Moreover, the filmmaker claimed that the anti-nepotism crowd was being unfair to talented star kids like Ranbir and Alia. He even challenged people to find 'better actors' than Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, which annoyed many actors and netizens. 

In the same interview, R Balki accepted that star kids did have it easier than outsiders. However, he argued that while star kids got a break easily, they needed to work hard just like everyone else if they wanted to succeed. He also stated that talented people always got an opportunity in Bollywood even if they were outsiders.
