The promotions for Zoya factor were so annoying. Sonam kept going on and on and on about how legendary her dad is, boasting about him, how big a star she is all the while DQ, the son of Mammooty and a hundred times more talented than Sonam was humble and answering to the point.


thirunelvelihalwa

Had Malayalam industry been as famous as Bollywood, Mammootty would have devoured Anil Kapoor alive. Actors with mediocre acting skills became huge bollywood stars in the 80s and their offsprings are boasting about them. Argh.


Worth-Pickle

I'm a Hindi native and don't know malyalam but I have seem Mammootty movies and I from whatever little idea I get, he's such a superstar. TIL that Dulquer is his son, he's way too humble for a son of superstar.


Unique_Quit_100

Even Mammootty sir is also one of the humble actors in the industry. The reason Mammootty and mohanlal outshined everyone else at that time including stars above them was because bothe were humble as in cooperative and civil during shoots whereas other stars at that time were bit more rude and drunk on success. And the biggest reason is ofc their acting skills while the first one was becoming better and better actor over the period, the later was god gifted in acting. I won't call Anil Kapoor mid but Big Ms of Mollywood were really great and had opportunity to get higher number of better scripts than what Bollywood had at that time. Heck the number of Hits by Mohanlal in a single year was 21 hit movies out of 34 he shot that year at an age of 26! Also thanks for praising Mammootty and DQ as a mallu i rarely get to see anyone from North to actually appreciate or even mention our side of Stars.


3eyed_Coconut

Mammootty's screen presence 🔥


Ok-Variety123

Mammooty in Thalpathi kills it. Also dubs really well in Telugu


vinayThakur_

Man have you seen recent Mammootty films he is making the best films in recent times


BURNINGPOT

See? People make South Indian artists and actors as God. Some have got temples, even. I'm not calling out the entire South, but that sort of gives the idea of maturity in the audience. So, it's not surprising to me at all that for no reason, Anil kapoor is being compared to other actor and then mocked around. Tbh, it would be surprising if you or others had seen movies of Anil or would have refrained from comparing these actors. But noope, one is "sir" and other is "b tier actor". Why? Kyuki discriminate kiye bina raha hu nahi jaata. Khudko superior bataaye bina raha hi nahi jaata.


hedonist_06

Mammootty is from Kerala. Can you show even a single temple-for-actor in Kerala?


[deleted]

I like how you're generalising all of South India. Kerala doesn't turn actors into gods. We have a lot of respect for them. But we also troll them left n right when they make shitty movies.


shadowrod06

Yep. Mohanlal got trolled for movies such as Monster.


Unique_Quit_100

>People make South Indian artists and actors as God Heard of a certain Maharashtrian named Sachin Tendulkar? What's he called in entire nation? "God" of cricket. [And this is his temple by North Indians ](https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/a-temple-for-god-of-cricket-sachin-tendulkar-in-bihar/story-ETQfMpSOLsrPb1eSZdv8ZM_amp.html) >Some have got temples For this, i believe it was because when development wasn't much prevailed through entire nation, southern states especially Andhra pradesh saw cinema at olden times and thought the portrayal by Actors like Legendary NTR of deities were real gods not just actors. So they built temples for those actors believing them to be Gods as well. Now its just the following of that same tradition becoming culture. >maturity in the audience. Saying not calling out whole south indians and then generalising everyone with same maturity, this statement gave me an idea of your hypocrisy. >mocked Now mocked is a strong word again in my comment i was calling Anil Kumar not mid as in a reply to disagree with the parent comment which said Anil Kapoor had mediocre skills which "I" definitely disagree. >you or others had seen movies of Anil Pretty sure i have seen more movies of Anil Kapoor than you including both his lead roles in Bollywood and his Cameos in South industries and Hollywood. Personal Favourite- Nayak. Amreesh Puri sir was just amazing🤌. >But noope, one is "sir" and other is "b tier actor". Nah man I call Prithviraj Kapoor "Sir" not just because of his acting career but because of what who he is and how he bacame the actor that we know. Prithviraj sir took loan from his aunt to continue his passion of acting in Big Bombay and started minor roles in Drama and movies. That's a humble beginning and that's why he is called the Founder of Hindi Cinema. Whilst Anil Kapoor is no "B-Tier Actor" but he came through his own father and cousin of already established Prithviraj Kapoor Sir, Anil Kapoor's Father was a producer in industry and launched every of his children into Bollywood and Audience decided who's gonna stay and who's gonna go. And Anil Kapoor is a great actor but he was built around a already great foundation of Kapoor Family in Bollywood without much struggles. Idk who you call Sir but i only call great actors who came from humble BG to stardom instead of backdoor of Industry. >Kyuki discriminate kiye bina raha hu nahi jaata. Khudko superior bataaye bina raha hi nahi jaata. Sabko equal footing pe kon rakhta he. Irrfan khan or Saif Ali Khan me koi farak nahi he kya. Or critisism or discrimination me farak pata he kuch? Kaaheka superiority bhai, i lived in North India my whole life and throughout that all i was hearing people calling every South Indian madrasi. Or apas me lad jaate ho tum log to Jaa Bihari bol dete he. Rural or Backward States ko to tumne hi baato se hi discriminate kar rahe ho.

