Why is there such less crossover between BW and TV in India? - Page 6

I guess the crossover is less because BW Is full of nepotism. The producers queue for the khans first no matter what the role is and no matter what the age of the leading lady is and then the movies rejected by them go to the Star kids or new kids who are being launched. The rejects from that then finally go to the aspiring TV actors. So TV actors are down in the line for any movie where do you get good films for them?

I disagree that the acting capabilities of TV actors are appalling. Usually the episodes are shot within a day and the screenplay writers write it a day before. Of course there is a rush to get the episodes out as soon as possible as they have the deadline to meet for the evening telecast. If sufficient time is given and good content is there I am confident TV actors can do a better job at acting than the Star kids.

Sorry to disagree because when tv stars given chance they done trashy films.

What about Arjun Kapoor,Sonam and Sonakshi? Arjun's only first movie was hit,Sonam did good acting in Ranjhnaa(In my POV) others really bad,still she got a movie like neerja,Sonakshi did full fledge acting in lootera and that was flop too but she got film offers like Akira and all that.They give us flop movies but they still get movie offers.

Sonam and sonakshi are still better than Arjun at least. Lootera flopped but ots one of the best movie.
Sonam had Ks,delhi6,ranjhana and she hit the jackpot with Neerja.
But Arjun 🤢 I agree about arjun

because most people from tv are not talented, and there is nepotism, KSG did make a crossover and I really liked him in hate story 3

Is nepotism a problem in Hollywood? Because right now it is in Bollywood- so is the new script. Bollywood hardly has something new- same old crap just like Indian TV. and above all this Indian TV has 6 or 7 days shows where as American Shows have 22 episodes per year or in case or Sherlock only 3 episodes in 2 years- people still wait for those shows. India should try to re-invent its TV. May be with English channels and new generation it will change slowly. Because many of us hate these Atma and Dayan serials.
