Post the death of popular young actor Sushant Singh Rajput, nepotism debates have shrouded Bollywood, and now, Aamir Khan’s brother Faisal Khan has revealed that the Indian film industry is also a place of favoritism and bias. Faisal Khan made these shocking remarks while talking with Bollywood Hungama, and he recollected an incident where filmmaker Karan Johar insulted him without any reason.

The alleged incident which Faisal Khan recollected happened on the occasion of Aamir Khan’s 50th birthday bash. Faisal revealed that Karan Johar behaved in a weird manner with him, and the director intentionally insulted him while he was talking to someone.

“If your work flops, they don’t treat you well; they don’t even look at you and it has happened to me. On my brother’s 50th birthday, I was looked down upon by someone, I don’t wish to take the name. But, Karan Johar acted weird with me; he put me down. He insulted me when I was trying to talk to someone and trying to disconnect with the person I was talking to. So, a lot of such things have happened and even I have been through it,” said Faisal Khan.

Faisal Khan also talked about the bitter experience he faced from filmmakers even after he proved his mettle in the movie ‘Mela’ which also starred Aamir Khan in another prominent role.

However, Faisal made it clear that people without a film background can also mark their presence felt in the industry. According to Faisal Khan, star kids will get an initial advantage in the industry, but people will survive only according to their talent. He also cited the examples of Shah Rukh Khan, Ayushman Khurana and Akshay Kumar who made it big in Bollywood without the help of Godfathers.

“At the end of the day, you’ll get a break in the industry due to nepotism and favouritism. If your father is a big director then he can make a few calls and people to cast you, but you will have to prove your worth in the end. There’s no theory or formula for success,” added Faisal Khan.

At one point in time, she assured that nepotism had played a crucial role in the death of Sushant. The actress also made it clear that she is ready to return her Padma Shri if somebody proves her wrong.

And now, Aditya Pancholi has taken a dig at Kangana citing her statement regarding Padma Shri.

“Tell her to return it now because she is wrong about Sushant Singh Rajput. His father filed a report in Patna in which there is no angle of nepotism mentioned. He clearly said that Section 306 is on Rhea. When Kangana was naming industry people, she actually wasted everyone’s time,” Kangana told India Today.

A few days back, Kangana Ranaut had also lashed out at Aamir Khan for maintaining culpable silence in Sushant’s death case, despite considering the fact that the superstar has shared screen space with the deceased actor in the blockbuster movie PK.

In the meantime, Kangana Ranaut, on Friday announced that she has officially joined Twitter. Until now, the actress appeared on social media pages via a page managed by her team, and from now, she will be seen handling a Twitter page alone.

In an exclusive talk with Republic TV, Kangana questioned the reason behind the silence of many Bollywood actors when one of their co-stars died under mysterious circumstances. Making things clearer, Kangana named Aamir Khan and criticized him for maintaining culpable silence, even though he worked with Sushant in PK.

According to Kangana, the entire Bollywood is working as a gang, and people are afraid to talk as everyone are afraid of their career. Kangana also made it clear that Aamir Khan’s silence will affect Anushka Sharma too, and she will also do not talk in this regard anymore.

A couple of days back, Deepika Padukone had urged everyone to raise awareness of mental illness, citing Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. However, Kangana lashed out at Deepika too and claimed that the Padmavat actress has turned her depression episode into a business.

On the acting front, Kangana Ranaut will be next seen in the movie Thalaivi, which is being directed by AL Ravi. The film is based on the life of legendary Tamil politician J Jayalalitha. Aravind Swami will be seen playing the role of MG Ramachandran in this film, while Prakash Raj will play the character of M Karunanidhi.

The shooting of the film began on the final quarter of 2019. However, the production was halted due to the coronavirus outbreak. As the film demand many outdoor sequences, filming will most likely resume after the coronavirus lockdown measures.

A few days back that Aamir Khan, the Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood, met with Turkish first lady Emine Erdogan. The meeting of Aamir with Emine did not go well with his fans, as they claim that the actor decided to meet her at a time when the relationship between Turkey and India are getting strained. In the Kashmir issue, Emin had criticized India’s decision to scrap article 370 in Kashmir.

As Aamir Khan is now receiving negative criticisms from all corners, several Bollywood movie buffs have apparently started a campaign to dislike the trailer of Aamir’s upcoming movie ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. It should be noted that the trailer of Sadak 2 which was released recently had garnered millions of dislikes as audiences alleged the movie a product of nepotism.

Aamir Khan is widely considered one of the most talented actors in India, and he enjoys a huge fan following in all nooks of the nation. However, his decision to meet Erdogan could turn out to be a fatal mistake he ever committed in his life, as many people have started hate pages of the actor to degrade his upcoming movie. Some of these people even call Aamir Khan, an ‘epitome of hypocrisy’, and they argue that several Bollywood stars are currently a part of an anti-national campaign.

Amid all these uproars, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi has claimed that Turkey is the biggest invisible threat to India.

“Erdogan is on a mission to become a new self-appointed Caliph. He has always been anti-India and Turkey’s religious directorate under him is funding extremism in India. Turkey is the biggest invisible threat for India. Erdogan or any of his acquaintances shouldn’t be trusted,” said Singhvi.

Laal Singh Chaddha is being directed by Advait Chandan. The film is loosely based on Hollywood classic Forrest Gump. Kareena Kapoor is playing the role of lady lead in this film, while Kollywood star Vijay Sethupathi is making his Bollywood debut through this flick.

Laal Singh Chaddha was originally scheduled to have its theatrical release in December 2020. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, the makers have postponed the release of this film to Christmas 2021.
