Movie buffs are hyped about the possibility of Akira Nandan, son of Pawan Kalyan, making a cameo appearance in OG. The film, starring Pawan Kalyan as the gangster Ojas Gambheera, has been building massive buzz ahead of its anticipated release, and Akira's rumored involvement (potentially as a younger version of his father's character or in a post-credits tease for a sequel) has amplified excitement among fans.
Audiences are entitled to what excites them. But all the hype and hoopla around Akira's onscreen debut exposes the simple truth that nepotism is a reality of life in Indian society. When lakhs are excited to watch a youngster they have barely heard utter a single line so far, when lakhs are writing social media posts anticipating the debut of someone whose acting skills they have no idea about, it only means one thing: whose son an actor is matters most to us. Just like whose son a politician is matters a great deal to us.
If Akira is indeed there in OG even for a few seconds, Pawan Kalyan's fans will change their Display Pictures to the youngster. Six months later, when the issue of nepotism is debated for the nth time, they will say, "Talent alone matters".
After this, if someone from Tollywood argues that nepotism doesn't exist, it only means they are lying. Nepotism is an absolute reality, and audiences themselves find it entirely valid.
