Bollywood is often associated with glitz and glam, but the reality of building fame, overcoming the “nepo-kid” label, and dealing with social media negativity is less known. Recently, producer Jackky Bhagnani shared his insights on the current state of Bollywood, the journey of being both an actor and producer, and how to sustain a career in the industry. Having experienced a rise from humble beginnings, Bhagnani has made his mark as a filmmaker and opened doors for newcomers.
The labels of 'nepotism' and 'nepo-kid' persist, but Jackky Bhagnani has faced his own set of challenges. Despite working alongside his father, Vashu Bhagnani, and inheriting a legacy of cinematic excellence, Jackky’s journey has been about exceeding expectations and setting higher standards for Indian cinema. While having access to various aspects of the film industry offers some advantage, he emphasizes that it's up to the individual to leverage that experience effectively.
While 'nepotism' has garnered attention in Bollywood, it’s worth considering that this culture exists across many industries. Having spent years in the film industry, Jackky Bhagnani discusses the challenge of sustainability. With experience as both an actor and producer, he notes that staying relevant in the industry involves a mix of being in the right place at the right time, having an evolved perspective, and, to some extent, luck.
He also touched on the current trends in film, including the unpredictable nature of content creation, the shifting dynamics between established and rising actors, and audience awareness. Additionally, Bhagnani explained how delays in films often happen due to the unavailability of A-listers, their high demand among directors, and the changing landscape of Indian cinema. Post-pandemic, audience behavior regarding theater visits has shifted, resulting in fluctuating ticket prices and changes in the overall film business.
Jackky Bhagnani emphasized that viewers are now more selective with their time. Filmmakers must work harder to engage audiences and convince them that a film is worth their attention. Bhagnani also addressed the ongoing 'insider-outsider' debate, pointing out that in today’s volatile industry, success ultimately comes down to hard work.
On the work front, Jackky Bhagnani recently announced the theatrical re-release of Biwi No. 1 , with the iconic comic caper set to hit theaters on December 29, 2024. Along with the trailer, Bhagnani also shared that his upcoming project, Ashwatthama: The Saga Continues , is in the works.
Starring Shahid Kapoor, the film is directed by Sachin Ravi and produced under Bhagnani's Pooja Entertainment banner.
