Aditya Chopra earns praise for comment on not being able to make Uday Chopra a star

Bollywood producer & YRF head honcho Aditya Chopra made the rarest of rare on camera appearance in the new docuseries, The Romantics by Netflix. Adi Chopra’s views on nepotism and how even his huge film company Yash Raj Films couldn’t make his brother Uday Chopra a star has won him praise from the moviegoers.

Aditya Chopra has talked about nepotism in The Romantics and why Uday Chopra couldn’t go far in his acting career. He said, “My brother is an actor and he’s not a very successful actor. Now, here is the son of one of the biggest filmmakers, he’s the brother of a very big filmmaker.

Imagine a company like YRF, that has probably launched the most newcomers, and we could not make him a star. Why could we not do it for our own? Because the bottom line is, only an audience will decide, ‘I like this person, I want to see this person’. No one else can decide that.”

Moviegoers and netizens who watched the show have praised the filmmaker for his blunt and honest views.
