A blind item from The Opinionated Indian caught my attention the other day because it was about a Bollywood star. You know the kind I mean – the one who plays action heroes and who has built his image around being a refined gentleman. Well, this blind item paints a different picture, and mentions some pretty juicy allegations. Allegedly he’s the one who was instrumental in ensuring the role of a newbie in an action sequel was minimized, and also alludes to some things going on in his private life, but of course none of it can be verified.
Blind Item
This married actor has a squeaky clean image. He is not an A-lister but is hugely popular for his action movies & intense on-screen image. As per a source, this actor who comes across as a gentleman is just as sleazy as the rest. A new face was to be launched opposite him in the sequel to his action franchise. He asked the actress for sexual favors & she refused. Her role was reduced to an extended cameo. If he had his way then she would have been sacked from the movie. But they didn’t sack her fearing a backlash on social media if the news ever got out.
The accusations also opened conversations on the imbalances of power that are common on film sets when established performers and newcomers work together in Hollywood. It can be easy to see how one big performer can have an influence on a film’s production, and therefore influence what projects are done, what parts are given, and who is cast. So, reduced parts on projects attract attention. However, it wouldn’t be right to come to a conclusion about what actually caused the change to the new performer’s part without corroboration from either of the people concerned, and without credible reports on what happened.
The actor stays private and focuses on his profession, rather than his private life. His lifestyle, which involves a disciplined exercise routine, playing action roles, and a discerning choice in roles, has distinguished him from other actors in Bollywood. Unlike his carefully managed persona, anonymous columns containing gossip often reveal a more complicated picture about him, and this disparity creates interest for readers. In any case, it is important for the public to discern what is real and what is just plain tabloid hearsay.
