Faridoon Shahryar is a well known cine critic who keeps bringing insider updates from B-town through his podcast and shows. He has also worked closely with celebs and publicists in his career and his recent revelations have left the fans in shock.
Without naming the star who came up to him with these complaints he shared a set of issues that were highlighted to him. The star was angry that some insiders keep working amongst themselves and nepotism has ruined the ability for better stars to come forward.
Many netizens started discussing who it could have been, some felt maybe it was Raj Kumar Rao or Ayushman Khurrana. Many even raised names of recent successes like Abhay Verma or Raghav Juyal.
This star also revealed to Faridoon the crude business of publicity gained by using paid reviews, corporate bookings and self-brandishing using paid social media force.
Stating Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan as example he shared how Shanaya Kapoor was launched in a disastrous film despite having potential, yet she is getting hyped all over the place only because of her nepo-kid status.
This curbs the creative freedom of artists, long gone is the era when content was enough to speak for itself and now the decline of Bollywood has taken away a hold it had on international level.
Faridoon’s revelation has started a dialogue online. Fans hope that B-town insiders who enjoy a mafia status understand this and let go of their unfair trade practices.
