When every casting director talks about there being a skill set to it-You should ask them to pin point on what they think it is so that people have some concrete idea and can hold them to it.
Can we get a Production Designers Adda, please??? Would love to hear their process!!
Yes. Production design is the most underrated art in cinema.
Editing is most underated craft in film making.
There is saying Editor is last screenwriter.
@@datsrohan Editing will never determine what is in the frame. Editor can only help the film if it has good scenes.
Editing is Filmmaking
Editing is the only art which is unique to Filmmaking
Everything else is borrowed from other art form
Hence editing is Filmmaking
There is a reason why film companion is loved so much !
What an insightful conversation. Amazing to see our Khaleesi - Tess Joseph on this panel :)
I have worked withfew of them...1 thing i learnet in all these years is LUCK as i was
auditioned for some other role in Raees and was selexted for HANSMUKH BHAI...for whuch i was never auditioned and i thank Mr Honey Trehan and Ashutosh bhai for it.🙏
So Guys work hard n let your luck decide
With all due respect, I could only hear Tess speaking. She was cutting in when someone is talking, stopped Abhishek atleast twice when he was speaking..... I really wanted to hear from others if not more, atleast in equal amounts. And also their thoughts behind a few more of the amazing casting they have done.
Well i want to know why almost all casting call description wants “fair or tall” actors, and dusky or dark complexion is casted as a poor background character? Can colourism be discussed in the process in future casting directors adda. Also can we define whats “pretty and attractive and beautiful” these are terms used a lot in these casting calls. Who can define what beautiful is when beauty is subjective. An actor would read these and already feel insecure for even going for these auditions as all these terms are put in place.
True I guess that’s first line of every audition update , Need Fair , Rich look. Well pointed
Personal reasons for Shanoo and Mukesh? Seems like YRF and SRK related people are avoiding the media glare. Nandini Shrikent works mainly for Dharma and Excel. It is a pity what the media witchhunt has done.
It's unfair... I really don't think they should've been given such treatment
Your videos are a masterclass of current Indian Cinema. Amazing! Production design adda please!!
Learned so much from it, want more videos to come like this, sometimes as an actor we see only one side of it, Thankyou for showing their point of view. It help us to work more 💐
A better question would have been how are star kids recommended for a film or how some are replaced by star kids ? That would have ended this unnecessary debate.
Loved Tess’s response, seemed like she threw shade at somebody 😉
Star kids are recommended by producers because in audiences there's always a demand. For producers, it's a safe bet.
India as a country is nepotistic. Be it politics, cinema, everything. We are the country that chose a single family to run the country for about 60 years. And we call India democracy.
Please do one choreographer adda.
It will be very interesting.🙂🙃
The question "How did Honey think of Saif for the role of Langada Tyagi? should have been asked.
Saif was casted by Vishal Bhardawaj himself.
@@kushanshah8040 WOW... Thanks for the info 👍🏻
@@rajanisunilkumar8270 yep. You should check out Saif Ali Khan's interview on FC itself where he described the process he went through. I think this interview happened on Omkara's anniversary.
Apparently, Vishal Bhardwaj wanted Aamir Khan but Mr Perfectionist wanted to make too many changes that VB ghosted him n chose Saif instead.
@@surabhikanth8043 Sure.. Thank you 🙏🏻
They are basically recruiters of film industry!
Jogi Sir ki Jai ho!
Amazing content.... Liked it really
Wish to see a casting director mention both the star kids and common man was being auditioned for the main lead irrespective of who nailed it, firstly to give a rest to the noise that is going on and secondly to see a new fresh actor like we have Senior Bacchana Sir.
Thank you for such a wonderful video :))
Great interview to watch , if possible please do a Production Designers Round table interview
Great work anupama mam, it was a great conversation providing much insight on casting!
I don’t understand why there is such a hot debate on nepotism, because most of the nepotism kids bleed money for the producers and go into oblivion. Only the good ones last as they become audiences favorite. The biggest recent example being the high budget movie “Genius” which was extremely rejected as a C grade movie.
Was waiitttting for this
Fantastic Video:)
Great initiative... very very helpful for every actor.
This was much awaited mam.
NEPOTISM part begins at - 43:52
any relation with the metaphysical poet?
@@rishirajmukherjee6894 Inspired from a line I remember from my school days - John Donne, Anne Donne, Undone.
Haven't read much of John Donne.
Lovely ❤️
Thank you♥️
Oh I didn't knew abhishek banerjee was a casting director
Thanks!
This is the 1st interview that I didn't like at all, by anupama. She didn't ask so many questions that she should have asked. I remember requesting a casting director forum discussion, but it was disappointing.
This is going to be interesting
Why are you so annoying 😑.
I can understand you wanted to be famous "RUclipsR"
Even if you don't know about cinema 🎥.
Wannabe critics 🙏
@@9846019800 thanks 👍
Great video 👍
Specially 49:30
The exams should also be there to become a casting director. If they would be there, tess joseph won't be here. So f rude she is. No actor should go to her
Abhishek Banerjee is the best in the lot 😃
Mam.. phle ka samay accha tha, jb hume apna kaam dikha k seedha ast director se kaam milta tha..
Ab casting directors ko khud ko cast krne se fursat ho tb too dusron ko mauka den..
Audition ka mauka tk nai dete ye..
Inke assistant ye Oscar wali performance apni agency k bahar kyu nai de paate??
