Bollywood launching star kids isn’t a new phenomenon. It is as old as the industry itself.
In recent times, many star kids have been forced upon the audience and marketed as the next big thing. Unfortunately, they simply lack the skills to justify the hype.

There is an interesting conspiracy theory circulating about the launch of nepo kids in Bollywood.
Launching a star kid with a terrible film might seem counterintuitive, but it could actually be a calculated move.

If the first film is so bad that expectations hit rock bottom, even a slightly improved second film can create the impression that the star has drastically improved.
This shifts the audience’s perception from seeing them as a flop product of nepotism to an actor who has shown remarkable growth.

The bar is set so low that even a minor improvement makes it seem like they have made significant progress.
Take Nadaaniyan, for instance. The film is terrible and has received underwhelming reviews from many people.
Ibrahim Ali Khan was clearly not skilled enough acting-wise or dancing-wise to play the part.
However, if this conspiracy theory is true, his next film will likely show a slight improvement in his acting skills.
This would give critics and the media an opportunity to promote the film by highlighting how much he has improved as an actor.
Such cheap and dirty tricks not only buy the star kid time to train and improve but also manipulate audience perception.
