Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has been quite vocal on social media lately. A few days ago, he sparked a conversation by questioning the Federation of West India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) decision to impose a ban on Ranveer Singh regarding the ‘Don 3’ dispute. This stance earned him a sharp response from FWICE. Since then, Gupta has continued to speak his mind on various happenings within the industry.
His latest comment came in the form of an indirect reaction to the trolling that Janhvi Kapoor has been facing over her controversial scenes in Ram Charan’s ‘Peddi’.
Without naming Janhvi, Gupta took to ‘X’ to express his concern about how social media has been damaging actors’ careers. Sanjay didn’t mince his words and said that social media is actively destroying the careers of actors who have barely had a chance to find their footing in the industry. In his view, these young actors are being thrown into a world that is ruthless and shows absolutely no mercy.
He wrote, “Social media is literally destroying the careers of actors that have hardly taken off. They are facing a ruthless & unforgiving world. They need to realise just how very careful they need to be with their choices. The audience is judge, jury and algorithm.”
Over the years, Sanjay has built an impressive body of work that includes films like ‘Aatish’, ‘Ram Shastra’, ‘Hameshaa’, ‘Jung’, ‘Kaante’, ‘Musafir’, ‘Zinda’, ‘Dus Kahaniyaan’, ‘Jazbaa’, ‘Kaabil’ and others. His most recent project, ‘The Miranda Brothers’, arrived on ‘JioCinema’ in 2024. Known for his long-standing partnerships with Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham, Gupta has consistently been one of the more prolific and recognisable names behind the camera in Hindi cinema.
