Emraan Hashmi is awaiting the release of his new web series Showtime, which revolves around the issue of nepotism in the film industry. In a new interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Emraan opened up about the discussion around nepotism, which was started by actor Kangana Ranaut a few years ago. Imran said that he found Kangana’s statements surprising. (Also Read: Showtime Trailer: Karan Johar makes a show on nepotism in Bollywood. Watch)
What did Imran say?
In the interview, Imran said in Hindi, “Personally, I like Kangana very much as an artiste.” It is possible that he may have had some bad experiences in the film industry. I have worked with him in Gangster. He had a more important lead role than me in that film. That’s why he got exposure from that film. So, I don’t think only people in favor of nepotism get a chance. Although Kangana may have her own opinion, it is wrong to blame the entire industry. There may be some. Not everyone in the industry is a drug addict.
Kangana and Imran first worked together in Gangster, and then worked together in several films including Raaz: The Mystery Continues, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai and Ungli.