Editors Adda please
How open are people or stars for audition even if they have worked???Would like to know that
Kareena auditioned for laal Singh Chaddha
@@saisresthdas1519 good to know
Do people go to theatre to watch film of unknown actor like masan, aankhon dekhi, mard ko dard ni hota, phas gye re obama, death in the gunj, laila majnu etc
@@datsrohan exactly. And the very same people will complain Abt the industry
@@saisresthdas1519 Sirf screen test tha audition nahi
Hello I'm Ashu !! I want to become an actor
Really very very nice interview the god of casting director in Hindi cinema 🙏😊
They gave such diplomatic answers except Abhishek on the nepotism question but they also need to do their job so..
Do people go to theatre to watch film of unknown actor like masan, aankhon dekhi, mard ko dard ni hota, phas gye re obama, death in the gunj, laila majnu etc ?
@@datsrohan no but there are a lot of actors who could have done a better job in films like neerja than Sonam Kapoor or In gully boy
@@shashankethane excuse me gully boy's casting was on point
@@shashankethane that's the point, masaan is better film than neerja and had better actors. How many people went to theatre and watched that film? Why will a producer then cast Richa Chaddha and not Sonam Kapoor when it's Sonam who is pulling in the audiences?
@@vaibhawsingh01 Sonam is pulling the audience lol
Do actors like Varun dhawan or alia bhat go through the same casting process as the other actors
No!. Writers/directors sometimes write films keeping stars in mind.
@tameimpala are you from iit roorkee
Alia Bhatt has nailed every role she has been given barring 2-3 flops. Many directors know whom they want to cast considering they know a certain actor personally or have seen their previous performances. One cannot always expect a director to cast fresh faces.
Can we get bollywood singer adda with male singers you have done with female, male should be fun, editors adda should also be done
Looks like this Tessy lady is giving the first interview of her life. She is very overexcited and interrupting everybody. LOL.
Varun Grover just being in all the videos
subtitles please?
👌👌👌👌👌👌😊
Thankyou आप सब बोहोत से सपनों को साकार रूप देने के लिए माध्यम बनते हैं:)
Please add captions
Well said 👌
#sandeepyadavfilms
Tess is too excited..:p
True
Inka sting karo sach samne aa jayega.. Apbe assistants ko salary ki jagah acting ka kaam dilwate hain..
Aaj yahan satsang sunane aa gaye
Comming Mumbai is not easy for middle class actors ...ist they have to struggle for job and accomodation ...how can they struggle for ouditions without having food and roof ...so that I want direct meeting with any casting director ....who is gona help me here ..?.I wish some one would help me here.
They all are liers.. Plz check ground reality someday visit their office or send any unknown person to thier ofc their true face will come forward
How come no Mukesh Chabbra?
Watch the video
@@thejack0037 ya just did 😅
Priyanshi was wrong casting in Extraction
Who created nepotism??? Its you..me ..us. Do we ever support new talents unknown faces ?? Have u ever went to cinema to watch unknown actors movie?? Why r we even complaining abt nepotism?
That's not audience's fault. Bollywood producers and distributors and exhibitors don't invest in talent and promoting outsiders. Recently saw Laila Majnu and Mukkabaaz on OTT. Lead actors did a fantastic job but unfortunately I didn't even know when it released. I never saw promos or marketing for those films anywhere!
@@nikitamohan3390 yah but promotions and marketing depends alot on the production house
Casting means .. starting the mile stone ..
Kayka casting?
Sab nepotism chalta hai
Koi achcha new talented actor ko Chance hi nai milta!
sure... be in denial all you want... all these people just sit here empty handed.... btw: siddhant chaturvedi, kaartik aaryan, rajkumar rao, vicky kaushal, ayushmann, but sure believe the trash you want
@@pallavisharma117 for these 6,7 names there can be 6 to 7 thousand or 60 to 70. Thousand..so statistically Ur point is limpid
@@rahultiwari-dx8qo there's not even 60-70,000 actors in the entire indian industry?? i'm listing stars for you. There's not more than 15 stars in bollywood, so that ratio shows that talented actors get enough and more work. not to mention webseries that have entirely outside talent
Hello
Why hv u deleted my comments.
♥️
Isn't the outsider bound to fail when the whole system is promoting and marketing the star kids movies however bad it is
But do you think if the producer incur losses, he/she will promote them? At the end of the day, money is above everything. However good terms they maybe on, if the producer cannot make money by casting so and so, (or atleast makes less money than by casting someone else), i dont think they will promote
@@upasanamukhopadhyay1746 even when the actors are the producers kid?
@@shashankethane will they lose money for them repetetively? Loss will be for their family only..no?
👍
@anupama ji inke office k darwaze ke bahar he likha hota hai ... Mail karo .. U dnt fit.. Kabhi sahi se baat tak karte nahi
Sharm bhi nahi aati inko
Naye actors ko apna nouker bana ker rakhte hain.. Warna unko kabhi kaam nahi milega
100th view :-D
Tessa 👌👌👌👌😍
Most corrupt people
All lies
Yaar kitna jhooth bolte ho thoda sharm to kar lia karo
Is Hindi diwas pe kehna chahunga ki interviews thode Hindi me bhi hone chaiye, like use of more Hinglish. Ye kuch doston ke bahalf pe kehna chah rahaa hoon jo ki fellow filmmakers, assistant directors ke taur pe kaam karte hai and they love this channel lekin kayi baari shikayat karte hain English languahe ki.."ki bhai aadha toh samajh me hee nahi aata".. #justsaying
Pimps of bollywood
Few pimps are here, few pims are not there!!
