*LONDON – A UK casting agency, LB Casting, has just put out a call toaudition men between the ages of 40 and 60 years, of Pakistani background,for a Bollywood film.*
The casting agency’s advert appeared on the specialized websiteBackstage.comlink.The film’s title was not revealed but we do know that it will be shootingin West Yorkshire this month.
“The character is a wealthy businessman from a rich background and the roleincludes dialogue, so you’ll need to be able to speak fluent Hindi,” saidthe agency.
Perhaps it should have mentioned Urdu if it wanted someone from a Pakistanibackground. Odd that they specified Pakistani. Perhaps Pakistani men lookmore “businessman-like”?
