I'll talk about Malayalam since that's where my roots are.
For every Fahad Faasil and Dulquer Salman, there is a Nivin Pauly and a Tovino Thomas. Soubin, Suraaj, Nimisha, Kani Kusruthy, Parvathy, Sai Pallavi, Meera Jasmine... the list is long.
Asin, Nayantara came from Malayalam cinema. They were not nepos.
In Tamil, Rajnikanth is still the biggest. He was not a nepo though his children and in-laws are.
Vijay Sethupathi, Ajith... I believe are not nepos.
Even in Telugu, Vijay Devarakonda is not nepo.
Yes, nepotism is there in South India also. Difference is there is no KJo sitting there and doing promo for nepos and grabbing roles for his preferred people. Nor is anyone proclaiming NTR Jr as the greatest actor in all of India.
Doesn't matter.....If nepotism is wrong...its wrong...no excuses.....like I said.....even for the most brilliant nepo actor.....there must be a better outsider who lost his chance because it wasn't an open audition....
Let us not mix up nepotism with bullying, harassment, stealing roles.....these are wrong anywhere and everywhere....if you are against nepotism be against it ...it doesn't matter what the spin offs are....I don't buy when people support blatant nepotism with excuses........KJo is a douchebag...he doesn't represent BW.
