We have worked on a number of Advertisements and Web Series with Amazon, Netflix, Hotstar and few others. The one that has been released is ‘Jamtara’ on Netflix, directed by Soumendra Paadhi. Our approach is to work on each project on a new leaf and find actors in and outside the data. In Jamtara, our primary cast are people from different parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and in our next show ‘Murder in Mahim’, we got to cast actors and some non- actors from Dharavi (slums in Mumbai) after an extensive workshop with the director. Our idea of casting is very clear. We use our years of experience and accumulated data but we don’t let it limit us in looking for new avenues and places to search for the right people.
