The News18 Showsha Reel Awards are back, and it’s only bigger this time! They say you can’t make a successful film or a show without a great crew.
The recipe of a hit show starts from the basics – the casting. This year, we have introduced a new category – ‘Best Casting Director’ on OTT – and will honour those who identify raw talent and fit them into characters like pieces to a puzzle. Ahead of the main event on March 20 in Mumbai , here are the nominees for the category: Shruti Mahajan: She is a seasoned casting director known for her impeccable talent-spotting skills.
Mahajan has worked on some of Bollywood’s biggest films. She was associated with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series Heeramandi, a grand period drama set against the backdrop of pre-independence India. Mukesh Chhabra: Chhabra is one of the most popular casting directors in the industry.
With his sharp eye for talent, he handled the casting of two of OTT’s most popular projects last year, Tanaav 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny. Atul Parab: If you loved Panchayat 3 and its cast, know that Parab had a huge role to play in it. His casting choices played a crucial role in making the series an all-time fan-favourite.
Kashish Arora: He curated the ensemble cast of Prime Video’s critically-acclaimed series, B.
