Nepotism in the Bollywood industry has become a hot topic of discussion in the past few years, and actor Emraan Hashmi agrees to it. During a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, the actor, who바카라™s gearing up for the release of his series 바카라˜Showtime,바카라™ shared his thoughts on the never-ending nepotism debate and also highlighted former co-star Kangana Ranaut바카라™s claims on the same.

When asked about how he perceives the industry post the pandemic, Hashmi stated, 바카라œThere was a lot of negativity towards the industry after COVID, and even after the Sushant Singh Rajput episode, and the Boycott Bollywood trend for that matter. There was a resentment, where the entertainment industry was focused on singularly.바카라

Heaping praise on his 바카라˜Gangster바카라™ co-star Kangana Ranaut, he also acknowledged her challenges. 바카라œI like Kangana a lot personally, as an artist, and a person. Maybe she might have had some bad experiences in the film industry. My experience with Kangana was such, that I had given a hit that time, but still in 바카라˜Gangster바카라™ I took the villain바카라™s role where she was given center stage. It was almost like a female-centric film. So, I don바카라™t know when this perception about the industry started and people started saying that we all are drug addicts or the industry only works through nepotism. I think it is dumbfounding and not true.바카라

For those who are not completely familiar, it was the actress herself who called renowned producer-director Karan Johar 바카라˜a flagbearer of nepotism바카라™ and 바카라˜movie mafia바카라™ on his talk-show 바카라˜Koffee with Karan바카라™ back in 2016. Now almost a decade later, Emraan Hashmi-led 바카라˜Showtime바카라™ is being released, which narrates around the premises of nepotism in the film industry.

As for 바카라˜Showtime,바카라™ it will be available to stream on Disney+ Hotstar on March 8. It also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Mouni Roy, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Shriya Saran in key roles.
