Casting directors like Mukesh Chhabra are game-changers in an industry that is known for nepotism and godfathers.
Gems like Mukesh help find the right talent, nurture them for the roles, and create stars overnight. It is the art of finding the right fit for the right character.
Here are some movies that are known for their stellar cast by the Casting Guru, Mukesh Chhabra.
1) ANEK
This movie was a social drama starring Ayushmann Khurana and Andrea Kevichusa directed by Anubhav Sinha. The epic casting of Andrea Kevichusa is what makes this project stand out. It is rare for talent from the North East of our beautiful country to be given a platform and that is what Mukesh Chhabra did with this one! The ace reviews and the perfect fit for the cast were the talking point of this film
2) 83
Not an easy task casting one actor and imagining doing it with eleven. This was the case for the Ranveer Singh starrer 83, which required the cast to be composed of an entire cricket team and coaches and supporting actors. Not many are aware that singer-turned-actor Hardy Sandhu was once an Indian cricketer as an under-19 pacer, taking advantage of his career and having been coached by Madan Lal at NCB camp before as he was a pacer too Mukesh Chhabra suggested his name for Madan Lal’s role. Hardy Sandhu did justice to the role he was assigned through his hard work and dedication to his work. This has also turned out to be the biggest breakthrough for Hardy in Bollywood.