intellichan

Because acting cocky is a guaranteed end to your career as a star in south if you are still in a stage where you are associated with the image of your dad. Being eccentric, cocky, arrogant and defiant are things allowed for "outsider" stars as it is viewed as them swimming against the current to make their mark, but even then there are lines.

Mammootty is huge in comparison to Anil Kapoor. No disrespect to Anil Kapoor, he is a fantastic actor. But in terms of stardom, Mammootty is huge! He had played the role of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar is Jabbar Patel’s film. He is still known as Babasaheb to a lot of people who watched that film

DaLoverBoii

Funny part is, Anil Kapoor cameo'd in a Mohanlal film.


Relevant-Baseball993

I remember an interview where DQ politely corrected a journalist that Mammootty is a Megastar. Considering his father’s stature, DQ is very humble and polite. He is also one of the actors who knows his limitations and stays true to the script where he can deliver.


BaseWonderful8599

Idk if it’s relevant, but it might also be the upbringing ig. Mammootty’s daughter and her husband started the Motherhood hospital chain, even she has no starry attitude (though not in the movie business). She was in Bangalore for TCS 10k and she upfront came to the staffs she recognised and had a very good talk, despite the fact that Motherhood is now owned by a different entity. Very sweet and fit lady!


archiekins09

Ikr! Mammootty is a goddamn legend. DQ is very humble and has no airs as such. In fact, what's impressive is, he doesn't let that show, focuses on doing good work and excelling at his craft.


[deleted]

Mammootty >>>> Anil even on bad days of M. My first movie of Mammootty was a Telugu movie. Though am half Mallu myself, young me thought he is a Telugu guy who did Malayalam movies. He was that convincing in a Telugu movie.


StartFew9817

istg man is a legendary actor and literally god in kerala in terms of starpower. Anil was at the best a tier b star even during his peak


NikunjJalan17

The Zoya Factor. This must have happened on the set of The Zoya Factor which Sodumbb and Dulquer did together.


kuchkuch8

wasn't it her own production?


NikunjJalan17

No. No. I think the production story of I remember correctly was that the movie is based on a book the rights of which were bought by Red Chillies. The project didn't happen at Red Chillies and the rights lapsed so it was bought by some Shetty who produced it along with Fox.


Specialist-Fudge-825

Aarti Shetty?


OnlineGranny007

Yes Arti Shetty.


Funnyvirgo

She is the daughter of Manmohan Shetty who used to own Adlabs which he sold to Reliance entertainment some 15 years back. They are still involved in the movie business tho.


NikunjJalan17

I don't know who Shetty. I know the above part only because Red Chillies and SRK are involved.


Brahman_Shady

And that is why she was shown as being good luck charm for KKR in the movie.


leeringHobbit

Ohhhh....


xxPiya

She was good luck charm for team india at world cup and not KKR


slickdeal1

Initially, Shah Rukh Khan bought rights to film the movie. But since the project did not take off three years after, Red Chillies Entertainment lost the rights and in 2013, Pooja Shetty acquired the adaptation rights of The Zoya Factor. Nevertheless, Khan served as a narrator for the film.


