ones taking the risk.

[@Pkourmmabd]

​@Maadhara Bollywood can try to pretend like Arjun Kapoor is a star. He has never shown any star qualities and he isn't some box office pull either. He is a guaranteed loss of investment. I mean he has been in industry since what 12 years now? What exactly does he brings to the table? How is he bankable in any way? I'm thinking this has something to do with money laundering.

[@Maadhara]

@@Pkourmmabd bro, they aren't making movies to please people 😅, they make movies to benefit themselves. Whether people accept or not, that's the way it is. People may hate it, but like I said, they aren't there to prove anything, profit or loss, it's upto them. Yup, the money laundering could also definitely be a reason. So basically expecting them to pick people based on talent is pointless in a industry that's there to make money.

No expression, zero dialouge delivery, no command over the dialouge like she was a dead fish.

I believe problem is not with creators problem is marketability of an actor or actress. Unknown actor/actress are not simply marketable (according to producers). Having known family connection actor/actress can help you market a movie or series pretty effectively. One starkid can promote another starkids movie/show and that creates word around social media. If it’s not a box office number then producers will show numbers of social media reach to investors in order to get backing for next project until one day actor/actress will get box office return or desired ott watching and cycle will continue. Having social media reach helps them with brand endorsements so they bring back production money before the release. As long as people following celebrities, watching their content, sharing their content, interacting with their content and watching their fims/series it’ll keep on happening.

Well thought narrative on this relevant topic. I thought the same about Sehgal man, actresses crave for Bansali's direction especially in India, but in my opinion she couldn't deliver the dialogues with a conviction of a poet. I believe after these recent projects that these star kids will become OTT actors for projects backed by their circle and some of them might see some light because that's the way probability works. However, we will continue to see these Netflix/Amazon projects backing talented young actors with good storyline. I loved Lapata ladies man, it was such a fun watch. After ages I could watch a movie with my family without felling slight cringe.

Sharmin Sehgal really came through like a soar thumb in this watchable and appreciable Heeramandi bcoz there is so much to admire here

Family man is the biggest OTT show and if Manoj Bajpai is not getting fees like Shahrukh or Salman is getting for der movie then it is outrageous. Priyamani should also get paid in that proportion too. I read somewhere that Tiger Shroff was paid 20+ crores for Bade Maiya Chhote miyan. I don't know why or how they can be paid like this,

Kangana would ve been phenomenal if her film quality did not deteriorate due to her want to be in every frame of the movie

[@kavishadesai75]

Sanya Malhotra is such an underrated actress. She should get more opportunities.

Bollywood's brand has egregiously declined since the nepotism system took over.. We can consider ourselves lucky to witness the golden era spearheaded by amazing actors like SRK, Akshay,Ayushman, Priyanka, Bipasha and more.. It's getting depressing and frustrating witnessing such catastrophic performances...

Nepotism exists in every industry in every department 🏬 in India because India is a collectivistic society, not individualistic like North America or Europe

"Kangana has repeated the same things multiple times, so there is nothing new to add to this debate."

I think we are done with the nepotism debate.We have seen in every walk of life, including politics.Let there not be a victim card, the real talent will shine regardless.

Nice video Jammy. It is difficult to counter apologists of nepotism. They present one supportive argument after another to somehow lionize these star kids. Nepotism in Bollywood is a nuisance. It will always be. This video is a testimony to this fact.
