Tollywood actor Manchu Vishnu recently shared his thoughts on the topic of nepotism in the film industry, acknowledging that while it may help one enter the industry, talent is the true determinant of success. Vishnu’s remarks shed light on how the film industry operates, especially for newcomers.
According to Vishnu, nepotism may provide an initial entry point, but it is only talent that can sustain a career. He stated that if one lacks the necessary skill and talent, staying in the industry becomes a challenge. “Our career depends on how we handle difficulties,” he said, emphasizing the importance of persistence and hard work. Vishnu reflected on his own career, mentioning that despite his debut film’s failure, the audience recognized his talent and eventually accepted him as a hero, which helped him carve a place for himself in the industry.
Vishnu’s perspective is a reminder that while connections can help open doors, it’s ultimately an individual’s talent and perseverance that ensures longevity in the film industry. He firmly believes that the audience’s support is critical, and this support is earned through hard work and continuous growth.
Currently, Vishnu is producing the movie Kannappa under his banner. The film, which features a star-studded cast including Vishnu, his father Mohan Babu, and Rebel Star Prabhas, is set to release in April this year. The high-budget movie is expected to be a major hit in Tollywood.
