"Many people have a problem with your father, and they will never give you films," Adhyayan Suman said
Actor Adhyayan Suman has opened up about the way the industry treated him. This comes weeks after his father, actor Shekhar Suman, in a series of tweets, had said that “the cabal” within Bollywood will “oppress, suppress and persecute you till you are finished.” Shekhar Suman had also said that some members of Bollywood have “ganged up” against him and his son (more on that later). He opened up after Priyanka Chopra, in an interaction with American actor-filmmaker Dax Shepard on the podcast Armchair Expert, said that she shifted to a career in Bollywood because she had “beef with people” in Bollywood. Now, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Adhyayan revealed that he “did not get a lot of films because of a show that my father did — Movers and Shakers.” FYI” Movers and Shakers was a hit talk show in the 90s. It will happen to others too.That's the way the cookie crumbles in the industry.Take it or leave it.and Priyanka decided to leave.and thank God she did.for now we have a true-blue global icon representing India in https://t.co/cleRR7DGsL they say every cloud has a silver lining. I know of atleast 4ppl in the industry who have ganged up to have me n adhyayan removed from many projects.i know it for sure.These 'gangsters' have a lot of clout and they are more dangerous than a rattle snake.But the truth is they can create hurdles but they cannot stop us. Luckily Sanjay Leela Bhansali saw potential in him and cast him in not one but two v imp.roles in his nagnum opus Heera Mandi.
Adhyayan Suman said, “I did not get a lot of films because of a show that my father did — Movers and Shakers. Though he was given a script for every episode, there were a few people who got offended because of what he said and held grudges that ‘Shekhar ne humaare baare mein kaise baat kari. There was neither any personal attacks nor he used any abusive language. He just did his job and it was just a show. But their egos were very fragile perhaps, and they took it personally. And thought ki iska badla iske bete par nikaalenge.”
Adhyayan Suman also added that a lot of people didn't give him work because they had a problem with Shekhar Suman. He said, “Many people have a problem with your father, and they will never give you films.”
Adhyayan Suman also spoke about a recent incident when he was dropped from a project days before the contract signing. He said, “I was approached for a project with a massive superstar as the lead and I was supposed to play the antagonist. Everything, including money, was discussed and I was expecting a call to discuss clauses for my contract. But suddenly, they backed off. I asked them what the problem was or what changed because it's very easy to call anyone and remove me from a project.”
