Dinesh Soi

Arguably one of the most underplayed role in film making would be that of a casting director but not many know it’s perfect casting that actually brings a film together. Ever wondered what would Chak De! India look like if it wasn’t for Shah Rukh Khan playing Kabir Khan or what would Kuch Kuch Hota Hai look like if Twinkle Khanna had done Rani Mukerjee’s part Tina, as Karan Johar so rightly wanted? Weird right? It’s all the magic of casting that brings the right people in the right role.

And while the Hindi cinema buffs might only know of Mukesh Chhabra for casting, there’s another man who’s done some brilliant job at getting the right people for the right roles and that’s Casting Director Dinesh Sudarshan Soi.

Having done casting in more than 200 films (Bollywood, Pollywood, Marathi & South), Dinesh Soi just completed producer Pradeep Rangwani’s Red Affair as a project whose casting comprises of Arbaaz Khan, Manjari Fadnis, Ashmit Patel, Maheck Chahal, Mukul Dev and many other noticeable characters.

Hailing from the solid educational background, Dinesh owes his journey in film industry to destiny. “I was an academically inclined man and as cliched as it may sound, films happened luck by chance,” says Dinesh who’s journey from Mohali to Mumbai happened incidentally & interestingly.

Being academically ACCA (I) UK, M.Com from Panjab University, and MBA in Marketing from Symbiosis Pune, he was a Professor at Mohali, Punjab. He casually participated in Mr. North India contest in 2007 and won it, followed by a number of good assignments. Being crazy for movies since his childhood, opportunity had started knocking his door now.

Lights, Camera & Action had always attracted him, he took a call and moved to Mumbai in 2008. Once a Professor, switched on to actor and played the role of Jugnu in Star Plus’ popular show Mann Ki Aawaz Pratigya. But soon realizing that he could achieve much more by becoming a Casting Director, formed his own Casting Company at a very young age.

WHEN RONIT ROY GOT A CHANCE TO INDULGE HIS PHOTOGRAPHY OBSESSION ON ‘SARKAR 3’ SETS!

Ronit Roy who will be seen in SARKAR 3, sharing screen space with Amitabh Bachchan for the 1st time, got to unleash his inner mobile photographer on the sets we hear! The actor apparently loves clicking candid pictures of his co – stars, and spent much of his free time between shots clicking unusual pictures of Amitabh Bachchan, Amit Sadh and more, from all sorts of angles! As seen in these quirky on the set images, Ronit took many clicks on his unsuspecting co – stars on his personal phone and also indulged in a selfie with Mr Bachchan himself! Says Ronit, “I was very taken in by the set design which transported me to an era gone by. It was quite surreal. Add to that the presence of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan in deep thought. It was quite magical so i wanted to capture those moments for myself to remind me of this when my memory starts failing me!” Well with such a stellar ensemble cast coming together for a most popular franchise, no wonder the actors want to record each & every moment of it!!

WHY DARSHAN KUMAAR HAD TO MEET A PSYCHOLOGIST.

Not all love stories are simple, and MIRZA JUULIET, certainly isn’t. In fact, lead actor Darshan Kumaar recently admitted that he needed to speak to a psychologist to get into the mind of his character. When we asked Darshan about his Mirza, he stated, “Mirza is a complex character, he has been through a lot very early in life. He has spent his earlier years of life serving jail term for avenging his parents death, he has killed since but he yearns to live a normal life. For someone like me, it was very difficult to understand how could someone with such a tainted past live a normal life. I actually met a psychologist friend of mind to get my head around the character.”“For me, it doesn’t matter if I am merely standing in the frame, I need to be in character, I need to become the character. I have to give it my all. And for someone like Mirza, I owed it to him to do justice to his character.” The film stars
Darshan Kumaar, Pia Bajpai, Chandan Roy Sanyal & Priyanshu Chatterjee alongside Swanand Kirkire. Directed by Rajesh Ram Singh, the film releases on 7th Apr, 2017.
