I havent watched the movie. This may get closed coz well there is a KSG Thread in this Forum. I am biased towards the guy. And, with due respect to your sentiments, I do understand, it is sickening to see someone talented fall. But well. Bias as I said.
If he wanted to try it out, it is for him to decide right? Sometimes people learn only from experience? And in connection with this debut thing ALONE, let me add, Ranbir Kapoor too, bared in his debut film (Like literally😆), yet the movie flopped. Back then, people went on saying, Ya, star kids can't act. But now he is one of the most sought after actors. Yes. Comparison ends there.
KSG and he are in different worlds. So no comparison between actors. What I said was in context with DEBUT. So do not rake up an issue anyone!
And first movie doesn't necessarily decide your career. There are umpteen examples for the positive, same for negative. Some do well in debut, later are missing. Some do badly, yet improve.
There is no strict formula to succeed. Ya. KSG maybe better as a TV guy... I felt the same when I saw the trailers. Though both have stripped, there wasn't chemistry. Sad. Good luck to him!
