Suman rejects nepotism charge

Adhyayan Suman has denied that being the son of Indian screen legend Shekhar helped him break into Bollywood.

The 21-year-old actor, who made his debut in last year's Haal-e-dil, insisted that producers are casting him solely on talent.

He told IANS: "Even though I'm Shekhar Suman's son, as an individual I'm nobody. It wasn't easy for me at all to enter the film industry just because my father has been in the industry for so long.

"Unless you are promising and have talent no-one will put money on you and that goes for everyone. So I too had to struggle."

Jashnn, in which Suman stars alongside Anjana Sukhani and Shahana Goswami, is released on July 17.
