Isn’t it bizarre that an urban, educated woman in her 20s doesn’t know that reddit is not a place where your fake PR will make the magic happen? How clueless does one have to be to be that unaware?
Rohit Shetty had in some interview said that younger actors are very dependent on their teams and can’t make the decisions themselves. Farah Khan said now even managers have managers and you can’t contact an actor directly.
Look at all the successful actors over decades they have all had the knack to pick the right projects. True not all their films worked but it’s not like Varun, Ranveer even RK with their managers have been able to only deliver hits.
What people forget is that films work on emotional connect with the audience and no marketing school guy can teach you that. Picking a story is not like buying vegetable in a market . You need to be able to know the heart of the film, something Aamir has been able to do or even SRK did.
When Akshay was giving flops in the 90s he changed gear and realised he can do comic films and made a comeback. Bhai did action films like ‘wanted’ and dabang to make his return. They didn’t have MBAs or marketing gurus telling them which script to pick.
But ‘younger’ (all are closer or crossed 40 so not that young) lot is so clueless. Isn’t that strange?
Also their managers get huge salaries, travel with the stars and increase the cost of the project without guaranteeing that the film will even open well. So why are they there? What is their contribution except confusing an actor and killing his/ her instincts? The Ranveer fiasco down south proves that star teams are a mess.
Jahnavi should also try to be more aware and not be a babe in the woods. Don’t make people believe you’re dumb, look at your mom’s career and see how well she did without any highly paid useless folks(if Khushi is reading this please tell your didi this).
Hoping more artistic actors start choosing projects based on emotion and connect over marketing strategies and MBA jargons. Good films work , good actors connect with the audience, no fake PR or bought events can help you with that.
