00:00We need to get a video call.
00:02We need to get a saree.
00:03Didn't you tell me about Okesh Kanagiraja?
00:05But if we need a lot of kids, we can get stuck in this.
00:07How do we know that this person is not doing any other fraud?
00:09Like this, a casting call came from Bombay for a web series.
00:13Parody, 1 lakh salary.
00:15Then we have to take an artist card.
00:17We have to send 50,000 rupees.
00:18Then we have to borrow 50,000 rupees from a friend.
00:20Because if we get a salary of 1 lakh per day, there is no problem.
00:23Then there is no phone calls.
00:25If you call there, the phone will switch off.
00:27Otherwise, there is no money to live.
00:29Then do they have money to send?
00:31She speaks so decently.
00:33When she came on the screen, she didn't even smile.
00:36For my fame, I am lying.
00:39Someone has commented below the interview.
00:42Even though she is Rajinikanth's wife.
00:44Even though she should be a wife.
00:47Some information shared by Shaini sir related to the casting call scam is now coming as news.
00:54Namaskaram sister.
00:55Namaskaram.
00:56There has been a casting call scam related to Jailor 2.
01:01How did it start?
01:03I apply for all the castings I see.
01:08Whether it is my age group or not.
01:11I send a casting call for a movie.
01:14Some respond, some don't.
01:16I don't remember if I have applied for Jailor 2.
01:20I don't remember.
01:21They replied, you have applied through Piyush Casting Agency.
01:26I even received a message on WhatsApp.
01:29They gave all the details of Jailor 2.
01:34There are shooting dates.
01:36There is my salary.
01:38Do you have a passport?
01:40When I responded, they asked if I have a passport.
01:42The shoot is in Malaysia and Tamil Nadu.
01:46Initially, they casted me in the age group of 16-40.
01:51They asked me if I have an artist card.
01:55I said I don't need an artist card here.
01:57I am a member of Amma Association.
01:59I will get a membership only if I need it.
02:01I am not compulsory.
02:02They said, our sir Suresh Kumar will call me tomorrow at 11.30.
02:07I let it go.
02:09I didn't call the next day.
02:11I thought they dropped me because my age category was not okay.
02:15I didn't call the next day.
02:17I asked if I have an apt role.
02:19I got a message.
02:20They said, our sir was busy.
02:22He will call you tomorrow.
02:24It was Sunday.
02:26I didn't call at 11.30.
02:29It was 1.30.
02:30I had a function at 1.30.
02:32I went there.
02:33Suresh Kumar himself called me.
02:36He said, ma'am, I got your application.
02:39When I saw it, I thought I should come in a video call.
02:44I should come in a saree.
02:46I am going to cast in Rajinikanth's wife's role.
02:50I shot it in Malaysia.
02:53I repeated the same things.
02:55I got a salary of Rs. 1.5 lakhs.
02:57The character's name is Bhani.
02:59He is a retired IPS officer.
03:03I said, Jailor 1 is Ramya Krishnan.
03:06He said, the story of Jailor 1 and Jailor 2 is entirely different.
03:09Only the name is different.
03:11Only Rajinikanth is different.
03:12Everyone else is different.
03:14I came here.
03:15I changed my dress.
03:16I called him for a video call.
03:18He came.
03:19He spoke very decently.
03:21He said, when you come for the shoot, you should have a guardian with you.
03:26All female actors need a guardian.
03:30We trusted him.
03:32He said, send me an email.
03:36If we confirm you, we will send you an email.
03:39You should reply to that.
03:41I asked him if he had an artist card.
03:42He said, no.
03:43He said, if you give me Rs. 12,650, we will get the card.
03:47If you are confirmed, are you ready to take the card today?
03:51I said, yes.
03:52If I am confirmed, I will definitely take it.
03:54He spoke to the team and sent me an email.
03:58I hung up the phone.
04:00That was my first doubt.
04:03If you want to confirm, it is not enough if he does not confirm.
04:07It is Rajinikanth's film.
04:08Rajinikanth should know.
04:10The director told me that it was Lokesh Kanagaraj.
04:13Actually, it was Nelson who did it first.
04:15I thought, ultimately Rajinikanth is the one who decides all this.
04:19I decided that Lokesh Kanagaraj should do the second part.
04:22He might be looking for a new person.
04:24When I discuss this with my friends, they say this.
04:27I tell them to consider me in the role of Nayanthara and Manjuwara.
04:31They say, you cannot say that.
