Adhyayan Suman shares casting director made him feel like a “dog”; says, “If you deny them, you are hurting their fragile ego”

Adhyayan Suman, son of Shekhar Suman, who acted in movies such as Raaz – The Mystery Continues, Heartless, and Himmatwala during the early stages of his career, understood that being the son of a popular actor Shekhar Suman didn't ensure him any roles in films. He disclosed in a recent interview that casting directors used to treat him badly and he felt like a submissive creature that was trying not to offend their egos.

Adhyayan told Hindutan Times, “People used to tell me ‘Arrey jaa na, party kar na industry ke logon ke saath, mix around with them’.(Go and party with industry people) But my question is, mere party karne se kaam kaise mil jayega?,” (how will I get work by partying?).”

He further added, “Sirf party karne se kaam nahi milta hai. Also, you can’t just go and party with them (established names in the industry) . If you are a nobody and haven’t done something big yet, they are not going to invite you ki, ‘Aaja party karte hain’ (Come Let’s party). Either you need to be very successful or be a childhood friend of a star kid to chill around them.”

Talking about how social media has made it more difficult, Adhyayan said, “Things depend on how popular you are on Instagram. But what has Instagram popularity going to do with how you are as an actor? You need to have a certain sense of the craft to be an actor, isn’t it? But here, you are being compared to people with 1 million followers. And aapke utne followers nahi hain toh aap ko cast nahi karenge. It has become ridiculous.”

Adhyayan also how the casting directors behaved with him. He said, “I’ve had casting directors calling me at 2am and saying, ‘Abhi aaja uthkar’. They woke me up at odd times, asked me ki abhi aaja party karne raat ko, and I’ve gone to such parties. I was desperate for work. But after a few times, I felt like a dog. Usne abhi bola uth jaao, phir bola baith jaao. (They have said get up, then said sit down).” He added that couldn’t deny “because if you deny them, you are hurting their fragile egos.”

Adhyayan Suman made his Bollywood debut in 2008 with the film Haal-e-Dil. He later appeared in several other films such as Raaz: The Mystery Continues among others.
