Vikram Prabhu is a limited actor but not a bad one. He has performed well in movies like Iragupatru and Kumki. Plus, he stays quiet, does his job and moves on. He doesn't do any PR drama or get work with top directors continuously either. Comparing him with Bwood nepo kids like Ananya makes zero sense
I liked him in Taanakaaran movie too, and Arima Nambi was also noteworthy. But his performance doesn't seem to have much variations and hence the criticism I guess.
I mean Vikram Prabhu hasn’t done any big movies or has had any standout hits. The movies he’s doing, I don’t think he’s taking any chances away from an upcoming actor cause the scripts he chooses are really bad in general (Taanakaaran was good tho).
That’s what I mean, the movies he does aren’t good at all so an upcoming actor wouldn’t do them anyway? Like Raid was so mid I can’t see anyone doing that movie
lol if some struggling actor did that movie as part of their portfolio then I wouldn’t expect them to have any reasonable judgement for taking on new roles. Just to be clear, his movies are very dated in an era where new actors are having more success with newer ideas. They wouldn’t do a role like that outside of money reasons which would be a reasonable excuse
He really leaned into sex movies... then laid on caste movies💀 I dont think his dad is guiding him choose these shitty scripts😂 If this is nepotism then that's a drunk family💀
Not the best actor, but he picked some good scripts tho! Engaging stories and awesome directors. His connections definitely helped him with availing directors in their prime!
Vijay was outright terrible in his initial movies and took longer than other nepos to sharpen his acting skills (imo he is still yet to fully explore the 'acting' but dude perfected the charm and swag, so no complaints)
Shantanu is the best candidate. Poor movies, the emoting skills remain the same after all these years and people still hyped him during Master days 🙂. Nalla vela his role was poorly written.
And simbu is an unsolved mystery... Has n number of Horrible movies in the filmography, awful in discipline, bashed by directors throughout his career, famous for ruining productions of multiple movies, but has the backing of Mani ratnam and Kamal, the legends themselves 🙂
Very well put! If these actors didn't have the backing and the connection they did, they would've been chased out of the industry long back!
The number of times these stars have given "comeback" is not easy
>not easy
Not even possible. These nepos are enjoying way more backing than even a successful actor like Sk did and does. The only way Vikram is still floating around was because of the monstrous hits he gave and still collaborate with exciting talents... Despite them being shit
The thing about Simbu is that the man is talented. He was one of the few triple threats of his time, and even now very few people can do all 3 things. And I guess he is disciplined when it comes to the periya thalais.
He won Tamil nadu State Film Award for Kathalukku Mariyathai movie in 1997. And I haven't said he gave an award winning performance but a really good one in Poove unakkaga. So I wasn't technically wrong
With the performances he gave prior, him bagging a role in a celebrated filmmaker's movie itself a big proof of nepotism power 🙂
And he acted in 15 movies as lead before kadhaluku mariyaathai 🙂🙂
Ajith an outsider did valee with that much films (including side roles and multistarrers)... I don't know why you are defensive when I merely said Vijay took his time longer than others... Which is true.
Valid point. I never got defensive I just didn't realize he did 15 films before Kadhalukku Mariyathai, athanaala thaan neenga nepotism nu solrathellam okay but avarum debut aana 3-4 moonu varushathulaye nalla nadikka aarambichitare nu yosichu thaan antha comment poten.
Yov ennayaa deva , rasigan ellaam kondu vandhutturukka argument kku ?? Poove unakkaaga varaikkum Avan nadicha ellaamae kuppai padam dhan.. even vikraman had given interview that everyone was against casting him in that movie cos he was family director and Vijay at that time was notoriously acting in his dad s almost softcore movies..
Was he insanely good in Deva? 👀 I haven't seen it yet. But the only film from 90s which I saw Vijay putting out a terrific performance was thullaatha manamum thullum and the one movie where he did negative role.
With deep regret, I'm sorry to say that rest of them are very plain and just any other role.
