Vikram Bhatt On Nepotism: ‘I'm Sick And Tired Of This Debate, No Amount Of Father's Pot Of Gold Can Make You A Star’
Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt gives his strong opinion on the ongoing debate about nepotism, shares only talent will achieve success and audience are the key players in it
Debates on nepotism, outsider v/s insider have been the talk of the town, especially in the entertainment business for years now. And this debate just became more evident with the sudden death of young actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Finally giving out his opinions on the same, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, in conversation with Times Now Digital, explained what makes a person a star or makes him taste failure, keeping in mind the debate on outsider v/s insider. He came across pretty irked with this never-ending discussion.
He said, “I have no take on this debate, I'm sick and tired of this debate, I think it's a non-issue.” He goes on to state, not all-star kids are successful, sometimes they too taste failure compared to an outsider achieving great height and vice-versa. He says, “There have been examples of nepotism being successful, examples of nepotism failing. There are examples of people coming from outside and becoming big and then there are people from outside who don't become big. There is a bit of both in both. And I think too much has been made of this debate.”
Shedding light on talent, the Twisted director feels, if one is talented he/she will soon taste success, with nepotism being just an opportunity and not success because ultimately the audience will decide. “If you have real talent, you are going to make it sooner a lot. And nepotism is always about an opportunity, not a success, I think that you are made a star, not by nepotism, you're made a star by the audience. The audience decides to see your movies, the audience decides to make you a star,” adds Vikram.
On the concluding note, he mentions, only the audience can make a person a star and no amount of money, influence and so on. He says, “Nobody and nothing can make you a star except for the audience. No amount of money, no amount of influence, no amount of father's pot of gold can make you a star. "See the audience, the audience, and only the audience.” ALSO READ: Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt Terms Nepotism Debate As 'Nonsense'; Says, 'Audiences Made Ranbir Kapoor And Alia Bhatt Stars, Not Their Fathers'
He also doesn’t ignore the fact that nepotism is about getting that opportunity, but urges people to stop blaming it, “And yes, not everyone gets an opportunity, nepotism is about the opportunity. But if you're talented, you will make it sooner or later. And if you're not, for God's sake, stop blaming nepotism.” ALSO READ: Vikram Bhatt Says Someone Told Him That 'Drugs Are Served In Trays In High Profile Bollywood Parties'; Reveals Not Attending Any In Past 20 Years
