Nepotism in the Industry: Manchu Vishnu’s Stand
One of the most discussed topics in the Indian film industry in recent years has been nepotism. The conversation around this issue has gained significant traction, and Vishnu took the opportunity to share his opinion on the matter. He acknowledged that the term “nepotism” has been widely used in the industry for the past few years, and he has clarified his stance on it multiple times.
Vishnu firmly stated that nepotism does not work in the film industry and that opportunities don’t arise simply because of one’s family connections. He explained, “If a new actor’s father or mother is a hero, heroine, or producer, the first movie offer may be easier to get. However, whether the audience accepts an actor or not is entirely based on their talent.” He emphasized that no matter how big an actor’s family background may be, if the actor lacks the talent to impress the audience, they will not succeed in the industry. Vishnu further questioned, “Why would the audience come to theaters to watch my films if I do not have the talent to entertain them?” He believes that talent is the key to staying relevant in the industry, regardless of one’s family ties.
