Mukesh Chhabra wants to cast reality TV show girl

Popular casting director Mukesh Chhabra says he wants to cast children's reality TV show "Sabse Bada Kalakar" contestant Mahi Soni in his future venture.

Chhabra, who has given a Bollywood break to actors like Rajkummar Rao and Sushant Singh Rajput, noticed five-year-old Mahi when he became part of the Sony Entertainment Television show for an episode. He was accompanied by child actor Harshaali Malhotra of "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" fame.

"It was a day well spent at 'Sabse Bada Kalakar'. It's a treat to watch such young kids perform so brilliantly and with so much conviction. A great effort by Sony Entertainment Television to put up such a good show," Chhabra said in a statement.

He added: "The talent is outstanding and I hope to cast Mahi Soni in my future venture as she is an amazing actor and can do justice to a performance at such a young age. On a lookout for a good role for her."
