MUMBAI: The entertainment world is one such industry where a lot of people aspire to create names for themselves.
There are several fields in this showbiz world where people try their luck.
While some love to be in front of the camera, some love to be behind the camera.
Out of all this, one important aspect of any project - be it film, TV, web show, or music video - is the role of a casting director.
This is one such profession that is gaining prominence these days.
Earlier, no one really knew anything about casting directors and how they operate.
But with the rise in social media and other technologies, things in the entertainment industry have started to function in a different way.
A casting director is the backbone of every project without which things can't be taken further.
There are several casting directors who have made their mark in the industry and are doing well for themselves.
They are the ones who have given us some of the most talented actors and actresses who are today big names.
