Adi Shankar Thread - The Uwe Boll of animation.

[God of Nothing]

As posted earlier in the thread, Adi's father was formerly the Standard Charter CEO, now he's one of the four guys running a company called Gateway (archive). It may seem initially far-fetched but I linked an article earlier that mentions Vis Shankar was the Standard Charter CEO, and this video (archive) here shows Standard Charter CEO Vis Shankar working in Africa. Gateway similarly focuses on development in Africa and it's clearly the same guy.

Also he just straight up looks like an older Adi.

jeets and nepotism go hand in hand

jeets and nepotism go hand in hand

So I don't dox myself, I'll put it this way: I may have met Adi once or twice in some circles. He's a sperg with daddy's money. I'm not the one who was behind the dox, however I was the one who cleaned it up. Adi was fading into obscurity, so he's hemorrhaging funds to rally up the "gamer hate" and has been calling out to a lot of people who, more or less, ignored him after some incidents (Typical Jeet shit). He's also reaching out to old contacts because of this, and someone, somewhere, is unhappy with him and did a control release of his information besides the dox I posted.

Yes, there are some images of him floating on X, either removed or so hidden in the depths it may not be found.

He votes however Daddy tells him to vote, and may have been used to funnel funds to specific groups.

His dislike for Trump? The H1B1 visas--he believes, like his dad, that the U.S. is rightful Indian land. Don't ask me how it makes sense to them, no one gets it.

And yes, Adi is obsessed with his public image, hence his chris-chan tier responses, the "I'm totally trolling, guizes!" (totally pretending to be retarded) shit to social signal to wannabe millenial internet users. He's a hack who's using Jeet resources and daddy's money to keep himself where he is now. Yes, he doesn't write his own shit but uses a team of jeets that daddy hired, like the one who was paid off to edit Adi's wikipedia article and to hurt the SEO and rank of certain pages.

One, check here: https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/adi-shankar.html
>He was born in India. He moved to the US with his family during his junior year of high school.

Two, check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adi_Shankar
>His family spent his formative years relocating among Chennai, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Singapore. He immigrated to Rhode Island, USA by himself at the age of 16 two days before 9/11.

Yes, they're working on the tragic, misunderstood and attacked "migrant child" angle. He was rich. Always was and always will be. He has daddy money. He was in the US with his family. He went to a private school. And not to fuck up his artificially created backstory, his daddy is paying an army of jeets in India to continuously shut down or lower in search results the articles and posts about him.

His biggest fear?
Adi's past.

Why?
"send me ur vegana pic" I big pinus. Post bobs. I fooked hores.

He wasn't bullied for being a street shitter but a cringe egotistic piece of shit that daddy bought hookers for him to fuck because the girls at school made fun of him.

I don't know where some of his posts may be, however he laments himself forgetting passwords to old reddit accounts and a cringe deviantART account.

I work for a living however once I get more time, I'll try to speak to some people from his past and do some deep diving into the dox to find his old stuff. If found, I'm sure it'd make him lose it, especially his shitty poetry. This doesn't mean people should be complacent and wait for me, because if I recall correctly it's juicy and would make him mad and sperg out again.

Also his dislike for Apu was because he was called that for his accent when he first came here. Like, he'd obsessively tell everyone about the teasing to the point he used it for sympathy points and would get mad when none were given.

If I get more time and remember or find more, I'll pop in once more.

I'll say this in leaving though: He's a corrupt piece of shit and you're totally correct on the jeet nepotism.

He did it again folks:

Here is a recent interview with a bunch of whining hot takes:

The Cannes Film Festival gets underway this week, and there's been a lot of talk this year about how Hollywood in general is kind of sitting out the festival, which doesn’t have a lot of Hollywood offerings. Sundance is moving from Utah to Colorado. What do you think is the single biggest problem plaguing film festivals these days?
Shankar: I think this is just kind of a general problem, not necessarily a film festival problem, but I think the era of the brand manager is ending. Today’s audiences can smell committee-built entertainment now. And there are so many other offerings now, so why would someone engage with something that is run by a brand manager?
We've both been in the business for a long time, right? My perception of how it works is that during every period or era of Hollywood, the business basically congregates around a certain individual or a certain group of individuals, and says, ‘These will be our stars. This is who the system is going to get behind this go-round.’ Right? And then that person magically turns into a movie star or an A-list director or some visionary auteur or something. But that's how we mint stars in this town, right? Would you agree with that?
Sure….
Shankar: Okay. But then they’re left in the hands of the world's most generic man, Joe Russo [of the Russo brothers], who makes premium mediocre content with a capital fucking C. That’s who was minted by the town and given resources. Joe Russo makes premium mediocre content with a capital fucking C, and that's the problem.
What do you see happening in this industry that makes you go, I wish I'd thought of that? And what do you see happening that just needs to end?
Shankar: Jesus, that's a great question. Well, first of all, I think in this premium mediocre business model, where billions of dollars were pulled out of the system, creative decision-making just became risk management. And the broader filmmaking ecosystem pays the price because everything that is being produced is an expensive pastiche with zero soul.
That needs to end, but it's already ending, or ended, right? We're kind of in the echo of that right now. But I think that plug just needs to get pulled. I'm not trying to be mean here, but I think my issue here is when I drive around L.A., and I see all these people without a job or without a role, and I see the industry is suffering, it's like, ‘Okay, part of the suffering is because you have individuals who are literally raising billions of dollars to produce shit.’
There's a lot of damage that gets left behind in its wake, and those individuals don't suffer because they get to flex and do whatever the hell it is that they do. It's the next generation and the generation after that suffer, right?
The massive contraction is a response to the individuals who were given the baton and told, ‘Hey, we believe in you. Go hit a fucking home run.’ And instead they sat at home and put the money in their pocket.
We're seeing the fallout hit now, and where it always hits hardest is the creative middle class. The working people who built this business start losing their fucking homes, and that's not cool.
So yeah, the string of $200 million committee-written, committee-directed slop projects was a problem, and now, the problem is that we’re living in the aftershock of that, and it’s fucked up. Just look at all the people now who won't get opportunities because of that [greed].
But maybe I'm just jealous. Maybe I'm mad that I didn't get on that gravy train. I should’ve made a deal with AGBO and gotten on that fucking gravy train and tried to make a Pac-Man Cinematic Universe, only to lose the rights to fucking Justin Baldoni. Which is dark, man.
