Mustazibullah Shaikh

Mustazibullah Sheikh is one of India’s most prominent Casting Directors. He is known for his work in the Bollywood industry for talent recruitment and organization. Mustazibullah’s rapid climb to success in the field of cinema was fueled by his skill and ingenuity. His eye for raw talent and his ability to find the perfect fit for a designated role pushed him down the path of success. Mustazibullah arrived in Mumbai from the ‘Coal Capital of India,’ Dhanbad,

and within a short span of five years, he had acquired enough credibility and expertise to start his own Casting Company. ‘Mustazib Cast Machine’ or MCM, as it is known, is one of India’s premier companies that aim at fishing out talent and casting roles exclusively for Indian media. The cinema platform is thronged by many thousands of people coming from all over the country to feature on the silver screen.

It takes an exhaustive screening process and a comprehensive understanding of the entertainment industry to efficiently pick out those who can make it to the big leagues. While discussing the founding of his company, Mustazib talks about the issue of ‘Casting Couch’ plaguing the field of cinema. This degrading practice encumbers the whole process of recruiting the right skill and mucks the name of good filmography.

Young actors and actresses are often victims of this perverted practice, and he wanted to step up and put a stop to it. The enterprise was established in 2017, and within the period of a year, it had become a common name in casting for commercials, web-series, feature films, and music videos. Known fondly as ‘Mr. Cast Machine’ within film circles, his name has been associated with several productions such as ‘ Manmarziyaan Click to look into! >> Read More... ,’
