Aditya's Downfall

I guess people in India will remember this fellow

Aditya Roy Kapur, brother of the known producer Siddharth Roy Kapur, was one of the most famous faces back in 2013, thanks to Aashiqui 2. Things skyrocketed for him like crazy. For those who don’t know, Aditya’s role was that of a famous singer whose career was on decline and therefore he was finding solace in alcohol, until meeting a girl with aspirations to become a singer, and then began helping that girl out of sheer love for her.

Everyone I guess expected that Bollywood has just got a new talent at helm.

Following the above film, he did some other roles (not lead ones) and then he starred in a film with Parineeti Chopra which didn’t quite lift off. All was well.

Was Well

Until of course, he decided to take part in this, a seriously big mistake

The story was about a painter in love with a girl from a high-class family. People who made this movie claimed that it was based on Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations.

Now I haven’t read the book, however those who did, there was a joke they said -

We are trying to find the Great Expectations, with binoculars. Next week we shall use telescope.

Apparently, more attention and money was poured in to make Katrina Kaif get that highly unnatural red hair rather than deciding a good script . It was plainly a sick joke.

Since then, his career hasn’t quite lifted off. He tried with two more movies, including one last year, however that movie was a disaster, and his career hasn’t quite lifted off since then.

He is still very much active in the industry, however compared to 2011, he is now an almost invisible man.
