Updated :

Netflix's upcoming young adult romantic drama, Nadaaniyan, is set to release soon, starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor in a heartwarming tale of first love, but the film's anticipation is marred by controversy over nepotism in Bollywood.

The film, directed by debutante director Shauna Gautam, follows the journey of two young individuals from contrasting backgrounds who find themselves on a romantic adventure filled with mischief and romance. Nadaaniyan marks the acting debut of Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, who is being launched by Karan Johar, a renowned filmmaker known for introducing new talent to the industry.

However, the film's casting has sparked controversy, with audiences criticizing Khushi Kapoor's inclusion, citing her lack of acting skills and the availability of better actors. Netizens have also questioned Karan Johar's decision to launch star kids, earning him the nickname "the flag-bearer of nepotism." Despite this, Karan Johar has expressed enthusiasm for introducing Ibrahim Ali Khan to the world, praising his family's artistic legacy and confidently asserting that he is set to follow in their footsteps.

The film's producers, Dharmatic Entertainment, believe Nadaaniyan celebrates love in its purest form, introducing a fresh pairing with Ibrahim and Khushi. As the release date approaches, excitement for Nadaaniyan continues to build, but the controversy surrounding nepotism in Bollywood is unlikely to subside, with many fans expressing frustration that the movie will be released on Netflix, implying a lack of confidence in the actors and the film.

As Nadaaniyan prepares to take audiences on a heartwarming journey of young love, it remains to be seen whether the film will be able to overcome the controversy surrounding its casting and prove its mettle as a worthy addition to Netflix's roster of romantic comedies.