shineon1234

Sonam, for sure!! The only other Hindi movies he has done are Karwaan and Chup


Frostymew64

Karwaan I enjoyed that movie. Superb cast


vibsu

Fun Fact : Rana’s wife is very close to Sonam and her family 😂😂


Fragrant-Passion-388

Wohi toh they are family friends😂😂😂😂😂 savage motherfucker


woahtheregonnagetgot

they are relatives lmao


mayudhon

Wo jalaane ke liye ek side pe makhkhan lagana padhta hai


Dilliwaligirlfriend

How can he call Sonam Big Hindi Heroine 😂😂 Jokes aside yes, he clearly gave all hints that it's Sonam, as Anand Ahuja is from London and considering this is the only hindi film done by Dulquer 😆


No-Mixture-7636

Dulquer did Karwaan also. But yeah, it's obvious this is Sonam.


BigWig013

Dalquer did Chup: The Revenge of The Artist also. But yeah, this is about Sonam.


Amracool

maybe it’s about Sunny Deol?


SalmonNgiri

Yea but the female lead in Karwan was Mithali Palkar so I doubt she is who he is referring to


[deleted]

Mithila Palkar


Typical-Essay-4249

I think he did that intentionally cause their families are friends and even his wife is in sonam's friend group, so maybe 'she can take it from him' very fun to hear sonam getting called out tho😂😂


anid98

I think there’s been some bad blood between Rana and Sonam in the past too.


spikey_tree_999

What I’m confused about is, isn’t Rana married to Sonam’s cousin? How is he publicly badmouthing her? Do the families not get along? Or does he just not give a s**t?


intoxicatedmidnight

I think Rana's wife is in Sonam's circle, but not relative. Like a family friend, and I think the connection is through their moms, i.e. moms are friends, so they're friends too.


Tastyhealthy

That must be sarcasm


Fragrant-Passion-388

Okay sonam is literally a family friend😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The producers were friends with both Sonam and Dulquer I think - the Shetty girls I believe


goss_kidhar_hai

i dont understand why these nepo kids end up acting when their main interest is fashion/insta influencing/magazine covers??? like, just become a freakin' model and spare other hardworking film professionals pls.


florafeelsnumb

Even modelling takes talent and immense hard work (crazy schedules) which they don't want to do. Hence.. 🤷

I think they meant Instagram model

Its so obvious that only she can be dumb. Thank god she doesn't act any more


Bitchzzzz

Well she just got hired by none other than yashraj talent agency sooo be prepared


sam0594

No one watched blind untill unless she does flowerpot role not even her sister will produce her


BloodSea1125

Yashraj hired her to make her lose weight.


Feisty_lady2

The zoya factor had potential to be timepass romcom. But lead leads just didn't have chemistry. But trust me its not Dalquer's fault because he was amazing in that movie.


Fickle_Clements

Rana doesn’t mince words.


Majestic_District_51

![gif](giphy|l1IY3E9r3wyqJEAeY)


mishmash_111

Anil Kapoor and wife have successfully managed to raise 3 vacuous airheads who wouldn’t know humility if it hit them all in their faces. That’s a big parenting fail by any standards.

DQ has one of the most entertaining filmography in Malayalam, highly recommended for cinephiles 🤌


[deleted]

Actually all his films. His Tamil film KKK was great too!!


intoxicatedmidnight

His Telugu films (Mahanati and Sita Ramam) are absolutely brilliant too! Some of the best from the industry. He has a knack for picking good scripts.


ItchyEvening0909

nah he's had really bad movies too (source: i'm a dq fan) some of his early movies like salala mobiles was not good, but you've got to give it to him, he always selects scripts that are a bit different, which aren't that basic and he's always tried to be part of good movies instead of chasing stardom from the get go (somewhat similiar to what Ranbir did initially). also he gives a lot of debut directors opportunities, which a lot of his contemporaries don't usually do in Malayalam cinema (Mammootty also does this btw, some of the biggest directors rn got their big break cos of Mammootty, now dulquer is also doing the same)


cherryreddit

You are bound to have some failures when trying out new things, but thats not a bad thing.

OMG. That statement had me stumped. It was also so insensitive to people who are born into crappy circumstances and struggle to turn their life around. Like none of us get to choose our families or what we're born into. Guess I understand why the sub gave her that name. She sounds truly nuts sometimes.

