Pooja Hegde, one of the most celebrated actresses of Indian cinema, recently shared her take on auditions and revealed the reason behind giving auditions. She threw light on how filmmakers carry a certain perception about actors, and how female actors tend to get typecast easily. “Filmmakers have a certain perception about actors, especially female actors as we tend to get typecast easily. That’s why I feel it’s important to audition and showcase your traits that haven’t been explored yet. It's better to be in the running for a role than to be overlooked. Some of the biggest stars audition in the West, why not here?" shared Pooja Hegde.
