Dhadak, the official remake of Marathi superhit movie ‘ Sairat’ is a great opportunity for its lead role who are starting their career in Indian cinema. Though Ishaan Khatter has already gained fame from well applauded ‘Beyond the clouds’ under Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi, for Janhvi Kapoor the movie will be her first appearance on silver screen.
The duo has constantly found themselves trapped into the controversies related to nepotism as the two have a background which lessens their effort in Bollywood. Janhvi have already opened up about her view on such allegations of enjoying the success of her parents, actress Sridevi and film producer Boney Kapoor.
But it was the first instance when Ishaan, the son of veteran actor Neelima Azeem and Rajesh Khatter and also the half-brother of tremendous actor Shahid Kapoor, spoke up on nepotism. “I believe everybody has their own destiny and will. To apply this concept of nepotism to every person who is related to films, I feel is generalization. I can’t say in general people have it easier or tougher, I can only tell you my experiences. If I’ve to talk about myself, I am fortunate and proud of the family I am from, not only because it has given me opportunities to work in films but because I have been able to learn and derive so much from them since a very young age. It’s a personal thing.” Ishaan expressed in an interview with The Indian Express.
About the opportunity that he received in his acting career, he said: “I am passionate about becoming an actor. I am lucky that I got to learn from them and there’s no resistance to it. As far as opportunities go, Karan sir (Karan Johar) met me. I don’t think a man of his experience will be careless with his decisions. For my first film with Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi, he auditioned me and he had no idea about my family background. If anything, that knowledge would have killed my chances as he didn’t want anyone to bring any baggage on the sets. So, that’s how my journey has been so far.”
Well, talent speaks in against nepotism and if both of the things work together than its a different history. In only a day audience will by themselves decide that they deserve the love and appraise that they are receiving as Dhadak is scheduled to release on 20th July.
