Talking about casting for ‘Delhi Crime’, he mentioned, “The most difficult part for me was recreating such a horrible and disturbing incident. The process was not easy. The actors had to look real and out-of-the-box and that is the reason the show worked and everyone looked so real. Credit also goes to Richie Mehta the way he handled. “
When asked if casting directors are getting the recognition now, he said, “It all started with ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and now because of the digital world when people get to see so many actors, they get to know who has cast these actors. Because of the digital world, recognition is more and I am very happy that all my other casting directors and colleagues are also doing so well and great work. “
Chhabra also said that today, there are no small or big actors as every actor plays an important role in a show. “In todays time, directors don’t tell us to cast the lead, they tell us ‘this is the show, create the magic’. Every actor is important. Whether you see the series ‘Scam 1992’, ‘Sacred Games’, ‘Delhi Crime’, ‘The Family Man’, every show we have done, we have never thought of getting some big or known star. Whoever is right like Pratik Gandhi was a new guy and he did the lead in ‘Scam’. Gone are the days when we said this is the lead cast. Now, there is no such as lead or supporting actors as every single actor is important because they all make the show together, ” mentioned Chhabra.
