For the past few years, audiences have been vocal about their dislike for nepotism. Now, with Netflix India announcing its upcoming movie Nadaaniyan, many are questioning whether it will escape the same backlash.
Why the speculation?
Because the film features Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, who are directly linked to Bollywood royalty—Saif Ali Khan and Sridevi. As the children of these legendary actors, they are inevitably being associated with their famous families rather than being judged solely on their talent.
As soon as the film was announced, controversies erupted. Many viewers remain intolerant of nepotism, with some even calling for Netflix’s downfall—an expected reaction given past trends.
The last time Netflix attempted to launch star kids was with The Archies, which faced heavy criticism. While the backlash wasn’t solely due to nepotism, the performances gave audiences enough reason to dislike the project.
With Nadaaniyan already receiving negative attention, things could take a turn for the worse. The film is being brutally trolled even before its release date has been announced.
