It was back in 1997 when popular actor, Shekhar Suman hosted a celebrity chat show, Movers And Shakers. The show was an instant hit as it had a mixture of satire and comedy to it. The show bagged many awards and became a cult show in Indian television history. As per reports, Shekhar Suman was paid Rs. 30 crores for a 3-year contract back in the day for hosting Movers And Shakers. However, not in his wildest nightmares, he had thought that decades later, his son, Adhyayan Suman, would face the consequences of the satire that he used in the show in the context of the film industry.
Shekhar Suman’s son, Adhyayan Suman made his acting debut in Bollywood with the film, Haal-E-Dil, which was released back in 2008. After this, he got a role in Raaz-The Mystery Continues, in which his role received a lot of thumbs up. However, it was his performance in the film, Jashnn, that impressed a lot of critics, but even then, he didn’t get a lot of convincing projects. Now, in his latest interview, Adhyayan opened up about the reasons why he couldn’t make a successful career in Bollywood despite having such a bright start.

In a candid conversation with the Hindustan Times, Adhyayan Suman opened up about not getting enough work in the film industry. While unfolding a series of events that happened in his professional life, Adhyayan also recalled being thrown out of multiple projects at the last minute by so many big producers. The actor admitted that producers took revenge on his father, Shekhar Suman, by not letting him work in Bollywood. The actor was asked to reveal the reason why some producers were irked by his father even to this very day. In response to it, Adhyayan revealed that things his father said about producers during his show, Movers And Shakers, irked them.
Further, in the interview, Adhyayan Suman revealed that his father, Shekhar Suman, used to say the things that were mentioned in the show’s script. The doting son admitted that his father hadn’t made any changes in the script and also it was just a show. However, Adhyayan explained that people in the industry had so many grudges in their hearts for his dad, and they took their revenge by not providing him with work. Opening up about the same, he said:
"I did not get a lot of films because of a show that my father did — Movers and Shakers. Though he was given a script for every episode, there were a few people who got offended because of what he said and held grudges that ‘Shekhar ne humaare baare mein kaise baat kari’."

In the same interview, Adhyayan Suman talked about his father, Shekhar Suman’s famous show, Movers And Shakers. Opening up about his views about the show, Adhyayan clearly stated that neither his father used any foul language nor he made direct comments about anyone in the show. However, despite all of that, he was still targeted by producers just to satisfy their individual egos. Sharing his disappointment over the matter, Adhyayan said:
"There were neither any personal attacks nor he used any abusive language. He just did his job and it was just a show. But their egos were very fragile perhaps, and they took it personally. And thought ki iska badla iske bete par nikaalenge."
On the professional front, Adhyayan Suman was last seen in the film, Chup: Revenge of an Artist.