04:33What will happen when Lokesh Kanagaraj comes?
04:35Don't say that.
04:36We will see.
04:37We will see how he responds.
04:39He sent me an email.
04:41Confirmed.
04:42You have been selected.
04:44The details of the role.
04:45It was a very professional email.
04:47I had a doubt.
04:49I was talking to my friends.
04:51He asked me to see the next step.
04:54He is calling me.
04:56You got the email, right?
04:57I said, yes.
04:58Why didn't you respond?
04:59I said, okay.
05:00He is calling me again.
05:02You have been confirmed.
05:04I was talking to him with a doubt.
05:07He said, you have to take the card today.
05:10The shoot will start soon.
05:12The card will be ready in 20 minutes.
05:14I will send you Rs.12,500.
05:16I will send you a QR code.
05:18You can send it.
05:19I said, okay.
05:22I asked him if he could give me two days.
05:26He said, why two days?
05:28To arrange the money.
05:29You said that you are ready to take the card after the confirmation.
05:35I asked my husband why he didn't have that much money.
05:40He said, it's okay.
05:41You can send the money you have.
05:42You can send the rest tomorrow.
05:44I said, let's do one thing.
05:48I am a friend of Lokesh Karnarajan's assistant.
05:51I will contact him and get back to you.
05:54I have a friend named Sethu.
05:57He is from Tamil Nadu.
05:59He did a film called Myna.
06:01He told me to say this.
06:03He asked me to cut the call.
06:05He asked me to take a complete screenshot.
06:07I took a complete screenshot.
06:09I sent it to Mala Parvati.
06:11I contacted all of them.
06:13I don't know if they have the artist card.
06:16I didn't get it when I called them first.
06:18I responded later.
06:19They said that they don't have the artist card.
06:21It's a mistake.
06:22Send the number and screenshots.
06:24I sent it.
06:25I sent it to Sethu.
06:27When they searched there,
06:29they said that the casting is not happening.
06:32I sent the details to Sethu.
06:35Sethu said that there is a head named Thenappan.
06:39I think he is an actor.
06:41Mala Parvati told me that name.
06:43When they searched for him,
06:45they said that the casting is not happening.
06:47The shoot has already started.
06:49They said that the shoot started yesterday.
06:51It's a fraud.
06:52They didn't call him again.
06:54When I was at home,
06:56I sent the video to Mala Parvati.
07:01She said that we can't let this go.
07:04You were lucky to be saved.
07:07But many kids can get trapped in this.
07:09How do you know that he is not doing any fraud?
07:12Through his Facebook page,
07:14I sent the details and his number.
07:17I posted it.
07:20After that, I got calls from channels.
07:23I did some enquiries.
07:25Many people from the film industry called me.
07:27A director named Jinoy called me.
07:29His friend got a casting call from Bombay.
07:32For a web series.
07:34He sent photos and everything.
07:36Parody, 1 lakh salary.
07:38I had to take the artist card.
07:40I had to send 50,000 rupees.
07:41When I searched on Google,
07:43I didn't even need the artist card.
07:45He sent 50,000 rupees to his friend.
07:47If you get a salary of 1 lakh per day,
07:49it's not a problem.
07:50After sending the money,
07:52I didn't get any phone calls.
07:54When I called him,
07:55his phone was switched off.
07:56He is a fraud.
07:58His name is Sarin.
08:00Jinoy told me that.
08:02In the next interview,
08:04I asked him to tell me Sarin's name.
08:06He told me to come to the post
08:08posted by Mala Parvati.
08:10He contacted me.
08:12That's true.
08:14You told me that you felt genuine.
08:16You are the one who responds
08:18to such casting calls.
08:20When you get such calls,
08:22there will be many people
08:24who dream of acting in films.
08:26It's possible that they get
08:28attracted to you quickly.
08:30Before this,
08:32when I talk to new people,
08:34when they ask me how I came,
08:36it's mostly through casting calls.
08:38I asked them if they go for auditions.
08:40They said yes.
08:42But some people ask for money.
08:44I told them not to go for auditions
08:46with casting calls asking for money.
08:48It's fraud.
08:50Such a film will never happen.
08:52It will be an audition
08:54to get money from you.
08:56Genuine auditioners will never
08:58ask for money.
09:00Don't ever give money.
09:02Don't ask for money.
09:04If you are talented,
09:06you will get money.
09:08Don't wait patiently for money.
09:10When we call someone daily,
09:12what do we hear?
09:14You all hear
09:16a message about fraud.
