Скачать или смотреть Romil Modi: From A Florist to Cannes, India's Game Changing Casting Director I The Real Story

In this special episode, I sit down with my dear friend Romil, a casting director whose extraordinary journey is nothing short of inspiring. As friends who’ve seen each other grow over the past decade, this is more than just a professional exchange. From struggling as a florist in Mumbai to becoming India’s first casting director at Cannes, Romil’s story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of following your instincts.

If you've ever doubted your path, faced rejection, or questioned your talent, this conversation is for you.

Romil’s life began in a small town in Jabalpur, where financial struggles forced him to drop out of school after the 12th grade. With no education, no connections, and no English-speaking skills, he took a leap of faith and moved to Mumbai.

His early days in the city were tough, working as a florist with no pay, surviving on one meal a day, and battling uncertainty. But just when it seemed like life had no plan, the universe opened a door.

From delivering flowers on Ekta Kapoor's sets to casting for Cannes-winning films, Romil’s journey is a story of grit, resilience, and destiny.

In this heartfelt, lighthearted yet deeply insightful conversation, we discuss:
Why rejections in the acting world are never personal
The secret to giving unforgettable auditions
Why great actors don’t just “perform”, they reveal
How insecurity and desperation impact auditions
The emotional toll of self-doubt, and how to survive it
Why patience, maturity, and resilience are crucial for success
How actors can thrive without social media fame
How Romil’s instinctive casting style created magic in Laapata Ladies and All We Imagine As Light
Why actors altering their faces are limiting their chances

Romil’s approach to casting is refreshingly real and raw, he believes in finding authentic talent, creating a safe space for actors to shine, and reminding every artist that rejection doesn’t define you, resilience does.

For anyone navigating the unpredictable world of acting, or any dream for that matter, this episode is a must-watch.
Watch now and discover why sometimes, life's detours lead to the most extraordinary destinations.
