The budgets of Bollywood films have increased considerably, and so have the losses. With the attention span of audience decreasing, and streaming sites like Amazon and Netflix exposing people to quality cinema from around the world, filmmakers can no longer push a weak product across. This means that every department has to be spot on including the casting department. One wrong casting and your whole film can go for a toss.
Casting Agencies Have Finally Got the Respect They Deserved
While the concept of casting agencies was always prevalent in Hollywood, it took many years for the same to arrive in Bollywood. In fact, for decades casting in Bollywood remained a personal affair, with artists selected on the basis of their relationship with the director or the lead star. Before the 2010s getting a good role had more to do with your relationship with the director than your talent. Thankfully, the trend is now changing. All leading production houses now want every small role to be well auditioned for. Even for a small 30 seconds role, auditions can sometimes last for a week.
In fact top stars like Ranveer Singh vouch for casting agencies’ vision and talent. Remember, the actor was himself casted for Band Baaja Baraat by the famous casting director Shanoo Sharma. Filmmakers have finally understood the importance of selecting the right artist for the right job.

4) Actors Apply is fraud
We strongly not suggest the ActorsApply for your acting career. This organisation has not any good reputation in the film industry for now. Multiple payment options are there but usually this organization takes the fake auditions on there own office space and not to having value of the actors time, respect t and value. We do not suggest to get register here unless it has a huge space in social media marketing.
