Bollywood, there is a diff between nepotism and access. - Page 2

Shyam Kaushal is a well known action director and regularly worked with Anurag Kashyap so yes his father’s connections certainly helped him.

As I said, having access helps. Having money helps more as with Ranveer. Having a powerful dad with money in the same field helps the most. The last is nepotism because those peeps actually get movies made for them and roles on a platter.

Vicky knew where to go and whom to call. Anurag might take his call. There ended his advantage. He was definitely advantaged when compared to say, Karthik Aryan, but that's it. Vicky would've had to prove himself through relentless auditioning like any outsider. No one would give him a chance just because his dad was a stunt director.

Please! To lump him with the likes of Aloo and Ranbir and Harsh! Even Katrina is more nepo than Vicky because Salman actually lobbied for roles for her.

Every nepokid says that . His father was the action director of GOW and Vicky assisted there. Anyone can connect the dots.

His dream was to be an actor. Why didn't Anurag take him as an actor then? He did extremely small budget films like masaan and zubaan? Had to do character roles in Sanju and Manmarziyan?? Aloo, Kajol, Ranveer even Sooraj started out as leads??

The likes of Anupama and even some members here will call even a spot boy's kid a nepo baby!

I also didn’t know who Veeru Devgan or Aditya Pancholi are . So Ajay and Sooraj aren’t nepokids ?

Ajay Devgan worked his butt off in low budget movies to get where he was. Another one with access but not a nepo baby.

Sooraj Pancholi was an untalented idiot who cozied up to Salman like his BIL does now. Giving jobs to friends ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE FRIENDS is also nepotism

He did. In three movies

After Masan and Zubaan! All three were side roles.

He was in BV and that came out before Zubaan. Not that release dates make difference to me.

wait which films are you discussing ? I’m talking about the one w Abhishek and the one w Nawaz and BV

Yes Tapsee ends up with Abhishek in Manmariziyan. That would make him the lead not Vicky. And Raman Raghav was centered around the story of historic serial killer which was played by Nawaz? And are you honestly going to say he was the lead in BV? 🤣
