Recently, Bollywood's outsider star Aditya Seal was seen in the 2019 film, Student Of The Year 2, produced by Karan Johar.
He does not agree with the allegation that nepotism reigns in the film industry and, without taking names, takes some person has glamourised the word.
"I did 'Ek Chotisi Love Story' and 'Purani Jeans', where I was launched. There was another film, 'Tum Bin II' where I was re-launched and then I did 'Student Of The Year 2'. So, for me I don't understand the theory of insider-outsider at all because me being an outsider and getting launched and re launched -- why would anyone do that?" Aditya revealed to a media source.
"If they see something in me, if they see I have the skill set which they feel is right for their film, they have taken me. Nepotism word does not resonate with me," he revealed.
Aditya looks at the situation from the point of view of a producer: "I would want to have somebody 'jiske naam pe main picture bech sakun (someone on whose name I can sell the film)', and someone for whom the audience come and watch the film," he said.
Without mentioning any name, he said the word "nepotism" has been unduly spotlighted and is just stupidity.
"This word has been glamourised. Kisi be-akal insaan ne is word ko glamourise kiya hai (some brainless person has glamourised the word). Usko sochke karna chahiye tha (they should have thought about it). It is just stupidity," Aditya told.
On the film front, Aditya will next be seen in "Anamika", a story that is a part of four films about forbidden love. It is helmed by Priyadarshan.
