A blind item that was recently published by The Opinionated Indian reveals among other things, how top-notch Bollywood actors go out of their way to be favored by the big-budget directors. The connection between a Hollywood-level director, and a film's fate is so strong that even A-list actresses make it a point to manage relationships and even befriend colleagues in order to land spots in the most desired productions.

Blind Itrm

A good filmmaker can make a cult classic out of a simple script, while mediocre filmmakers can't deliver a hit even after making a scene-by-scene remake of hit films. Bollywood actors are well aware of the importance of working with good directors. This A-list superstar actress is too shrewd not know about it. She will go out of her way to endear herself to the top filmmakers. Take the case of the magnum opus she is working on currently. The filmmaker made several blockbusters with her closest competitor. The A-list actress left no stone unturned to cajole the filmmaker to make movies with her. As per a source, she has been trying to woo the director who recently delivered a blockbuster in the spy thriller genre. She is heaping praises on the filmmaker's actress wife & hoping to get into her good books. Getting pally with the celeb's family & asking the sibling/spouse/parent to put in a good word is an old trick in Bollywood. The filmmaker's next project is the most coveted movie in all of Bollywood as of this date. Time will tell whether the superstar will succeed.

The post with the blurred text gives some clues about the situation with this actress who is the main star of the project and is even willing to go so far as to flirt with the director. She seems to have a good strategy that involves very praising and getting along with the people around him, and so far, she has played her cards right to be in the industry’s most discussed movie. In Bollywood, being in the right place at the right time is as crucial as talent itself.

Moreover, the mingling of family ties and personal relationships as a shortcut to professional chances makes the matter even more intriguing. The actress does not seem to be going straight to the director but rather trying to win over his actress wife by praising her and being in her good books. This old school type of networking has helped many stars in the past, and it appears the same methods are still effective.

On the one hand, this blind item sheds light on the fact that there is still a lot of competition in Bollywood, that it is more cutthroat than ever, especially when it is about partnering with the most lucrative directors. With an ever-decreasing number of grand projects and a multitude of top-notch actors after the same parts, such tactics might appear a necessity rather than an option. The entire world is now watching this superstar actress's every step to see if she finally manages to get what she wants.
