Seasoned actor and casting director Abhishek Banerjee, who had a dual release this Independence Day with ‘Stree 2’ and ‘Vedaa’, recalled the time Karan Johar`s Dharma Productions fired him for casting Anurag Kashyap-type actors. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, he shared what went down.
Abhishek said, "We were removed from Agneepath. We were doing the casting for Agneepath, but then Jogi Bhai came in. Why were we removed? Because they didn’t like the casting. Karan Sir didn’t like it. We were bringing in actors who were more like Anurag Kashyap’s style, which they didn’t like. So, they said, ‘Get out of our film!’ We thought our careers were ruined, finished! We were out of Dharma Productions, and it was over! But thankfully, we were saved."
