Tollywood is as bad as Bollywood when it comes to people who got limited talent given big launch, big projects..
But Tamil and Malayalam movie industry are really amazing.. Because audience expectations are really high, if you can't act or can't get their approval, then its over for you.. You have nice balance of nepo kids and self made superstars and they all have talent.. You wouldn't see average talented, average looking with zero sex appeal like Alia lasting more than 2 movies.. Same goes for Ranbir - you cannot survive in these industries with planting fake blinds, famous for your breakups and average movies..
I love Tamil movie industry and got so much respect for the audience for always promoting talent over labels /looks.. I mean Vikram, Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi , Suriya, Ajith, Dhanush, Madhavan, Siddharth to name a few and then nepo kids like Simbu, Prabhas etc.. They are all super talented and very versatile, they dont stick to one character. They have nice balance of people who can act and bring magic to screens, compared to Bollywood. This gen Bollywood got more nepo products than non star kids - shows the reality of the situation.
