Visualizzatore Storie Instagram

Some projects feel special even before the world sees them.
Watching the teaser of Glory finally out in the world is one of those moments.
This one is particularly close to my heartnot just because of the scale or we worked on it or promise the teaser holds, but because of the people behind it. My brother @krnx has always been a storyteller with a clear voice and vision, and seeing him bring this world to life with such conviction is deeply inspiring.

It also marks an important milestone for his production house@atomicfilmsin as its first solo release. A big congratulations to Mohit Shah the series producer and Karan’s partner at Atomic Films, for helping build and steer this journey.And a very special mention to @anuradhasharma , the backbone of Atomic Films, whose constant support and strength quietly holds everything together behind the scenes.
The series is directed by Karan Anshuman and @kanishk.varma , created by @karmanya_66 and Karan together , with arifmir and @nishant_pandey0612 as Executive Producers.
Beautifully shot by @johnschmidt13 with production design by @sonamsingh and @abhijeet.gaonkar , edited by Manan Mehta and Maahir Zaveri, music by John Stewart Eduri, sound design by Vivek Sachidanand, and costume design by Theia Tekchandaney
They all coming together to shape the world and texture of the series.

A fantastic ensemble bringing this world alive:

Please note: This email ID is not for sending actor profiles, photos or videos

Some projects ask you to cast actors.
Some ask you to find faces.
And sometimes you’re trusted to find memories.
This film needed us to go beyond performance where we had to discover young echoes of our cricket heroes and let their stories feel lived and not recreated. A month long of searching across country, watching, rejecting, doubting and finally recognising.
When Garvit ,the boy playing young @virat.kohli started getting love from everywhereand from the man himself , we quietly sat in our officesmiling. That’s usually how casting victories feel… silent for us, loud for the world.
Grateful to @abhinayrameshdeo for the trust and the patience this required.
Thank you @gorgeousneeta , @atulrjoshi and @umeshmshinde092 ,the producers at @rameshdeoprod for always believing in us and giving us opportunities that challenge and excite us.
This one belongs equally to the team that chased it every day:
Anmol Ahuja
Shubham Sharma
Karan Mishra
Shakti Singh Rajput
Rishabh Thakur
Chirag Balani
Sometimes the biggest applause is hearing people say “yeh bilkul waise hi lag raha hai.”

We’re casting female actor (20–25 yrs) for ayouth-driven ad film rooted in K-pop energy and contemporary choreography
We’re looking for someonewho feels effortless on camera ,expressive, confident and emotionally open.
Dance should feel natural, playful and fluid rather than technical or stagey.
This film needs a performer who can:
Carry movement + emotion together
Feel modern, relatable and aspirational
Transition seamlessly from rehearsal energy to screen presence
Pan-India
An Ad film for the brand to launch its new face

Please share dance reels / performance clips along with your profile.

We don’t chase trends.
We chase honesty.
Casting Bay stands for rigorous process,

At age six or seven, Baby Naaz from the 1950s was her family's sole earning member, having been pushed by her mother into films. She was taken to the studios daily, where her mother coaxed producers and directors to give her a chance.

Daisy Irani was famously quoted in a major publication as saying, “Honey and I had no childhood, no education. We didn’t go to school. We were pushed into acting by our parents. By the time we grew aware of our predicament, our childhood was gone. We made a lot of money, but got none of it. Our mother blew it all up, but no regrets.”

Actress Sarika’s mother created two identities for her as a child: one female, Baby Sarika, and one male, Master Suraj, to cater to the market for both male and female child performers; she hardly sent Sarika to school—a practice which left the young actress virtually illiterate at age eleven. Her mother also controlled her finances, even when she came of age and was physically abusive both on and off-set, even physically assaulting her daughter in front of fans.

A new book, Behind the Big Screen: The Untold Stories of Bollywood’s Child Actors by Sunanda Mehta and Suchitra Iyer attempts to trace child actors who were popular in the 70s and 80s, but seemed to have faded into oblivion as they reached their teens and adulthood. The intention is not just to find out what they are doing now, but also to figure out how they handled their fame at such a young age and, more importantly, its abrupt departure once they entered adolescence.

Dilip Ghosh’s documentary, Children of the Silver Screen (1990) contains several such accounts of gruelling exploitation of child performers by film studios and ambitious parents.

Every film finds its own heartbeat.
This one for Dabur, directed by the one and only@shekharkamble and produced by @sahil.jadeja & @noopsybot at @dreampunkfilms , reminded us that honesty in storytelling always shines through.

It’s rare to find collaborators who value casting not just as a process, but as an emotionand with Shekhar sir, it always feels like a shared vision.

Immense gratitude to him and the Dream Punk team for the continued faith and to my casting team led by@act_shubhi whose eye, commitment, and calm make every project stronger.
Thank you @wankhede_shubham @imkaranmishra @theshaktisinghrajput @harshittsahni @arihantjain_8 for bringing your instinct and integrity to the table, every single time.

Some stories come to you as assignments.
And then stay with you long after the work is done.

Baramulla is one such film ,a story that carries the weight of truth, loss, courage, and the complex beauty of Kashmir and its people.

Casting for this film wasn’t just about finding faces
It was about finding lived-in emotions, silences, and small gestures that could hold the weight of the world this story inhabits. Every character, every face had to feel real as if they’ve walked these lanes, breathed this air, carried this history.

Immensely grateful to @adityadharfilmsand @dhar_lokesh for their trust, sensitivity, and unwavering belief in telling stories that go beyond spectacle
Stories that honour both the soil and the soul.
Collaborations like these remind us why we do what we do

@adityasuhasjambhale you are an honest storyteller and it was a delight to work with you and special mention to my buddy @aarshvorawho made the whole process enjoyable

Thank you @b62studios can’t wait to see the film