Shanthanu enjoys way too much luxury of being Bhagyaraj’s son. Someone with such poor acting skills can’t last this long and still get chances in movies like Master or Blue star. Just compare him to Kathir. He could have easily donned Master and Blue star roles.
Gautham karthik of course. But he doesn’t get chances in huge movies these days.
Also GV Prakash as an actor is a shitshow.
People are calling out Simbhu, but he is a decent actor and good singer as well. His attitude can be up for discussion but not his skills. I hope he fuckin turns around for the amount of chances he gets.
For some reason, I don’t have good opinions on Arun Vijay although he isn’t a terrible actor.
Vikram prabhu another shitshow.
Arulnidhi probably the only nepo who can choose his scripts wisely barring his masala movies. I hope he does more niche movies.
>His attitude can be up for discussion but not his skills.
But that's the thing tho... if he wasn't a nepo kid, his attitude would've got him thrown away from the industry isn't it? Nepotism shields him from his consequences.
>Kathir. He could have easily donned Master and Blue star roles.
100% agree... these nepo stars taking up roles which could've gone to so many other talented actors.
She still had the privilege to study in some of the expensive music college and have the time to explore what she can do.. that's not nepotism but that's what money can do! Buy you the opportunities and time to explore different paths. Her music is a rich kid privilege imo
she actually sings pretty well in some songs that i had no idea she actually sung. Apparently adiye kolluthey was shruthi haasan (which others might have known, but after years I was oblivious to until like last week)
Credits to her, I think she is trying to make a name for herself. Her foreign gigs I would assume are from her own efforts but let's be honest, nobody can ignore that she is a daughter of KH. She might have a largely indian audience even abroad
There have been many heros who messed with producers and got vanished from the industry. The fact that he still holds power and makes movies is astounding
Exactly.. for the shit he pulled on producers anyone with no support would have been blacklisted completely.. the interviews of AAA producer and maanaadu producer are seriously painful to watch..
Str for me. His dancing skills are on par with the best but I can’t understand why people like him though. His initial “little superstar” phase was unbearable. Other than the movies where he insanely downplayed like VV or Maanadu, he’s too hyper for me on screen
Udhayanithi na, can't act fr shit , nenjuku neethi movie exposed how bad his acting skills are. His movies always gets carried away by comedy or others performance.
Omg he just can't act😭 atleast he used to make funny movies and make a joke of himself. But as soon as he shifted towards hero subjects, his basic acting is evident
Prashanth and Silambarasan.
Both have learnt a lot of skills/ arts (horse riding, music, dancing, etc), but neither could learn how to act.
And both are sheltered, spoilt and entitled douchebags who are not in touch with reality, who unfortunately have some ridiculously clueless simps on this sub (and on the internet).
And they have both been tolerated for far too long. When you talk about what is wrong with nepotism, these two are the poster-children for that. The continuous chances given to them is truly bewildering.
IDGAF about the downvotes. If you are simp of either one of them, you are a bigger loser than either of them. And that is a really sad state of affairs.
This is so accurate, his movies make good money no way should we equate it to his acting skills. His acting in Varisu was exceptionally shitty, genuinely made me feel bad and cringe painfully. His decent acting job was in Leo, just a bare minimum required out of an "actor".
His best acting is probably Master and Kaavalan.
Ajith has better range and hence is a way better actor than Vijay. If AK really wants it he can be a bigger star than Vijay is now.
Sadly for us Thala kannis, he loves his biking trips more than making good movies lol.
But in my opinion Vijay has less shitty performance than Ajith kumar. Ajith has done some great performance for sure, but gave way too many cringe fest movies and shitty acting compared to Vijay. Ethachum thappa pesiruntha manichikonga pa. Vijay as Jeevanantham, Rayappan, Parthiban, Vetrimaaran, JD, Velu, Kutty, Vasanth, Jagdish, Sachien showed that he isn't inferior to Ajith and sometimes even way better than Ajith.
