The never-ending debate on nepotism has sure stirred some heated waves from some really influential people in the industry. In fact, Karan Johar himself has admitted that he is a ‘product of nepotism’. However, he further says that he has made the most of the opportunity and not merely taken it for granted.

“I might be a product of nepotism but I used the opportunity to do my best rather than just milk it. I hope to start a film school that teaches grass root filmmaking to students who do not have the opportunities.” Talking highly of the South Indian film industry, he said, “There is conviction in South Indian films that is lacking in Bollywood. Cinema is not supposed to be reality but a dream world.”

This sure is a great initiative taken by the filmmaker to help out people who have aspirations of making it big in the film industry.
