The debate about nepotism in Bollywood has been ignited once again. The debate spread as wildfire on social media after the death of Kedarnath actor Sushant Singh Rajput. This debate over nepotism and groupism contributed to Sushant Singh Rajput's reasons for suicide has led to many star kids like Sooraj Pancholi, Arjun Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor, and many others being discussed in the context of perhaps having it easier than an 'outsider'.

This debate that started after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death led to the actor’s brother developing an app called Nepotistic for the film audience. This app rates the overall involvement of star kids and film family connections to a certain project. Nepotistic recently rated Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur starrer Sadak 2 98% on the Nepometer.

But this rating was criticised by Bollywood director Milap Zaveri. The Marjaavaan director took to Twitter and hit out against the app for the rating it gave to Mahesh Bhatt directed Sadak 2. While slamming the app on Twitter, Milap Zaveri called it “absolutely ridiculous”. He also said that all the people involved with the film Sadak 2 have delivered blockbuster films due to their “talent” and the love they receive from the audience. In his tweet, the Bollywood director also said that the nepotism debate is a “joke”.