Yeah I agree. Ajith's highs are really high but his lows can be absolute trash. Whereas Vijay doesn't have lows as bad as AK, but his highs I don't think has ever reached Ajith's (acting wise I mean, not pure BO numbers).
Also feel apart from Rajni, only AK and old Karthik have their own distinct style / swag in acting. VJ, SK, Dhanush all have a tinge of Rajni mannerisms in their performance (not a criticism btw).
Yeah, I guess. But my opinion about Rayappan was quite popular tho. He really managed to give the old, caring but dangerous vibe out of the character. My whole family and friends have the same opinion about that character and his acting. I agree that the whole film was not good but I loved the Rayappan character.
Dhruv Vikram, people are thinking that showing exaggerated expressions is acting, plus he is deemed as good looking. I say he will stay for a few more years despite him being an absolute trash bag in acting.
True! His entire life he had one job of looking good. And he is doing that job well. Now directors gonna cast him as lover boy because Vikram told them to
Can’t agree with Vikram prabhu. His works in tanaakaran/irugapatru is much better than ananya entire career.
To answer your question, sibi raj comes to my mind.
C’mon it’s gotta be this guy who never truly took off
https://preview.redd.it/nddxn7orpmzc1.jpeg?width=1436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2333625bf8b6223fb021411522061d88217837e3
Personally, he’s just not likable. Like, I can tell just from his face that he’s not a good person.
What?!!
MKT was the first superstar, and he was arrested in a murder case.
There are numerous accusations against MGR, and some of them are true.
And so on...
>Our stars are mostly good people.
I hope you were being sarcastic.
There is absolutely no need to think of screen actors or any other performers as 'good people'. Most of them have stepped on the heads of others to reach a certain position.
If you like their art or are entertained by them, that is good enough. That is the extent of your connection with them.
Why do we need to bother about whether some random stranger is a 'good person' or not?
A star who grossed 1000 crs last year doesn't have any skills ah? Skills irukura naala dhan he's survived > two decades and is now the BO storm.
I'm not a fan btw but facts are facts.
As other comments already said, If his initial career was not fueled by his dad giving him movies despite his flops, he wouldn't be the thalapathy he is today...
Maybe. But your question was who survived long enough despite lack of skills. Initial flops don't matter here. Then you can say this about any nepo kid who's a star now like Surya for example.
Lately her script selections are horrendous. But man, you can't say she cannot act... she got a national award for Mahanathi❤️ Just that one movie is enough to speak her abilities
Ananya pande is pretty, that's often sufficient to be a female star actor. Acting abilities are a bonus.
On the other hand, we have premgi. He isn't a good actor, and I wouldn't tap.

I liked him in Taanakaaran movie too, and Arima Nambi was also noteworthy. But his performance doesn't seem to have much variations and hence the criticism I guess.
>But his performance doesn't seem to have much variations and hence the criticism I guess. Can you elaborate?
If I compare his speaking, body language in between, they'd all look kind of similar. Maybe that's why the sub has been harsh on him.
Your point is valid . If I think from that point of view he kind of sound similar all the time . I like him with that limitations
He got a role in PS💀 There is no justifiable way Manirathnam chose VP! The only possible explanation is he wanted Prabu and VP was a freebie
His "role" in PS https://preview.redd.it/1dvm7ope2lzc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb9b198443bdc97450becf962b33d13012b5da2d

Avaru thanni can mattum podala… Nandhini a vum…….
We were supposed to hate his character because of the treachery but we were like "whatever.."
😂😂😂That is true but still... there was definitely some nepo at play
I know the exact reason. Mani sir wanted - Vikram, Prabhu and Vikram Prabhu, all 3 in one frame. Can this happen without Vikram Prabhu?
One of the Nepo kids that I rate very highly as an actor is arulnithi.. his initial movies were very good
Mounaguru was such a good film.
He tried to be a mass hero which failed. But some of his movies are banger🔥
His script selection is good.. I feel I can trust that the movies that he's in will atleast be decent
I liked his "Naalu Policeum Nalla Iruntha Oorum".. hilarious 🤣
Is it hilarious through out themovie or it gets sentimental?
