17. Whispers begin about lead pair 'chemistry'. Their special bond, as They're spotted together eating ice cream, gym training, going to a movie. Romantic involvement rumours go into overdrive, esp if it's a lead debut pair. Else the other actor still has to go through with it

In case their film flops
20. The film releases. Again, Bollywood goes crazy. Preview shows get Amitabh Bachchan and all other lesser mortals. Fake stories planted everywhere about their acting prowess, crowd reactions and housefull shows etc.

21. 10% of the films are a hit. These kids are described as the next big thing, put on Bollywood power lists and instantly installed into the future Hall of Fame (like how Obama was given the Nobel Prize when he became President!)
22. 20% of films do decent business, breakeven

These kids are commended for their talent. They thank the audience for their love & support. And instantly their next projects are announced
23. The remaining 70% don't do well, but are still praised to high heavens, if A list kids. Rumours begin on how film subject wasn't right

Or the release strategy had flaws. Or the audiences weren't mature enough to understand the movie. The A listers get a few more cracks at stardom (Abhishek Bachchan is the untouchable legend here) while others fade quietly away, resurfacing every now and then, only to sink again
24. The really persistent flop kids, especially silver spooners, after a few years also try to turn to their 'true passion' / real objective and try their hand at directing / producing etc
25. 80% of all romances, causes amongst the non hit actors stop immediately
The End😉🖖
