Kay Kay Menon is considered one of the finest actors in Indian cinema. Having ruled the hearts of cinephiles for over two decades, Menon has ruled the Ott segment this year with roles in Shekhar Home, Murshid, and now Citadel: Honey Bunny.

He is an actor who had no connection to the industry but made it big. In a recent interview, he offered his insights on the old-age debate of Nepotism, which continues to divide the Indian film industry and fans. In this regard, Menon offered his candid perspective, encouraging talented actors to work hard.

Kay Kay Menon says Nepotism is standard in every field

As per the Times of India, Kay Kay Menon shared his remarks on Nepotism.

I’ve become quite a fan of mafia-style series like Farzi, Mirzapur, and Paatal Lok—they always seem to grab my attention. So, naturally, when I started watching Murshid, especially with Kay Kay Menon in the lead, I had high hopes. But to be honest, it felt repetitive and pretty mediocre.

The question is, what really happened to push Murshid back into this life? And who were the key characters that influenced his return to power? Let’s break it down in this cast and character guide of Murshid season 1.

But after the tragic death of his elder son, Murshid made a life-changing decision – he put down his gun for good. He swore to leave behind his ways and promised never to turn to violence again. Instead, he took all the wealth he had accumulated and gave it away to the people of Mumbai. He helped the poor, the downtrodden, and the sick. Even though he walked away from his dangerous past, people still remember him. They still fear him, but there’s a deep respect for what he did for them. But, as life plays tricks on him,...
