Abhimanyu Singh slams industry for remaking South films while ignoring real talent, good stories: ‘Kya dimaag ghaas charne chala gaya hai’ | Bollywood News

Many star kids have been launched in recent times. However, very few have been able to make an impression on the audience. Despite leaving both the audience and critics unimpressed with their performances, some of them have managed to bag multiple projects. In a recent interaction, actor Abhimanyu Singh spoke about this and shared how nepotism isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but not giving due recognition to real talent is.
Speaking to Filmygyan, Abhimanyu said, “Big people are sitting idle with no work, so if nepotism was very effective, then all kids of the superstars would be superstars. Nepotism can help star kids get introduced to filmmakers because their parents are familiar with this environment, but at the end, star kids only have to deliver the work. Till the time that doesn’t happen, they can’t be successful irrespective of the family you are born in.”
Talking about star kids getting multiple opportunities to prove themselves, he said, “You have to focus on your work. In terms of deserving and non-deserving, this world isn’t a fair place, everybody doesn’t get their due. But I will agree that talent should be brought forth. We have a lot of talent in the film industry, but it isn’t reaching the correct place. We have talented writers sitting at tea stalls.”

He added, “Producers are waiting for talented people and talented people aren’t able to reach them. We have to build a structure so that this gap is filled. Somewhere it is wrong, because if the film industry has so many talented people, why aren’t they able to reach heights? Why are we needing to remake South films? Kya dimaag ghaas charne chala gaya hai? We can’t write a story?”
Recently, Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan made his debut with Karan Johar’s Naadaaniyan, which received poor reviews from critics and the audience. The film also starred Khushi Kapoor, who made her debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, which received mixed reviews, and later went on to star in Loveyapa, which was a box office disaster. Ajay Devgn’s nephew Aaman Devgan also made an unremarkable entry into Bollywood with Azaad.
