After working in several underrated but acclaimed films, actor Divyendu Sharma became a household name owing to his performance in the massively popular web show 'Mirzapur'. As of now, the actor is looking forward to the release of fantasy drama 'Brahmastra' in which he'll be seen playing a pivotal role.

In a recent promotional interview for the same, Divyendu touched upon the subject of nepotism and stated that it has its own merits and demerits. He told Siddharth Kannan, "There are no two ways about it. If I had it, it would obviously come with advantages. But it also has its own set of disadvantages as well. One is always under the scanner and people are always watching you."

He further shared, "The debate here is not preferences, it is about merit. If you see someone who deserves to be there, say Ranbir Kapoor, one would never feel bad to watch him. But at the same time someone with a surname of his/her family is there on screen, then you would feel that, someone who knows how to act should have been there.”

Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead, 'Brahmastra' is set to release on 9th of September this year.
