'There is no bad blood,' says Casting director Shanoo Sharma as Ranveer Singh exits YRF
Shanoo Sharma says 'No bad blood' between YRF and Ranveer Singh
Shanoo revealed that the management isn't hurt by his decision. 'It didn't hurt that he left. He's going ahead with his life, I wish him all the best. There's a reason why he must be going, there's a reason why the production house is okay with him going,' the casting director said.
Shanoo Sharma further added that things work and fade away, and that is the nature of the business. She said, 'I feel things work, and then they fade, and then they start to work again, and the cycle goes on.'
She clarified that there is no bitterness between YRF and Ranveer Singh. 'He's my best friend as well, so there's nothing difficult on that front,' Shanoo concluded.
Ranveer Singh exited YRF Talent agency in 2022
For the unversed, Ranveer Singh amicably exited YRF's Talent management agency and found a new home at Collective Artists Network in 2022, who also manage Deepika Padukone's account.
On the work front, Ranveer Singh worked in multiple YRF movies- Band Baaja Baaraat, Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, Befikre, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar. He was last seen in the Rohit Shetty-directed Singham Again while doing an extended cameo role. Ranveer Singh's next is Dhurandhar, helmed by Aditya Dhar. The spy action thriller is set to hit the big screens on December 5th, 2025.
Talking about Shanoo, she is currently on cloud 9 as her latest bet on Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda worked miraculously for the banner. Their debut movie, Saiyaara, stormed past the Rs 500 crore gross at the global box office recently.

Abhinav Shukla recalls what YRF casting director Shanoo Sharma told him: 'You are good looking but...'
Popular television actor Abhinav Shukla recalled an audition during his early days in the film industry, which left a huge impact on him. He took to the stories section of his Instagram handle and revealed that back in 2014, when his film 'Roar' was about to release, he met with Yash Raj Films' prominent casting director Shanoo Sharma, who told him that while he was good looking, he lacked 'spark.' He described the entire incident via a note that read: 'When my movie Roar was slated to release back in the day i was cajoled by my well-wishers to go meet Yash Raj Films 's casting director. I did and she told me: 'You are a good looking guy but that's it, spark is missing, you can audition but…(sic)'' However, years later, Abhinav had a very different conversation with the renowned filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He shared that he was auditioning for Bhansali's ambitious project 'Inshallah', which ultimately got shelved, but his conversation with the filmmaker stayed with him. 'Few years down the line i was sitting face to face with Sanjay Leela Bhansali Sir for his next Inshaallah. I remember SLB was all praise, all appreciative and asked me many times 'How come you haven't worked so much? I saw the audition, you are super talented. The movie got shelved, my destiny took a turn!' Abhinav added. Tagging 'Mirzapur' fame actress Isha Talwar, he penned, 'I can relate, and i think insults are an opportunity to meet the people who value your talent & time!,' Recently, Isha disclosed that she was once asked to cry during an audition taking place in the middle of a restaurant. Finding the request bizarre, she decided to walk away from the audition; however, admittedly, the incident managed to jolt her confidence.
