Taking a jibe at the way Bollywood works, perennially smiling adman Prahlad Kakkar had the audience at the Mumbai Film Festival in splits when he said the industry is a mom and pop shop.
"Why use a good actor when you can have a nephew? And if you have to create stars anyway, why not from the family? It is hence very difficult for men to become stars. But since Bollywood does not want their women to be in films, females have a better chance of becoming stars or starlets. Men stars are usually useless nephews and sons," he said at a forum.