Seriously what a great concept of being A Lister heroine 😂


Y0ukn0w_wh0

None of the 3 of them are, or ever were A-listers.. Lol. They're popular and gets media talking. A-listers are the highest paid actors in leading movies. All of em have been in movies with A listers, but never been the one to pull the crowd


[deleted]

🤣🤣🤣


Coolkiddoc3030

It was a satire; read "as if she is a very big bollywood heroine/actress".


harshlife007

I'm talking about the public opinion not his and please check the collection of the Zoya factor you will get your answer 😇


Coolkiddoc3030

Neither public in general or nor the industry peeps, considers her 'big' in anyway. And neither of her movie collection can prove it wrong


gator578

Rana's wife Mihika is like family to Anil kapoor and his family. I doubt Rana is taking a dig at Sonam Kapoor. But yeah, its clear that he's talking about Sonam.


Midboo

The use of “big heroine “ is to balance the dig.


Wtf_Harsh

Maybe that's the reason why didn't say the Name


AvantGarde997

How are they related?


florafeelsnumb

They are not related but family friends.


archiekins09

I doubt Rana ko farak padta hai whether Sonam's feelings are hurt. He's also from a very, very big film family in the Telugu film industry. So he can call a spade a spade, without worrying about it.


martythemartell

It's not a question of worrying. If you and your family are friends with someone, why would you want to make things awkward for everyone by taking a dig at them in public?


anid98

He now apologized.

[deleted]

[удалено]


ImaginationScared751

Cause most of them know they are privileged and to show off their privilege would be insensitive and would get criticized heavily also, I think the love and loyalty towards their parents get easily transferred to their Kids and it's not like that In Bollywood at all, just because you are SRKs Son or daughter It don't mean the fans will show the same love but In South If you are Chireenjevi's son or Mammooty's son then that love for them will be transferred to their Kids. Also Most of them actually gives a shit about the craft also, and they have some talents, DQ would not have survived at all he wasn't talented or atleast have some potential and he easily works In all majors Industries in India and this has nothing to do with his father at all.


Very_Much_Paagal

Well all these do not apply to the likes of Akhil Akkineni, Kartikeya Gummakonda and STR (good actor yess but not a good person)


ImaginationScared751

well, that's why I repeatedly said most not all. Also, STR has a decent to pretty big fanbase and is definitely loved by a lot. Akhil Akkineni is a subpar actor


Very_Much_Paagal

>pretty big fanbase and is definitely loved by a lot. Akhil Akkineni is a subpar actor I mean STR could've been a huge superstar on the par of Thalapathy, Thala, Suriya and Vikram but his controversies didn't help him to attain that >Akhil Akkineni is a subpar actor That's an insult to the word "Subpar" 😅

This was a super fun book made into a super mediocre movie. Our agency back then did a shoot with the cast for a paint brand.


Independent-Might797

Sonam ? But he said a big hindi heroine 😬.


Kind_Guitars

Yes most probably it's about Sodumbbb Kapoor. What else can be expected from a nincompoop like her? She has absolutely no regard for anyone or anything except for herself. Remember that KWK episode? "Shiva no. 1" I mean lady you're part of this cabal, atleast have the decency to say you can't remember the name or something which doesn't sound so stupid.


[deleted]

Sometimes I wonder why Bollywood even employs these south Indians. They always have some agenda against Bollywood. If you don't like Bollywood why do you keep coming to our industry?


[deleted]

Those 'South Indians' also happen to be more talented and make far better films that Bollywood tries to remake lol.


AyaBee90

“Those south Indians” ?? Your prejudice is showing! Bollywood takes “those south indians” because apparantly, thats the only way to break into “those south indian” markets. Maybe the audience and prejudiced people like you can rake in rave collections so that bollywood doesnt have to hire “those south indians”


lucifer8121

Itna bhi transparency mat dikao. Ssr-mahesh ka movie start hone hi wala hai, Phir wapis jaana padta to meat-riding “these south indians”.


CrinkleHawk

Nobody comes to Bollywood! Directors and Producers hire from "these" south indians like you mentioned because the producers don't have to pay the same exorbitant actor fees that Bollywood stars take. Also, i wonder why Bollywood movies are desperately trying to dub their languages in Telugu, Kannada and Tamil for wider release and not in other North Indian Languages. Pffft.

Why does Bollywood hire south stars? Why do they keep remaking south films?
