Agastya Nanda, who did the war movie Ikkis Jaise with Dharmendra, is identified as the grandson of Amitabh Bachchan. It's but natural. But on some fronts he increased the challenge for his film career. While he has separated himself from the legacy of Bachchan and Kapoor, what kind of film he will do after Twenty One, what kind of role the audience will accept him in - it is in question. Agastya's upcoming film has not been formally announced. Obviously the topic would be being selected, a new plot would be being discovered. Because with the quality with which Agasya has debuted on the big screen in the role of twenty-one year old martyr Arun Khetrapal, it is expected that the story of his next film should also be of the same level or better.
Point to be noted is that twenty one in the midst of a storm The box office collection was not very good. But the positive thing for Agastya is that his acting in Ikkis has been praised by everyone. In a way, the audience has given a green signal to Agastya's film career and also felt the possibility of a better future. People have liked the direction of Shriram Raghavan and the acting of Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat. But despite all the praises, by playing this character, Agastya made his path forward difficult. Now Agastya will have to prove himself by coming out of the war movie genre by doing a different role and garner the love of the fans.
At this age most star kid actors debut in romantic roles. Rishi Kapoor, Kumar Gaurav, Sanjay Dutt, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor etc. have followed this tradition. But Agastya took a different path. It was not easy to play a heavy character like Shaheed Arun Khetrapal. But Agastya performed it successfully and also gained fame. If you pay attention, the fame of artists in the Hindi film industry has its own style. If any actor had played the character of martyr Arun Khetrapal, he would have got exposure.
This is the reason why Amitabh expressed enthusiasm about Agasya's future on every front. twenty-one When he returned from the premiere, he was praised on social media. Got emotional after seeing his grandson's acting. Did tremendous promotion on KBC stage. Agastya also got good attention by debuting with a veteran actor like Dharmendra. Amitabh Bachchan himself got the opportunity to share the screen with Dharmendra after many years of entering the industry, but Agastya proved to be lucky in this matter. Dharmendra's last film, Agastya's first film.
It is noteworthy that gossip related to the film industry has its own principle. The artists of the new generation start being compared to his legacy. Of course, Agasya is the son of escorts owner Nikhil Nanda but he has entered the world of acting. That's why his name was added with Amitabh. In the media, Agastya was mostly addressed as Amitabh's grandson. Agastya's own family was relatively less highlighted. Meanwhile, the discussion also started as to how much Agastya will be able to carry forward the legacy of his maternal grandfather Amitabh and maternal uncle Abhishek in films.
This gossip forced Agastya to respond. He had to say that his surname is neither Bachchan nor Kapoor – his surname is Nanda, and his first duty is to make his father proud. Agastya also accepted with great simplicity that he could never become Bachchan or Kapoor. He is Nanda and will remain Nanda. If you pay attention, this statement of Agastya is very important. Agastya, just twenty-five years old, showed great wisdom in answering. Accepted the reality and along with its original heritage also drew a line for its future.
The heights that Raj Kapoor or Amitabh Bachchan achieved in the film industry and made their mark is not at all easy for many of today's new artists. Agastya belongs to a more prosperous family than them. The struggle that the Kapoor or Bachchan families faced cannot be their share.
Agastya is the son of Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Raj Kapoor's grandson Nikhil Nanda. Nikhil Nanda's mother's name is Ritu Nanda and she is the daughter of Raj Kapoor. In this respect, Agastya has inherited the legacy of two big families of Bollywood. But he courageously set aside both these legacies and chose to call himself Nanda, so the strength of this should also be understood.
Nikhil Nanda is one of the biggest industrialists in the country today. He is the CMD of the escorts company. He is the owner of a company worth more than Rs 42 thousand crores. His grandfather was Hariprasad Nanda, who founded Escorts and his father Rajan Nanda took the business to new heights. That means Agastya is the heir of this industrial family.
Obviously, going forward, Agastya will have to choose his priority. Acting or industry, or both? How Agastya creates coordination among them will also be kept an eye on. By the way, Agastya has made it clear by calling himself 'Nanda' that the legacy of his industrialist father is more important for him. In the field of acting, he can neither be like Bachchan nor Kapoor. 'Nanda' will remain the same.
