Dear Aspiring and Current Actors,
Please take note of the following:
1. Casting Hours: I do not conduct castings between 12 AM and 5 AM. I work strictly between 11 AM till 5 PM.
2. Audition Queries: Please do not ask me when you can audition, whether you are fit for the role, how to become an actor, or request a chance because you're facing difficulties. Avoid the typical complaints and unnecessary drama.
3. Contacting for Auditions: Reach out to me only if you are available to attend auditions when called.
4. Inappropriate Media: Please do not send me your Instagram reels, TikTok videos, or selfies taken at shopping malls, Domino’s, CCD, etc.
5 Teenage Actors: If you know your family will never allow you to work in the film or television industry, please do not contact me and waste both our time.
6. Non-serious Individuals: If you are the type who says, “I’ll definitely come one day” but never does, stay where you are. Perhaps you should join a call center instead.
7. Casting Director, Not a Guide: I am a casting director, not a tourist guide or hospitality manager. Your accommodation, food, and sightseeing in Mumbai are not my responsibility.
8. Out-of-Town Artists: If you're in Mumbai, busy uploading photos of beaches and cafes but can't find the time to meet for work, please delete my contact. I'm not here to listen to excuses about your personal struggles.
9. Payment Issues: To those who haven’t been paid on time by us or other projects: If you weren’t paid on time by a production house, reach out to their accounts department or the coordinator who deserves their rightful 10-15% commission, which you likely haven’t paid yet, making them hold your payment.
10. Teenage Actors Looking for Fun: If you think skipping college to attend auditions with friends is a fun activity, I request you to visit Juhu, Casta Coffee, or Infinity instead. We don’t need you here.
11. Instant Success Seekers: If you expect to finalize work immediately upon arriving in Mumbai, understand that real actors struggle for years before they land roles. You are no exception.
12. Work Before Arrival: For those who say, "Finalize the job for me, then I'll come to Mumbai," please note: Work does not come to you while you're sitting at home. You need to be here and actively seek it.
Please, be practical and logical in your approach. I trust you all understand.
Best regards,
Jiten Bhatt
