ARJUN RAMPAL ON NEPOTISM AND SHAH RUKH KHAN'S CHARACTER FROM 'OM SHANTI OM' BEING IRRITATING
Arjun Rampal, who is present throughout the movie Om Shanti Om, plays a big producer, Mukesh Mehra. He is the film's main antagonist. His character, however, doesn't share much space with Shah Rukh's Om Prakash Makhija, who dies in a fire accident.
But, Rampal interacts with SRK's reincarnated character, Om Kapoor. And as per Arjun, the reincarnated character Om in the film, played by Shah Rukh Khan, was "irritating".
This happened when Rampal was having a conversation with Harper's Bazaar about nepotism in Bollywood. The actor went on to say that SRK's rebirth character was "nepo" and bothersome.
Arjun said in the interview, "I've had many arguments on nepotism with a lot of people. Yes, there is definitely a huge advantage that a person from a film family has; if they want to join the profession, they surely have a head start. They would maybe get more chances than another person, but that's the destiny of that person. You don't choose the family that you're born into."
When the host asked if Shah Rukh's Om Kapoor from Om Shanti Om was a nepo baby, Arjun stated, "When he (Shah Rukh Khan's character) is born the second time, he comes a nepo. It was an irritating character."
For the uninitiated, Arjun Rampal and Shah Rukh Khan have worked in Ra.One and Don. SRK had a special cameo in Arjun's 2006 film I See You.
The nepotism debate was raised by Kangana Ranaut on Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan, and since then the debate has been making headlines. Many celebs have shared their viewpoints on the issue, however, opinions remain divided as to whether it is a problematic issue in the industry or not.
