Abhimanyu Singh has expressed his opinion on the trolling faced by journalist Saurabh Dwivedi after his acting debut in Kartavia. Speaking in a recent interview, the actor said that while every profession deserves respect, acting is a completely different craft that cannot be mastered overnight.Abhimanyu, who has received praise for his work in South Indian cinema across multiple languages, also spoke about why he feels talent is often recognized outside the home country first, and compared it to late actor Irrfan Khan.
“Ghar ki murgi dal barabar”
When asked why Indian cinema did not give him the kind of journey his talent deserved despite being appreciated by southern filmmakers, Abhimanyu said people often look far away for opportunities while ignoring talents close to them.“Kai baar hum aur kisi bahut behtareen cheez ki talaash meindoor dekh rahe hote hain, jabki woh cheez yahin hoti hai. Bas out of focus hoti hai. Ghar ki murgi daal barabar wali baat hai,” he told Indian Rush.
“Irfan bhai ko bhi pehle confession nahi mela tha”
Recalling Irrfan Khan’s journey, Abhimanyu added that Bollywood started evaluating the actor differently only after Hollywood recognized him.“Irrfan bhai just bade bhai jaise the. Jab tak Hollywood ne unko confession nahi dya, Bollywood ne unko us nazar se nahi dekha.”

He said: “Ho sakta hai main kisi group ka hissa nahi hoon. Ho sakta hai main utna social nahi hoon. Ya shayad main apna pr theek se nahi kar raha.”
“Instagram followers are successfully following the movie Nahi Hoti”
Abhimanyu also spoke about the growing obsession with social media popularity in casting decisions.
According to him, the number of followers does not guarantee box office success.“Ek casting wale ne mujhe bola ki main hero, heroine aur main villain ko chhod kar baaki follower actors ke base pe cast kar raha hoon,” he recalls.The actor said he later pointed out that despite casting social media stars, films still fail. He explained, “Social media alag game hai. Phone pe kisi koscroll karte hue dekhna aur paise kharch karke theater mein dekhna bahut bada difference hai.”

Woh bahut acche journalist hain.
