Right after the shocking suicide of Bollywood's upcoming and young actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the majority of actors in Bollywood raised their voice against nepotism in the industry. They exposed how star kids and influential celebrities are crushing talented people without having any background. This triggered massive outrage in the industry and fans started trolling them on social media.
There is no denying that nepotism exists in other languages also. But unlike in Bollywood, none in the south raised their voice against nepotism. The same is the case with Tollywood and those who spoke about nepotism said they never faced and star kids are always friendly with them. Even maverick director Ram Gopal Varma came in support of nepotism saying it exists everywhere.
This is sending signals that people are scared of raising their voice against nepotism in the industry for the fear of losing offers. There are many influential families. Whether they have a talent or not, most of the offers come to them and their films release all round the year.
This thought is there in everyone's mind but none are raising their voices. However many upcoming young heroes though did not come out in open are of the opinion that nepotism is very high in Tollywood. Many heroes also allege that forget about getting offers, when they plan to release their films, nepotism comes as a stumbling block.
They say only star kids films get good release dates and popular theatres while they will get sidelined. What is surprising is even Manchu family heroes are saying that people are not allowing them to get theatres. However, no one is daring to raise their voice against nepotism in Tollywood.
