In my opinion, they should not listen to demands of fans and stick to their story line. But of course, they've decided to listen to fans and change the track. It's so unfortunate how ITV works. Actors have so much potential and somewhere down the line, they get dragged into murky waters because of fans and what they want to see. I hope to see a day when makers can just make what they have on their writing, release limited episodes and maintain everything without outside interference.
I hope both actors get better platforms where they can showcase their talent. Sai has A LOT of potential, RR is just the beginning.
This.
Not only pressure from fans, but from the channel as well. The unfortunate part is that the actors get tagged and bashed on social media because of their presence (which they have to maintain as part of their portfolio in today's day and age), not the producers or writers. The script isn't in Sai or any other actor's control. Hell, the script doesn't even seem to be in the producer's control!
I'm not too familiar with south TV shows and movies (don't even remotely understand any of the languages), but from whatever little I know, I think their media isn't as insane as ITV media (south bhi India mein hi hai so it should fall under the ITV umbrella, but you get what I mean). These actors are hounded for their time - kabhi what's in their bag, what's in their tiffin ka dabba, what's on their phone, who's on their phone, whereas all they want to do is show up to work, do their work, and then go home. They treat their work as their day job and not as a brand endorsement.
@ bold: Absolutely! I do think he might get typecast in the beginning and may get similar roles. Very few writers can grasp the difference between a typical angry, young man male lead (ie. Maan Singh Khurana, Arnav Singh Raizada, etc.) and RR. This character is fairly niche and I think a lot of producers will try to mimic it going forward.
Also, I don't think he was necessarily scolding. Bas normal jawab hi tha, I just found it funny because I took it as a sarcastic jab and that aligns with my sense of humour. 😆
