Most of you have seen this actor that the blind item is talking about. He was in one of the biggest hits of this year and despite him not being the lead actor, he managed to grab people’s attention and their hearts.

We have mentioned before how he made his debut in ‘Inside Edge’, an Amazon exclusive online show. He was such a cutie on that show and we are excited to see what season two will put his character in. In that show, his character is completely innocent and still uncorrupted by fame and money since it’s the beginning for him as a young cricket player.

🤡🤡

His character on that show is a little similar to the lead’s character in this film. In this film, he plays someone, who has swag and is super cool. He was so good and looked quite natural as a rapper, especially when he rapped. His movements along with his rapping were in sync.

Since he appeared alongside the lead actor in the music video they did before the film released. Why did the marketing hide him from the media and public? It seemed as if they waited for the film to release and when they saw how everyone loved him, only then they released him to the media. It’s why you only got to see his interviews after the film released.

This TV show and the film were both produced by the same production house. The film is in collaboration with the director’s production house, but it’s not a big deal since the other production house is her brother’s.

Now, the blind item from Mumbai Mirror is saying that a lot of producers and directors were interested in signing this actor. Naturally, he was excited but then he heard nothing back. He found out that this production house (one of these two or both) has been asking those interested in signing him to also sign them on as co-producers.

If you remember, we just told you yesterday how this is now KebabJo’s tactic of giving his production house work and money. Every movie that his Aloo Paratha gets (by his request), his production house co-produces the film. This company too seems to be looking into doing the same thing with this young actor.

To be fair, they did discover him.

First, the brother launched in that web series then the sister launched him in her film. But…If he didn’t sign up with a deal that makes the brother-sister duo as his co-producers, it does not make sense that they are telling others their rule of getting onboard as the film’s co-producers.

Yes, the brother’s production house has been in trouble for a while now. So maybe they are thinking if they use KJo’s method of staying relevant, the company might survive.

Soon, you will find other production houses do the same now. Like Nadiadwala launched Tiger, but he ain’t doing that anytime soon since he is like the most successful producer in Bollywood right now. Even Yash Raj, who have launched Ranveer and Anushka. They have not thought of doing something like this for now. Maybe they will since their last film pretty much sunk their company’s money. This is like slavery for actors, they won’t have freedom anymore.

This young actor deserves to be in more movies. He should work around whatever deal he made with them or redo his contract. Because the company cannot come out and do something like this if there is no contract involved.

He struggled for over 6 years and like Meghan Markle once said: it’s his time now. Actually, she said it for her and Prince Harry’s love story, but it still works.

Check out the blind item from Mumbai Mirror.

Bollywood Blind Item

THIS super-talented newbie, who has earned enviable reviews for his recent blockbuster (where he played second lead), was approached by several filmmakers after the movie’s release. Needless to say, his excitement knew no bounds. But soon, some of his offers started to fizzle out.

He then learned that the production house that had launched him was telling all and sundry that his new producers would have to sign the house as co-producers.
