We can't cast fair and handsome people with Nawaz: Babumoshai casting director

Mumbai: ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’ casting director reveals about the casting of the actors.

The trailer of ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’ that was recently released is receiving great response from all around.

The film features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bengali actress Bidita Bag in the lead role along with Divya Dutta, Murli Sharma and many more in pivotal roles.

When contacted the casting director of the film, Sanjay Chouhan, he shared how every actor was selected for its role.

"Nawaz was on the project even before its inception. Later Chitrangada Singh who was roped in opposite Nawaz left the project abruptly. So we had to again hunt for the leading lady," says Sanjay.

"Keeping Nawaz in mind, all other characters were taken on board. We can't cast fair and handsome people with Nawaz. It would look so weird. You have to take people with distinct features and personalities when pairing them with him."

Directed by Kushan Nandy, the film is produced by Kiran Shyam Shroff and Ashmith Kunder.
