Several debut films starring children of film industry personalities have underperformed at the box office or faced audience rejection in the last 10 years. In a recent report, Variety India listed them out in detail.
Ahan Shetty, son of Suniel Shetty, made his debut in Tadap. He had to bite the dust.
Khushi Kapoor, daughter of Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi, saw her theatrical debut Loveyapa becoming a flop.
Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor, starred in two films that failed commercially: Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan and Tu Yaa Main.
Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan, appeared in the Netflix release Naadaaniyaan and the Jio Hotstar project Sarzameen. Needless to say, he failed to make the cut.
Suhana Khan, daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, faced strong backlash for her role in The Archies. This has more to do with the audience's taste and judgement, and less about hard numbers.
Junaid Khan, son of Aamir Khan, has also yet to see a film hit the mark.
Rasha Thadani, daughter of Raveena Tandon, hasn't tasted success. She is debuting in Telugu with Srinivasa Mangapuram later this year.
Aaman Devgan, nephew of Ajay Devgn, co-starred in Azaad, a period drama that was a disaster. As per a report, it saw about 50% of its investment get wiped out.
Zahan Kapoor, grandson of Shashi Kapoor, debuted theatrically in Faraaz, which was described as a failure before moving to streaming.
Additional releases such as Agastya Nanda in Ikkis, Simar Bhatia in Ikkis, Pashmina Roshan in Ishq Vishk Rebound, and Alizeh Agnihotri in Farrey did not receive strong openings.
