Mumbai. Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ proved to be a flop at the box office. His action-drama series ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, which came this year, also could not do anything special. He is being labeled as a flop hero. Despite the flop, many big star kids including Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor are continuously getting films. But it is becoming difficult to find small star kids. Meezaan Jaffrey, Utkarsh Sharma, Abhay Deol have been some such starkids. Even after good performance, these small star kids are not getting work, whereas big star kids are getting new and big projects even after flop.
Vicky Kaushal is the son of a veteran ex-director, but he also had to face a lot of rejections in the beginning of his career. Got small roles. But low budget ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’ brought him stardom. Varun Dhawan got big budget films right from the beginning. Found a big producer like Karan Johar. Vicky Kaushal became a self-made actor. Proved himself with ‘Uri’ and ‘Sardar Udham’.
Arjun Kapoor is also getting work
Arjun Kapoor has not given any special hit in his career till now, but he is getting work continuously. He was seen in the role of a villain in ‘Singham Again’, released on the occasion of Diwali. However, he is being appreciated a lot for this. Now his image has to be created in a negative role, just as Bobby Deol was seen in negative roles in many ‘Kanguwa’ after ‘Animal’. He will also be in a negative role in its Sri Harihar Veera Mallu.
Young star kids will have to prove themselves
Whereas, Utkarsh Sharma, who worked as a child artist in ‘Gadar’. Then he also appeared in ‘Gadar 2’. Apart from this, he also played the lead role in the recently released ‘Vanvas’. Apart from his father Anil Sharma, no one else is casting him. He too will have to prove himself like Vicky Kaushal. Something similar happened with Luv Sinha also.
Debate between big and small star kids in the industry
Nepotism is not just black and white in Bollywood. This is a spectrum where some special star kids have the support of people inside the industry and big producers, who are getting work even after failures. While other starkids have to make their way without any support. The audience has also started to understand that there is no outsiders-insiders debate in the industry. In fact, there is also a debate between the big and small star kids. They are giving competition to the children of such big artists like Vicky Kaushal. Prateek Babbar is also a similar name. Now the time has come that big producers should also invest money in such artists who put their talent ahead and not their surname.
