Pinne annu ippo ulla pole koodi illa. The final word for Malayalam industry was big M's even if other actors gave industry hits. Else after Ram Ji Rao, Harihar Nagar and Godfather Mukesh would have become the next superstar. His films very rarely flopped in B.O.

Athu thettanu. Its not our fault. Nammal nallathu sweekarikkum mosham aayathu thiraskarikkum. Premam hit aayappol NP was labelled the next superstar. Same when Tovi and Antony varghese came.
But what I have noticed is filmmakers give plum opportunities to those actors who come from star families. Why did Vineeth Sreenivasan go for Pranav in Hridayam after NP delivered many box office hits?
Why did Alphonse Puthren cast PR in his next directorial?
Why are all top directors behind DQ and Fahad??? Ithokke alochikenda karyam aanu.
It is the filmmakers fault.
Nepotism exists everywhere but only recently has it crept into Mollywood though not in a big way

But can Vineeth cast Nivin as a college kid in his current state? Prithvi was overweight at one point, he then turned lean and looks much fitter. The onus is on the actor to keep up his appearance, nothing to do with Nepotism.
A movie has dozens of actors, not all the roles are being portrayed by star kids. Plus I agree if they release movies every month. DQ /Fahad release max 1-2 movies each year, even IF that! In Malayalam currently the busiest actors are Tovino and Asif Ali who have far more releases than DQ or Fahad. Plus some of the most popular young stars like Mathew, Nasleen etc.. are also from non fims families.Quote:

If Nepotism guaranteed success in the Malayalam industry people like Gokul Suresh, Shravan Mukesh, Shaheen Siddique, Kalidas Jayram etc... must be big stars by now. On the other hand Arjun Asokan put in a lot of hard work to reach the status he has today. Nepotism is not a guarantee in Malayalam cinema.
This makes sense

Both Fahad and Prithvi made it as stars due to their own accord, not because their fathers are huge stars.
The only truly successful superstar son is perhaps DQ, but how many movies does he do in a year? Its not like DQ is stealing everyone's opportunities! Dulquer barely has one release every year, on the other hand Asif Ali, Tovino etc have many more opportunities and releases. Pranav is not really interested. The Big Ms sons are not stealing anyone's opportunities like Hindi or Telugu.
I do not think Malayalm cinema is dictated by Nepotism. Yes children from film families might get debut opportunities easier, but success is never guaranteed based on their surname!
