We have written a few blind items about this young actor before. While his PR keeps trying to loudly position him as one of Bollywood’s biggest crowd pullers among the younger crowd, the reality on the ground seems well… less glamorous, like not even close. A veteran producer recently let it slip in private circles that he took losses of nearly ₹27 crore on one of the actor’s recent OTT releases. What actually bothered him even more was his indifferent attitude afterward. Industry insiders say the actor never really reached out to ask if the producer needed help during the crisis phase, and maybe that small thing mattered more than anyone wants to admit. A large number of people feel this incident has quietly dented his reputation with multiple senior producers. At the same time, the trailer of his upcoming romantic comedy, directed by his filmmaker father, hasn’t sparked much excitement online at all. Social media users have been calling it outdated, loud, and stuck in a filmmaking style audiences already moved beyond, like years ago. Trade experts are also predicting a weak opening unless the music somehow turns into a full-on rage.
Apart from the kinda underwhelming response, there’s this growing chatter that the actor’s image has started to look overly manufactured. Like, a few people within the industry feel that his comic antics and hyperactive public appearances don’t really feel organic anymore, not even a little. Then there’s also gossip that many A-list actresses are no longer that keen on working with him unless the banner is exceptionally strong or the deal is too good to refuse. What has really shocked most people is the whisper that his father — once considered one of Bollywood’s most reliable hitmakers — might quietly step away from directing after this film’s release. Some insiders think even he realizes that the audience pulse has changed, pretty drastically. The industry has also noticed that his solo box office pull is nowhere near what his PR projects online are pushing. And despite the constant visibility, the excitement around his films seems to fade with every release, like step by step.
