Abhishek also shared his thoughts on the harsh truth that influencers are often selected as actors just based on their instagram following.During the interview, abhishek said, “This is a reality I data-face as both a casting director and an actor. I have data-faced it recently. We need to break this habit. The problem is not influencers becoming actors. If you can act, come from anywhere and act. The problem is when you are deciding on casting a particular actor depending on their followers. You’ve seen the audition, andshortlisted three people out of the lot… then you say all are good but the second one is really good. But the third one has more followers, that’s a serious problem. It will trap us. By the time the industry will come to realize that this is wrong, it will be too late."
"One thumbnail will last how long? It might attract viewers to the first episode, but no one will invest nine hours into a web show solely because someone has followers. How many are buying the ticket? Shah Rukh Khan has about 45 million followers and many have more, but is there isn’t a bigger star than him? So these comparisons based on followers are rubbish,” he added.
