Sudden demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s has once again brought focus on the alleged practice of nepotism in Bollywood and its unfortunate victims taking drastic steps. Adding his thoughts to the already raging debate, Lyricist Manoj Muntashir highlights the plight of writers and directors.
Lyricist Manoj Muntashir took to social media and wrote back to back two posts, asking propagators to “grow some real talent” in their backyard and to “make films within” their family.
The first tweet read, “Why is #Nepotism limited to actors? Barring a few exceptions, why these prestigious film families don’t produce writers and directors? Maybe because actors can be cultured in a Nepotism Laboratory and others are born talented? I’m just confused, pls help”
“I am not against #Nepotism, but let’s be fair. Please make films within your family. Grow some real talent in your backyard. Imagine today’s industry without the gems like @neerajpofficial @anuragkashyap72 @anubhavsinha #ImtiazAli @kabirkhankk #AnuragBasu N others with no big surname” read the second tweet.
Manoj is a celebrate song writer, who has given hits like Galliyan, Tere Sang Yaara, Kaun Tujhe, Teri Mitti and more
