Amit Thakkar
Amit Thakkar’s not just another name floating around Bollywood—he’s the guy who’s been quietly shaking up the casting scene for ages. The dude spent a solid two years digging deep into the nitty-gritty of acting, training with none other than Anupam Kher. We’re talking serious dedication, not just a weekend workshop. Now? He’s out there teaching his own Acting Modeling Drama Course. The man’s practically a one-man army, or maybe more like a casting SWAT team.
Back in 2008, Amit launched his own company, and honestly, it just took off. No slow burn. It’s wild how fast he managed to build a reputation—now his company’s dealing with clients from all over the globe. Fifteen years down the line, he’s got a hefty list of credits: over 25 Gujarati and Hindi movies, more than 10 web series, a TV serial tossed in for good measure, plus a ridiculous number of fashion shows, dance contests, and commercials. This isn’t some side hustle—he’s everywhere.
And get this, he didn’t stop at casting. Amit’s been dabbling in production, too. He’s produced a handful of short films like "Heroine," "Kitty Party," and "Virodh," all floating around on YouTube if you’re curious. The guy’s a total workhorse, balancing casting, teaching, and producing without breaking a sweat. If you’re wondering who’s connecting the dots behind the scenes in the Hindi film world, it’s probably Amit.
