Vinayan is a director who has introduced many newcomers to his films. Vinayan’s response to an audience’s critical question regarding nepotism in the film industry is gaining attention on social media. An audience member came up with the question following Vinayan’s Facebook post sharing the new character poster of his new movie ‘Nineteenth Century’. The question was ..
“All the people who act in a movie are the sister of an old actress or the brother of an old actor. They are members of the movie family. No, I respectfully ask director Vinayan, “What are the criteria for acting in a film? Talent, money, beauty, education …?”
Vinayan replied, “If you were the standard, I would not have made Kalabhavan Mani, Jayasurya, Manikuttan and Senthil heroes.” Vinayan’s response has already received over 400 likes. Meanwhile, Vinayan’s new film is set in 19th century Travancore. The film stars Siju Wilson in the lead role.
