It is so hard for a guy to enter Bollywood.

I have friends who are good looking and taken acting lessons and people are not interested in launching them.

Its just old men who are rich, producer, star sons. All influential men who Barr any new guys from entering.

With the exception of a few they don't get proper launchings so their films flop.

Only guys they will give a chance to are TV actors who have a fan base so the producers think it will transfer to box office records.

Women as long as you are attractive, dance or act the faces will keep changing.

With guys NOPE! You need to be rich, related to someone in the industry etc.

In the last few years name 3 guys given proper launches in Bollywood who don't come from film families.

Yes...its a lot more difficult to men to get a break and sustain especially if they have no connections.

I have a friend who was offered a film after being selected at casting.

Ready to finalise the moving to Mumbai.

Only to be told the producers decided to go with some industry kid.

Then they offered him a supporting role as a college friend.

Absolutely appalling. He could not do anything as he did not sign any contract.

Boo to Bollywood. Its all fake.

yup...thats true. In this generation SRK, Akki, Sid and SSR are outsiders. Only SRK and Akki can be considered successful and established actors at this point. SRK and SSR did television first. And everyone does say that Sid had to compromise. Even if we don't look at the rumors, the ratio of men without connections is quite less.
Women without connections on the other hand are still more. Mads, Sridevi, Bips, Aish, Preity Zinta, Vidya Balan, PC, Katrina, DP, Anu, Kangu are all outsiders and did so well. For women, the criteria is to look good, dance well and act decently.

The family want to forget the experience.

I wont post any personal info here. I was not there..

All I know is he was getting ready to relocate and told all that can be offered is a side role. Extra.

So, why should a producer put in crores of rupees to give some nobody a Grand launch? Welcome to the real world. You have to start out small just like everywhere. Nobody becomes a CEO of a corporation unless...its the Owners Son.

Tell your friend to go try in television or become a successful model and then think about a 'Grand Launch'. If he's good enough, he'll get there like tons of others, like Ayushman, Arjun R, John. If not, try theatre. Everyone started out small including SRK and Akshay.