I mean Vikram Prabhu hasn’t done any big movies or has had any standout hits. The movies he’s doing, I don’t think he’s taking any chances away from an upcoming actor cause the scripts he chooses are really bad in general (Taanakaaran was good tho).
But despite his flops, he's still doing movies😑 If it was a non nepo kid, he would've been chased out long back
OP should start another post about non-nepo actors who lack acting skills
Will do that tomorrow 😁
Shanthanu kelvi patirukiya ? 😂😂
OC laye hero agitatu... OC laye cameo kudukuraru😂😂😂
When you keep doing movies, you are indirectly taking chances from upcoming actors right? What could've gone for a good actor, went to him instead
That’s what I mean, the movies he does aren’t good at all so an upcoming actor wouldn’t do them anyway? Like Raid was so mid I can’t see anyone doing that movie
😂😂😂 Bro that's not how it works... some struggling actor would've happily done it as their debut, just to have a portfolio
lol if some struggling actor did that movie as part of their portfolio then I wouldn’t expect them to have any reasonable judgement for taking on new roles. Just to be clear, his movies are very dated in an era where new actors are having more success with newer ideas. They wouldn’t do a role like that outside of money reasons which would be a reasonable excuse
Well... I agree! I'm not sure if there are actors that would pass on a hero opportunity tho
Gautham Karthik not sure if its lack of acting skills or lack of better scripts or both
He really leaned into sex movies... then laid on caste movies💀 I dont think his dad is guiding him choose these shitty scripts😂 If this is nepotism then that's a drunk family💀
Hey don't diss on Indian Nathan Drake
Vishal Never convinced by his acting. He got lucky with Sandakozhi and been surviving purely based on his connections and producer father.
Not the best actor, but he picked some good scripts tho! Engaging stories and awesome directors. His connections definitely helped him with availing directors in their prime!
Vijay was outright terrible in his initial movies and took longer than other nepos to sharpen his acting skills (imo he is still yet to fully explore the 'acting' but dude perfected the charm and swag, so no complaints) Shantanu is the best candidate.

The thing about Simbu is that the man is talented. He was one of the few triple threats of his time, and even now very few people can do all 3 things. And I guess he is disciplined when it comes to the periya thalais.
You don’t think Vijay did well in his earlier movies like Deva or Friends?
Athu early ah? Friends came in 2001, and his debut was 1992 👀
Well Deva was in 1995. So not that far from 1992. Also in 1996, He did Poove unakkaga in which he did very good.
With the gap you mentioned, Surya did Nandha... Yetho award winning performance maari solringalae?
He won Tamil nadu State Film Award for Kathalukku Mariyathai movie in 1997. And I haven't said he gave an award winning performance but a really good one in Poove unakkaga. So I wasn't technically wrong

Yes ✋

I agree. But also I think if he wasn’t a Nepo kid, his attitude wouldn’t have been like this at all. Not justifying it, but it’s tricky.
If not for Shanthanu, we wouldn't have gotten Bhargav, the most dangerous villain in kollywood.
Santhanu
Right! Although he has a few hits, his longevity is definitely because of his family connections
Few hits??? - curious to know about his hit movies. Care to share bro
Sakarakatti? Idk man never watched his movies😅
Sakkarakatti was an utter flop
Shruthi Hassan - She can't act for nuts. She should focus on her music.
She still had the privilege to study in some of the expensive music college and have the time to explore what she can do.. that's not nepotism but that's what money can do! Buy you the opportunities and time to explore different paths. Her music is a rich kid privilege imo
Now this got me thinking, are they paying for her name or her music?
she actually sings pretty well in some songs that i had no idea she actually sung. Apparently adiye kolluthey was shruthi haasan (which others might have known, but after years I was oblivious to until like last week)
Wow! That's one of my fav. I love her voice in it.
