Subhash Ghai talks about Nepotism in Bollywood

During his exclusive interview, Subhash Ghai was asked about what has fuelled the fire of whole nepotism in Bollywood debate. Responding to this, Subhash Ghai mentioned that the nepotism has been replaced with a system of merit. He said, “Over the years, the Indian film industry has grown to be one of the world’s largest, with some of the most talented people in the world working on productions. This has also meant that competition is intense and that the sort of money that goes into creating each film is massive. In this scenario, I don’t believe that nepotism is a factor. Instead, it’s been replaced by a system of merit, that sees the best and most deserving person assigned any given job.”
