FC-Ormax Power List of Technicians 2024: Mukesh Chhabra

The Indian entertainment industry often tends to capitalise on the latest "it" personality, saturating the market with their presence and squeezing every bit of fame they have. However, casting director Mukesh Chhabra takes a different approach. In various interviews, Chhabra has emphasised his commitment to unconventional casting and avoiding the easy route. This dedication is evident in his choices, from discovering Gagan Dev Riar to play Abdul Karim Telgi in Scam 2003: The Telgi Story and to orchestrating Harman Baweja's comeback in Scoop. Chhabra’s intuition for casting the “perfect fit” and creating opportunities for talented actors is not only impressive but also commendable.
