50 million followers but not a movie in 6 years: How some ‘actors' are thriving even without film projects
At 23, Jannat Zubair Rahmani is one of the most popular Indians on social media. She has an astounding 50 million Instagram followers, more than even superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. Her Wikipedia page may describe her as an actor, but the last time Jannat was on the big screen was way back in 2018, when she had a cameo in Rani Mukerji's Hichki. She was 16 then. As an adult, Jannat has not worked in any film or appeared in a fiction show. Yet, thanks to Instagram and immense digital popularity, she is thriving in her career. And this isn't the story of Jannat alone. A number of actors popular on social media have realised that acting projects need not be their bread and butter. Jannat's case may be an extreme one, but there are several other former child stars who are selective with the films, but sustain their popularity through social media. Avneet Kaur, 23, began her career on TV at 8, and was a household name by her teens. Since her debut as a lead actor in Tiku Weds Sheru in 2023, she has done only one more film, which released a full year ago. She has not appeared in a TV show since the pandemic began. Yet, her social media popularity keeps growing. She has 32 million followers on Instagram, and Virat Kohli's 'like' may have contributed only 5% of that. A post shared by Jannat Zubair Rahmani (@jannatzubair29) These young actors grew up as the Instagram generation. They had verified accounts in their early teens and were already garnering more followers than Bollywood A-listers before they turned 18. To paraphrase what Bane said in The Dark Knight Rises, the Millennial stars adapted to Instagram, but these Gen Z were born with it, moulded by it. They leverage it like nobody else does. Case in point - Jannat and Avneet were among the only three Indians to meet Tom Cruise at the international premiere of Mission Impossible 8. No journalists or A-list actors were invited, but their social media clout made that possible. A post shared by Avneet Kaur (@avneetkaur_13) Slowly and gradually, older, relatively more established actors have taken note, too. Take Esha Gupta, for instance. The former Miss India made her Bollywood debut with Jannat in 2012. Over the next 7 years, she appeared in 12 more films in Hindi and one each in Tamil and Telugu. But the 2019 release, One Day: Justice Delivered, was her last big-screen appearance. She has appeared in three web series since, but even the last of those - Aashram season 3 - was 3 years ago. Yet, her popularity on social media has only increased. With 19 million followers, she is an A-lister on Instagram. Neha Sharma, of Chirutha and Crook fame, was last seen in a full-length role in Jogira Sara Ra Ra in 2023. In these two years, she has added 4 million Instagram followers without any film release. Niddhi Agerwal, once called Telugu cinema's next big thing, has acted in only eight films since her debut in 2017, the last of which was released in November 2022. Yet, her 30 million Instagram followers make her one of the top choices for brands on social media. A post shared by Neha Sharma 💫 (@nehasharmaofficial) Digital marketers say that actors are simply prioritising what is actually their bread and butter. For most of these stars, earnings from social media and brands far exceed what movies or web series give them. Even active actors like Disha Patani earn more from social media. Industry sources say that the actor, who does 2-3 films a year, earns ₹5-6 crore from them, but social media and brands can net her five times that amount in a year. That disparity drives their choices.

Manushi: CBFC to rewatch Vetri Maaran's film; Next hearing scheduled for June 17
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has agreed to re-evaluate the Tamil film Manushi, produced by acclaimed filmmaker Vetri Maaran and directed by Aramm fame Gopi Nainar. Starring Andrea Jeremiah in the lead and featuring music by maestro Ilaiyaraaja, Manushi was previously denied certification in 2024, prompting the filmmakers to seek legal recourse. According to The Hindu, on June 11, the CBFC informed the Madras High Court that a fresh screening of the film would take place on the same day to assess its controversial elements. Sensitive Subject Matter Prompted Initial CBFC Objection Manushi revolves around the story of a woman who is falsely accused of terrorism, and the film portrays instances of police brutality. The politically charged narrative reportedly drew strong objections from the CBFC, which initially withheld certification, citing that the film could be interpreted as casting the state government in a negative light and potentially misguiding the public regarding communist ideologies. Vetri Maaran Pushes for Transparency and Fair Evaluation In response, Vetri Maaran approached the Madras High Court, arguing that the original rejection lacked transparency. In his petition, he highlighted that the CBFC did not provide clear reasons or specific concerns regarding the film's content. He also emphasized that he was never given an opportunity to address or respond to the objections. Vetri Maaran expressed his willingness to make changes, including the removal or alteration of scenes deemed inappropriate—provided that the objections were clearly communicated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Supporting this position, the court noted that the CBFC must explicitly outline any problematic content so that reasonable edits can be made. The court also directed the CBFC to arrange a joint screening with the filmmakers to facilitate a fair re-evaluation. Next Hearing Scheduled for June 17 During the most recent hearing, CBFC's counsel confirmed that a re-screening had been scheduled and that the filmmakers would be briefed on the specific concerns. Justice Anand Venkatesh, who presided over the session, adjourned the case to June 17, awaiting the committee's report on whether Manushi can be certified or if further modifications are required. As the controversy unfolds, all eyes remain on the CBFC's decision, which could set a precedent for how politically sensitive films are reviewed and certified in India.

'Sitaare Zameen Par: Director R. S. Prasanna reveals his choice; Says, 'Aamir Khan was the only name for the film'
Director R. S. Prasanna's 'Sitaare Zameen Par', starring Aamir Khan, is a Hindi remake of the Spanish film Champions. The emotional sports drama follows a basketball coach training neurodivergent adults. Produced by Aamir Khan, it releases on June 20, promising a heartfelt, inspiring story. R. S. Prasanna, the director behind 'Kalyana Samayal Saadham' and 'Shubh Mangala Zyada Savdhan,' had only one actor in mind when he decided to make a film about Down syndrome—Bollywood's Aamir Khan . Prasanna felt that Aamir was the perfect choice to take on the role and do justice to the film's poignant title, 'Sitaare Zameen Par,' believing no one else could carry the story as effectively. A Magical Journey with Aamir Khan During his conversation with Moneycontrol, Prasanna described working with Aamir Khan as "a magical journey." He said, "Because the second I thought of who should play the role, who should I take the story to, the only person who came to my mind was Mr. Aamir Khan." From Apprehension to Destiny For his third film as a director, Prasanna admits he can hardly believe that he had the chance to work alongside Aamir. Considering his previous recognition came from collaborating with actors like Jitendra Kumar and Ayushmann Khurrana in 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan,' reaching out to a superstar like Aamir Khan was a daring move for him. Prasanna also shared that he felt a mix of apprehension, hope, and nervousness throughout the project. He believes that without Aamir Khan's involvement, the film would not have received the same level of love, sensitivity, and support that Aamir consistently brings to his work. Prasanna described their collaboration as a dream come true, where everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He expressed a strong belief in destiny, feeling that the film was almost creating itself through the people meant to tell its story, with Aamir serving as the ideal support and platform for the project. Film Details and Release Directed by RS Prasanna and co-produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh , along with ten debutants. The film, a Hindi remake of the Spanish film Champions, is set to release on June 20.
