Nepotism is a complex issue that exists in many industries and is not unique to the film industry. While it is important to acknowledge and address nepotism and its impact on opportunities for individuals outside of film families, it is equally important to recognize that talent and hard work can also play a significant role in success in the industry.
Though there are several stars who are nepo kids in the Telugu film industry, there are actors who made it big without any background. Ravi Teja, Nani, Nikhil, and Vijay Deverakonda are the best examples who made it through their talent and hard work.
‘Natural Star’ Nani who was the guest on Smitha’s talk show ‘Nijam with Smitha’ opened up about nepotism in the film industry. He said that it’s the audience who is encouraging nepotism and not the industry people. He cited an example that his first movie was watched by 1 lakh people while Ram Charan’s first movie was watched by 1 crore people.
It is important to understand the context and intended meaning behind Nani’s comments on nepotism. It appears that Nani was not condoning or promoting nepotism in the film industry, but rather pointing out that the audience plays a significant role in promoting and supporting films featuring actors from film families.