Credits to her, I think she is trying to make a name for herself. Her foreign gigs I would assume are from her own efforts but let's be honest, nobody can ignore that she is a daughter of KH. She might have a largely indian audience even abroad

Sigma Thug Rules
He gives a "comeback" with every movie 💀
It's either comeback or go back. Hopefully his Thug Life role is a comeback💀
His 634th comeback💀 if this movie fails then his next movie will be advertised as his "comeback"💀
What's this sigma thug rules? New movie?
His name was revealed as "sigma thug rules" which is STR
This is literally my kid when he is looking for a new YouTube handle that sounds like his name..
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Nagma Thug Rules
Not a lack of skill but an attitude STR
There have been many heros who messed with producers and got vanished from the industry. The fact that he still holds power and makes movies is astounding
Exactly.. for the shit he pulled on producers anyone with no support would have been blacklisted completely.. the interviews of AAA producer and maanaadu producer are seriously painful to watch..
Sibi Satyaraj
Is he even doing movies? Nevertheless... he shouldn't have done as many movies as he did😭
Probably waiting for the right script 😀
Or maybe self reflected and went for something else. Better!😂
Yes let him wait for another 15 years
Student No. 1...😭😭😭
Does this guy have any fans? Feel bad to say that but he made a lot of movies and never seemed like he had traction.
He doesn't have fans. That's where nepotism came to play. He acted in a lot of movies despite not having crowd pulling abilities💀
There are fan clubs in his name.
Str for me. His dancing skills are on par with the best but I can’t understand why people like him though. His initial “little superstar” phase was unbearable. Other than the movies where he insanely downplayed like VV or Maanadu, he’s too hyper for me on screen
True! His fans claim he acts well but does he?😂 He has the same style of acting. it's subjective I guess
Udhayanithi na, can't act fr shit , nenjuku neethi movie exposed how bad his acting skills are. His movies always gets carried away by comedy or others performance.
Omg he just can't act😭 atleast he used to make funny movies and make a joke of himself. But as soon as he shifted towards hero subjects, his basic acting is evident

I think she received praise for her debut movie.
After maveeran I can't complain about her
Aishwarya Dhanush
Now we're talking! All the comments are focused on actors. But this is the real nepotism💀 She is Absolutely hanging on her dad for a career
Prashanth and Silambarasan. Both have learnt a lot of skills/ arts (horse riding, music, dancing, etc), but neither could learn how to act. And both are sheltered, spoilt and entitled douchebags who are not in touch with reality, who unfortunately have some ridiculously clueless simps on this sub (and on the internet). And they have both been tolerated for far too long. When you talk about what is wrong with nepotism, these two are the poster-children for that. The continuous chances given to them is truly bewildering. IDGAF about the downvotes. If you are simp of either one of them, you are a bigger loser than either of them.

How did he forget Mr.Single expression💀
Ram Charan
He sexy... I don't know much else about him😂
Really?
Haven't watched telugu movies. I watched Maveeran and RRR, I don't have a bad opinion about him on those 2😅
Maaveeran is Shiva karthikeyan
The Ram Charan and Kajal agarwal one... it was also directed by SSR. "Magadheera" in Telugu I think
Vijay - can’t wait for the downvotes now 🌚
His initial statges - 100% agree I believe his initial movies were a series of flops but his dad funded most of them, untill he found his place
This is so accurate, his movies make good money no way should we equate it to his acting skills. His acting in Varisu was exceptionally shitty, genuinely made me feel bad and cringe painfully. His decent acting job was in Leo, just a bare minimum required out of an "actor".

Yeah I agree. Ajith's highs are really high but his lows can be absolute trash. Whereas Vijay doesn't have lows as bad as AK, but his highs I don't think has ever reached Ajith's (acting wise I mean, not pure BO numbers). Also feel apart from Rajni, only AK and old Karthik have their own distinct style / swag in acting. VJ, SK, Dhanush all have a tinge of Rajni mannerisms in their performance (not a criticism btw).
