    Well i want to know why almost all casting call description wants “fair or tall” actors, and dusky or dark complexion is casted as a poor background character? Can colourism be discussed in the process in future casting directors adda. Also can we define whats “pretty and attractive and beautiful” these are terms used a lot in these casting calls. Who can define what beautiful is when beauty is subjective. An actor would read these and already feel insecure for even going for these auditions as all these terms are put in place.

    Star kids are recommended by producers because in audiences there's always a demand. For producers, it's a safe bet. India as a country is nepotistic. Be it politics, cinema, everything. We are the country that chose a single family to run the country for about 60 years. And we call India democracy.

    I don’t understand why there is such a hot debate on nepotism, because most of the nepotism kids bleed money for the producers and go into oblivion. Only the good ones last as they become audiences favorite. The biggest recent example being the high budget movie “Genius” which was extremely rejected as a C grade movie.
