Favouritism debate: Tota says it’s a matter of survival here

Sushant Singh Rajput’s tragic death has led to a hot debate on nepotism, not only in Bollywood, but in the Bengali industry as well. Tota Roy Choudury who has been industry’s one of the most respected actors had maintained a dignified silence till now, but he has finally spoken out on the issue.
He said: “Tollywood is a small industry, controlled by a handful of people.I feel, there is no point flowing against the tide by protesting, as that will not take you anywhere. Rather, you will not get any work. It’s a matter of survival here.”
Elaborating on the issue, Tota further questions if an actor wants his son or daughter to join the industry, is that a crime? “Parents will always help his/her child. And that’s normal. But the child has to prove his worth in the long run. What is more dangerous than nepotism is blind favouritism. We all know, there are actors whose films flop at the box office. But they still get featured in the next film just because the producer considers him to be a ‘hit’ actor. But now, with the advent of OTT, this is going to change,” added the seasoned actor.