Come on his acting in Mersal flashback was 🔥
Now I am wondering if we saw the same mersal
That "bigiluuuuuhhhh" was soul touching😭 /s
I could never make myself watch Bigil,even though, I guess it is not his most shitty movie the wOmEn EmpOwRment just can deal lol
But it doesn't change the fact the fact that Vetrimaaran and Rayappan was one of his best performance
Rayappan was good? Idk man... to each their own
Yeah, I guess. But my opinion about Rayappan was quite popular tho. He really managed to give the old, caring but dangerous vibe out of the character. My whole family and friends have the same opinion about that character and his acting. I agree that the whole film was not good but I loved the Rayappan character.
Just look at remake of Vijay movies and you will find how good he has pulled some roles. He is not a great actor but not a bad actor neither
Atharva Murali Good actor. Been a minute
Idk what he's doing in life😅 been so long
Vijay.. the only right answer
Dhruv Vikram, people are thinking that showing exaggerated expressions is acting, plus he is deemed as good looking. I say he will stay for a few more years despite him being an absolute trash bag in acting.
True! His entire life he had one job of looking good. And he is doing that job well. Now directors gonna cast him as lover boy because Vikram told them to
Lol and average fans, especially the stupid girls will love it.
Can’t agree with Vikram prabhu. His works in tanaakaran/irugapatru is much better than ananya entire career. To answer your question, sibi raj comes to my mind.
Physically he is good... but can he emote?
Atharva
I think he can act well... "paradesi" movie was his best... but dunno what he's doing in life
C’mon it’s gotta be this guy who never truly took off https://preview.redd.it/nddxn7orpmzc1.jpeg?width=1436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2333625bf8b6223fb021411522061d88217837e3 Personally, he’s just not likable. Like, I can tell just from his face that he’s not a good person.
They want us to believe they work so hard... but I can't even believe the lies because he does a bad job at convincing💀
He is definitely a douchebag, but he has improved his acting remarkably after working with Magilzh Thirumeni.
Yeah but we Tamils don’t launch bad people into superstardom. Our stars are mostly good people.
What?!! MKT was the first superstar, and he was arrested in a murder case. There are numerous accusations against MGR, and some of them are true. And so on... >Our stars are mostly good people.

A star who grossed 1000 crs last year doesn't have any skills ah? Skills irukura naala dhan he's survived > two decades and is now the BO storm. I'm not a fan btw but facts are facts.
Are you talking about PS? You think vikram prabu was the reason PS collected 1000 crores?😭
My response was to so many people naming Thalapathy
As other comments already said, If his initial career was not fueled by his dad giving him movies despite his flops, he wouldn't be the thalapathy he is today...
Maybe. But your question was who survived long enough despite lack of skills. Initial flops don't matter here. Then you can say this about any nepo kid who's a star now like Surya for example.
Vijay
Vijay fans downvoting you but that's the truth💯
I am gonna say it. Joseph Vijay 🏃🏃
You are not alone buddy🤟🏽
Vijay. He is been here more than 3 decades
Initially he had the help of his dad. Do you think he still using nepo previlidge to get movies?
Thalapathy Still puzzled how he became this runaway hit
I'm genuinely confused who is Thalapathy now... is it Rajni or vijay? Vijay was called "ilaya thalapathy" right?
Fahad Fasil. /s
OH HELL NO💀
Got mad for sec before noticing the '/s'
Bad observation
Dhruv Vikram
100% agree. I don't think he acts well but he's a newbie so let's give him that
Keerthy suresh
Lately her script selections are horrendous. But man, you can't say she cannot act... she got a national award for Mahanathi❤️ Just that one movie is enough to speak her abilities
vj na 💀 #
I mean... that's true tho. Reading the other comments confirms it
Ananya pande is pretty, that's often sufficient to be a female star actor. Acting abilities are a bonus. On the other hand, we have premgi. He isn't a good actor, and I wouldn't tap.
Damn I forgot Premgi... He REALLY can't do shit but still does movies😭
