Nitanshi Goel signs her next with Ekta Kapoor, a move that fans say signals a Balaji Power gatekeeper shift [1]. The chatter frames Balaji as the architect behind fresh lineups and bookings in Bollywood.
That gatekeeper chatter leans on Ekta Kapoor’s reputation for curating a steady stream of newcomers, with fans suggesting she’s assembled a roster of B-list outsiders to shape careers [1].
No-hit films? No problem. Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra, Arjun Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra are still landing global endorsements and ads, underscoring how power networks trump box office [2]. These talks point to a pattern where connections can propel visibility even when cinema isn’t delivering big hits [2].
The current slate hints at who could land future projects: Sid, Varun, Ishann Khatter, Tiger Shroff, Arjun Kapoor, Jhanvi, and Ananya [3]. Fans see this as a sign that off-screen circles steer lineups as much as, if not more than, numbers do.
A separate tea from a legacy cricket family touches on the cricket-Bollywood nexus, politics, and deal-making that fans say propels careers even without festival-level hits [4].
Abhishek Bachchan pushes back on implications that aggressive PR alone keeps him relevant, a debate fans keep circling [5]. Power plays in Bollywood aren’t just about numbers—they’re about networks shaping the next signing. Keep an eye on who signs next to see the pattern in motion.
