Casting Director

Creator

Casting Directors are the architects of a film, series, or commercial's human landscape — translating a screenplay's character breakdowns into specific actors whose chemistry, physicality, and ability serve the director's vision. In India the profession crystallised around Bollywood's industrialisation in the 2000s, with Mukesh Chhabra Casting Company (MCCC) becoming the first branded casting house to receive above-the-title credit, and Honey Trehan, Nandini Shrikent, Tess Joseph, and Casting Bay building parallel businesses. OTT's arrival from 2016 onwards restructured the market: Netflix India, Prime Video India, and Disney+ Hotstar built in-house casting teams and commissioned independent CDs for 80+ originals per year, creating sustained demand for CDs who know non-star ensemble casting, regional-language talent pools, and first-time-actor discovery. A Casting Director's output is a confirmed, contracted cast — not suggestions. The role covers breakdown analysis, talent search and audition design, self-tape briefing, in-person auditions, chemistry reads, director-alignment sessions, and final contract negotiation in coordination with talent agents and production lawyers.
