Vidyut Jammwal, asked about nepotism, compares himself to ‘beggar knocking at car window’

Actor Vidyut Jammwal, asked about nepotism in a new interview, compared himself to someone from a desolate field, and a beggar knocking at the window of a car.

Actor Vidyut Jammwal, speaking about nepotism in the film industry, has compared himself to someone from a desolate field and a beggar knocking on a car window. Vidyut was recently put in the spotlight after his film, Khuda Haafiz, was excluded from Disney+ Hotstar’s virtual event.

He added, “Some fields are watered by the river. Some fields are dead. Someone who comes from the dead fields can’t be destroyed. I am that person.”

On the other hand, Vidyut also said that he loves nepotism. He said, “I believe in this whole thing of nepotism. I love nepotism. If you’re my friend and your son wants to be an actor, I will make sure that he becomes an actor. Otherwise, what am I your friend for? But, I will not stop somebody else. That’s the only change (we need to make).”

In June, Vidyut had written in a tweet that he hadn’t even been invited to participate in Disney+ Hotstar’s event, announcing seven films. Only five were given representation at the event. “A BIG announcement for sure!! 7 films scheduled for release but only 5 are deemed worthy of representation. 2 films, receive no invitation or intimation. It’s a long road ahead. THE CYCLE CONTINUES,” he wrote.
