Looking at him in this video I never imagined he'll be so deadly in Pataal Lok.
Film Companion is venturing into different avenues to help aspiring actors to the best of their ability. Thanks to Anupama Chopra and team. I have never seen any other Indian channel doing such work to showcase what goes behind the camera.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you so much for showing what happens. I never knew something like this exists!
Ohh it's great to know that Abhisekh is also a successful casting Ditector, apart from an actor!!
The second guy who was with him seems to be very gentle. God bless both of u ✍✍
Since you brought up the issue about nepotism in the end part of the interview, I would like to add that the casting directors of this sort are primarily casting for supporting roles and some other smaller roles, say the lead hero''s friends and friends' friends. The star kids that are launched entirely bypass this process. Do you think Saif would call these guys (with due respect to these guys) and say take my daughter Sara in the film. Hell No! Sara would directly go, meet a Rohit Shetty and land a role in a big budget Bollywood film !
correct
That is the reality
Siddhartha Bharadwaj Spot on. Well said.
And when a couple of actors died mysteriously..It was completely exposed.
Yahi hua
This is the best example of how the film industry is growing. The filmmakers have the advantage of outsourcing a very important aspect, Casting to such vibrant companies/individuals. This really gievs them more time to work on their craft.
This is exactly why I love film companion. They bring us the content we need
The fact you are well prepared when you meet these professionals reflects on your show,I like that 👌 you enquire what the viewers might want to know,unlike many others who kind of try to promote themselves.you have earned my respect 🙏🏻
That tall guy's Abhishek Bannerjee who acted in Stree(Role of "Jena")
Compounder in mirzapur,hathoda tyagi,also in Bala with ayushmank
One of the best actor we have and even he's my idol.🙏🏻❤️
Mam we would love a cheat sheet episode on how PR Agencies work for actors and films.
Good idea, Shivam! Made note of it.
I have been a celebrity PR Professional
It going to really help actors like me who are struggling to get a role in films or else Thank you Sneha mam and Film companion for such a good Program 🙏
Glad it helped, Akshay!
Akshay Watve mehnat karte rehna, god bless you bro! Power to u!
Sneha Menon Desai Thank to you n team keep uploding such informative videos 😘
Dev Shah Thank you Brother... its really nice of you Will keep hardworking. Lots of Love to you too
Akshay Watve thanks bro! I’ve seen too many friends go the engineering route and give up their dreams of being on the big screen cuz of these stupid and untalented star kids who think they’re going to revolutionize commercial Hindi films when they don’t know the ABC’s of acting. They think two years at a method acting institute in NY will form them into the great stars their parents are, while true actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rajkummar Rao spend years perfecting their craft and actually do meaningful cinema. If ur craft is strong and you have talent, no Kapoor or Khan can deny you your merit
Nepotism wale will never be like “ mere bache ka auditions lelo”. They be like “movie Bana mere bache ko launch karne ke liye”
shikhar chohan lol true. Bahaut talented logh bahar dhake kha the hai aur Janhvi Kapoor jaise star kids ko ek Karan Johar directed film milti hai, aur woh bhi Ranveer Singh jaise talented actor ke saath. Rajkummar Rao aur Nawazuddin Siddiqui ko dekho. Itne kamaal ke actors hai phir bhi Ranbir Kapoor jaise Actoron ko front row seats milti hai IIFA aur Filmfare mein. Naam ne hi India ko pagal kar diya hai
You would have done the same thing for your children if you were a superstar.
Shekhar Singh are Bhai itna dimag kahan se Laya tu? Matlab kya socha hai Bhai tune wah!!!!
Dev Shah Bhai ranbeer kapoor to achi acting karta hai
I don't support Nepotism,I just understand it.A father will always support a untalented son over a talented stranger.
As far as as I have noticed Casting Bay is huge and very famous. I have noticed their name in current famous projects.. Bhushi bhaiya toh bade aadmi nikle!!
On every web series by TVF casting is done by casting bay right ?
kaustubh tawani Yeah thats right
OMG who knew Abhishek is also the casting director! Saw him first with TVF pitchers, then other show with another stand up comedian. Now he is here in Mirzapur superb acting! He is in Stree!
Question about "Casting Couch" !!!! Thanks Anmol and Abhishek for your lovely tips !!!!
Good one.god bless abhishek anmol. No meeting outside regarding casting is good thing.
I just remembered... "Tu Beer Hai..."
bc
Something that most of us didn't know about. Tax for this Sneha....! And FC😍!
Happy to see u growing Abhi.. good work bro...
Sachin Singh Bol tho aisa rahe ho jaise mausi ji ka ladka hai. 😂😂😂
@@sheman2470 ha ha true bro... we r brothers from different mothers.. 😎😎😍😍
very helpful video..and yes must say the anchor is looking very pretty
Actor - Acting - Talent, Hard Work, Luck. 👍
Wat a Professional Abhishek is....hatsoff
Abhishek Banerjee is such a humble & great actor & casting director also..!!❤️😌
Are ye to bushi hai pitchers Wala
shikhar chohan Yes. Also Casting Bay does casting for almost all TVF shows.
Bhushi humorously yours me tha, pitchers me ye bhati tha!
Yes😂😂
Cheat sheet is back. Yeaaah !
:D Yay!
Good work Abhishek Sir and Amol sir Gulashanji snehaji
Mera name bhi sneha he
Good. Very much. It has become infamous thing. But such persons assures u s there r good people. Not to worry.
Hi Sneha, you must protect your videos by using copy right. They are phenomenal, also approach some TV channels to telecast your videos. Indians love movies and everything associated with it, good luck
Thank you for giving such genuine insights ❤️
maam good show.... happy to watch a malayali hosting an hindi show in 'Mayanagri Mumbai'
Problem With Acting Is That It Looks Easy On Screen And This Is The Reason Many People Get Misguided. 😕
So glad you're back ma'am
Good to be back :)
These are the same guys who casts all of TVFs web series
wow Sneha herself speaks so well & looks good too - she should totally be an actor !
Ha ha! Thank you Amrapali! :)
Even I agree. Sneha does possess Authentic Flamboyant Smile 😊 & appears supremely confident almost effortless which makes her presence felt throughout. I mean it absolutely.
Dear Sneha, My suggestion is, prefer wearing anything that won't make you look more petite than what you're, Choose your colors wisely & just flaunt your figure girl! Workout in moderation to feel good & Please Eat b'coz you're featherweight, literally.
Sneha Menon Desai Chechi you are good. Keep it up.
Jana Jana... Jana Jana Jana... Jana Jana

Hi. Please do a video on how to get into AD'ing on mainstream films.
How many of you remember that show "daaru pr charcha".
I went to gave audition when they called for “open auditions” but they said you are not fitting in a character. They didn’t give me a chance even :)
What was the character?
This the truth brother Because No Matter How Much Good As An Actor you are they Never Select In if you physical feature doesn't Resonates with it If you have similar physical Body height Like 1% then they maybe Willing to give you chance ... It's like To save your time And Theirs too ..
Nikita at 2:46 was also part of Patallok as lady constable Manju Verma.
Right
Very Effective for the freshers.

Ma'am you should go for films,you have an attractive way of speaking and you are full of cuteness
It is highly informative and useful. Kudos 👌 to you guys. I think a time restricted video of Audition, if uploaded, will be further useful to all, irrespective of cast, creed, community, age,male or female. Here everyone, aspirants, casting directors, directors, producers, etc, etc.
