Kunal Kapoor: Audiences are exposed to content from across the world, so you really have to push the envelope to grab their attention

Amid the

insider-outsider

debate in Bollywood, ‘Gold’

actor Kunal Kapoor

said that the audience is only interested in what’s brought to the screen, and added that they don’t really care about the fame of the actor’s parents and relatives. He reiterated how nepotism is prevalent in every other sector, but people are not interested in the artistes’ legacy. “You have audiences that are exposed to so much content from across the world, which is why you really have to push the envelope to grab their attention,” he said during an interview with a news publication.

Kunal, who shot to fame with his performance in ‘

Rang De Basanti

’ back in 2006, was last seen in ‘Noblemen’ (2019). In a recent interview with Bombay Times, the actor spoke about the pandemic-induced lockdown. He said, “This is a very difficult and unusual time. I see a lot of people who are trying to do too much and stay happy and push themselves to learn and do as many things as possible. I don’t think you should be doing that. I think at a point like this, you should be kind to yourself, you should be accepting of the fact that these are unusual times.”
