Vikrant Massey: So called Superstars.. - Page 2

What’s he saying? Does he know in BW forum the biggest threads and intense discussions are about Winget and KSG? He should once come to IF and open a thread on them.

Rest I agree with him. I think TV actors like Ronit Roy, Ram Kapoor have done side roles in films but the audience they had in TV was huge. Same goes for heart throbs like Rajeev, Iqbal, etc. I’m happy Vikranth found success in both tv and films, he’s a great actor.

It is true

And I feel bollywood is also insecure of tv actors.

I remember reading a ranveer singh interview in 2011 where he said people suggested him to do tv and he refused because no body becomes a star from tv . There was only one srk and one vidya balan

But the next year only Ayushman Khurana and then Sushant singh proved them wrong

Wahi Kundra tacker and ritwik etc these are some who did the talwe chatting of karan Johar.

Those who respected just their medium are stars today be it tv or films.

There is some truth to that because tv, especially itv, creates overexposure and leads to, I dunno, stagnation in acting skills. People who can watch u on tv 24/7 would rarely spend more than 200 bucks for two hourd of your content. Itv is notorious for not only hammy acting but also bad hours and random script changes.

Also, TV is great money, grassroot fame. without the uncertainty of Bollywood. You are essentially jobless between two movies. Ranveer must have struggled to survive what with only one abroad vacation and whatnot Many talented tv actors work incessantly there to secure the bank.

The actors who are great and transitioned to fims either have arthouse niche like Barun or have had very moderate success like Radhika or Yami. And these people also stopped working in tv after 1-2 shows. Someone like Gurmeet or KSG (who is a great actor) just fails. Also connections really matter. Which is why most suck up to EK.

Character acting is completely different tho.

He is right… everyone wants the exposure from TV but doesn’t want to be associated with TV, because it often seen as illogical, too desi and juvenile. Himself included… cuz I cant recall him going back to TV…😂😂😂

but yes, From sridevi to Madhuri to salman to AB, all did TV. If we ignore the idea or recreating SRKs career graph, We all know the success stories from TV, Mrunal, Rashika, Sushant, Ayushman, Pankaj Tripathi… they all say it’s very cutthroat, gruelling hours and you have to produce content at breakneck speed.

An who is this guy ?

Vikrant is a fool.....How can someone look down on TV when it has Mega stars like AB Sr ,Salman Khan and SRK host shows on TV....Kapil's show has all the big stars come and promote their movies on TV...

Someone is getting too big for his boots...

To think he was referring to all these megastars as ‘so called’ superstars and no one is having a problem with it, imagine if the Rans said it. 🤣

Ekta Kapoor ka latest heart throb atbb movie theaters are full difficult to get tickets

Many tv stars are much better at acting.

I never see actors as A-listers or B-grade et al.

I see acting skills, face and eye expressions and dialogue delivery.

I see Aruna Irani a great actor than Deepika Padukone, though Deepika has a more fan following.
