‘Not meant for a 9 to 5', Shruti Mahajan on her journey and the power of casting
Cinema had always tugged at her heart; it is still as endearing to her. Thanks, in part, to her mother, a self-proclaimed movie buff. Shruti Mahajan, now one of India's most respected casting directors, had never really planned to step into the filmy world. 'I sleepwalked through this journey,' Mahajan told TMS. 'I never thought I'd be part of the movie industry. I come from a conservative, middle-class family where education was everything. My father was an IAS officer, and there was no space for dreaming about films.' But she knew she wasn't cut out for a '9 to 5 gig'. Mahajan, along with actor Fatima Sana Shaikh, director Ashwini Iyer Tiwari, and filmmaker Neha Parti Matiyani, recently attended an event organised by the RPSG Media Group and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), in New Delhi. The programme was based on highlighting women's role in the Indian film industry. A graduate of Lady Shri Ram College, Mahajan worked in the corporate world before making the decision to quit it. 'I took a sabbatical to raise my daughter. But once she grew up a little, I realised I needed to become who I truly was.' That paved her way to Mumbai, where she started assisting casting director Shanoo Sharma at Yash Raj Films. The beginning Mahajan has not been to a film-school. Speaking of her early days in the industry, she pointed out how casting wasn't seen as a dedicated profession. 'There were just two or three names you could count on your fingers. There was no formal training, and it (casting) was only established on your instincts. So, you either have it or you don't.' Over the past decade, however, Mahajan has noticed a shift in how casting directors are perceived. With the rise of streaming platforms and a growing appetite for fresh stories, casting has become necessary to how stories are told. She explained that good casting, to her, 'means finding someone who brings life, layers, and honesty to the role.' She also stressed that casting decisions are increasingly bringing up a change in representation. 'From body types to regional and linguistic diversity, the industry is becoming more inclusive,' she remarked, referring to movies like Gangubai Kathiawadi and Laapataa Ladies, which she has also worked for. 'But we still have a long way to go. We continue to glorify toxic love and other themes not suitable for society.' However, the rising viewership for such content is also equally responsible for its popularity. Hence, the change has to come from the audience too, she expressed. Breaking the glass ceiling Mahajan's most recent project was, Heeramandi, in which she worked with popular Indian film director and screenwriter, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. 'It was the biggest high of my career,' she says. The movie casting, however, did not go as she had expected. 'Even though the women were ready to play side characters, the real challenge was casting the men,' she added. According to Mahajan, Bollywood is not free of patriarchy. 'Many male actors hesitate to be part of a female-led story,' she says. Other movies that Mahajan took up as a casting director are Padmaavat, Pad Man, and Parmanu: The Story of Pokhran. Mahajan remembers the first time when her parents saw her name on the big screen. 'They didn't always understand what I was doing. For them, it was like, 'Doesn't the director do the casting?' But when they saw 'Shruti Mahajan – Casting Director' in the credits, I knew they understood. That moment was everything.'

Son of Sardaar 2 Movie Review: Not Ajay Devgn or Mrunal Thakur, it is Ravi Kishan who makes a bogus and bonkers film bearable
'Son of Sardaar 2' is back with its ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and a posthumous appearance by the late Mukul Dev. But is the film worth watching? read more Cast: Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Kubbra Sait, Chunky Panday, Sharat Saxena, Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh and Sanjay Mishra Director: Vijay Kumar Arora Sometimes, I wonder why Bollywood makes such movies? We don't need star-studded films like Son of Sardaar 2. We need good stories and good craftsmen. Filmmakers need to understand that audiences have evolved, they know what is good cinema and what is bad cinema? They are literate enough to differentiate between the two. So, do not underestimate or take your audiences for granted dear Bollywood. And let me tell you nobody, literally nobody is star-struck. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A still from Son of Sardaar 2 You give us some good-looking faces, foreign destinations and some over age stars who don't even know what age-appropriate acting is and we will be happy? Is that what you think? Just forget it. Audiences today are way more intelligent than what you think them to be. They have got exposure to good cinema and they definitely know what you are feeding us is sheer garbage. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film is a sequel to Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Son of Sardaar which was supposedly a 2012 hit. But _Son of Sardaar 2_ is cringe, it's not even a comedy. It just shows a low sense of humour. While watching the film, I asked a well-known trade expert who was sitting right behind me as to why does Bollywood make movies like this? To which he said, 'to make us laugh.' Honestly, are sense of humour is way superior and this kind of distasteful movie, can never make us laugh. This film is just snore worthy. Ajay Devgn is in the titular role and this time he is paired with Mrunal Thakur. Looks like in Bollywood male actors refuse to age or even attempt to do age-appropriate movies. Wonder why Mrunal Thakur even agreed to sign in for this? The only actor's performance which was worth watching is Ravi Kisha. This actor truly knows his craft and makes even a badly written mindlessly scripted film watchable. But again, a man who has done such brilliant performances in the past like Kiran Rao's directorial film Laapataa Ladies and Netflix's Maamla Legal Hai, why did he even agree to be part of this project which has such a bogus storyline. Sorry to say the movie is entertaining only in some parts of it, otherwise it is just mindless. I totally hated the 'cringe-worthy' pairing of Ajay Devgn (56) and Mrunal Thakur (33). And Chunky Pandey, what were you even doing in this film? STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rating: 1 and half out of 5