09:18We have been hearing about it
09:20for a long time.
09:22But when we ask for money,
09:24we fall for it unknowingly.
09:26Don't do that.
09:28If you ask like that,
09:30definitely you will fall for it.
09:32As soon as I came,
09:34without knowing the reason,
09:36I was never cast in that film.
09:38We need to think practically.
09:40No matter how exciting
09:42the offer is,
09:44for me,
09:46Rajini sir's role is
09:48the most exciting offer.
09:50I have been watching films
09:52since my childhood.
09:54I am ready to go even
09:56for a passing shot.
09:58That's why they gave me
10:00a huge offer
10:02with the help
10:04of my friends
10:06and with our common sense,
10:08I escaped from it.
10:10I didn't complain.
10:12But I gave a bite
10:14to everyone who called me.
10:16Everyone should take it
10:18as a warning.
10:20Don't fall for fraud again.
10:22How difficult it is to
10:24get a loan of Rs. 50,000.
10:26How many people will they
10:28cheat? That was my thought.
10:30When you got a call
10:32in the middle of this,
10:34you asked other artists
10:36about it.
10:38Some people may not
10:40be able to do this.
10:42Since I am in the industry,
10:44and I have many friends
10:46to inquire about me,
10:48I was able to clarify it.
10:50Sethu is a Malayali actor
10:52from Kottayam.
10:54It's been many years.
10:56If I get an enquiry from Tamil,
10:58I will contact Sethu.
11:00I am sure he will help me.
11:02But if I get an enquiry
11:04from a poor guy,
11:06I will have only one thing to say.
11:08Don't ever send money
11:10to an audition
11:12asking for money.
11:14Don't play such roles.
11:16If you ask like that,
11:18they should understand
11:20that it is a big mistake.
11:22Which company did you call?
11:24Suresh Kumar Castings.
11:26It has a logo.
11:28There is a page on Facebook
11:30with only 36 followers.
11:32It is a page
11:34that was created
11:36for trust.
11:38I have a doubt.
11:40If Suresh Kumar Castings
11:42really exists,
11:44or if this is happening
11:46in their name,
11:48I shared it with my friends.
11:50But that person should
11:52respond.
11:54If there is a Suresh Kumar Casting
11:56in Tamil,
11:58they haven't responded yet.
12:00They must have created
12:02this idea.
12:04But when you responded,
12:06some people said
12:08that this is not true.
12:10Yes.
12:12For my fame,
12:14I am lying.
12:16Someone commented
12:18under the interview
12:20that I am Rajinikanth's wife.
12:22When I see that,
12:24I feel sad.
12:26I don't mind that.
12:28But I don't want
12:30my children to fall in this trap.
12:32Many actresses have
12:34shared their experience
12:36with casting calls.
12:38Did you have to face
12:40such calls before?
12:42No.
12:44This is the first time
12:46I have faced such a fake call.
12:48In the name of such a big banner,
12:50this is the first time
12:52I have faced such a fake call.
12:54Did other actresses
12:56share their experience?
12:58No.
13:00Many people called me
13:02and told me that
13:04they have heard about
13:06such fake calls.
13:08There was a girl
13:10who acted in a serial with me.
13:12She asked me for money.
13:14I told her that I don't have money
13:16to live.
13:18That's how she reacted.
13:20Some people told me
13:22that they have heard about
13:24such fake calls.
13:26But they are small budding artists.
13:28Since they don't have money,
13:30they can't send money.
13:32If they had money,
13:34they would have sent it a year ago.
13:36We can think like this.
13:38We can doubt
13:40whether they are
13:42looking at other actresses
13:44and choosing them.
13:46They are like a team.
13:48I have acted in
13:5092 films.
13:52It has been 10 years
13:54since I have acted in a film.
13:56They have targeted
13:58such experienced actresses
14:00to catch me.
14:02They must have done
14:04a lot of research
14:06to choose such actresses.
14:08If you want to convince
14:10an experienced actress,
14:12they must have practiced a lot.
14:14They must have practiced
14:16and checked my profile.
14:18They told me that
14:20they checked my profile
14:22and that my experience is apt.
14:24In Wikipedia
14:26or IMDb,
14:28our profiles are there.
14:30We have the details of
14:32the films we have acted in.
14:34They might have
14:36made a big offer.
14:38When I told them about
14:40Rajini sir,
14:42they were so professional
14:44when they approached me.
14:46They spoke to me
14:48very decently.
14:50They didn't even
14:52smile when they came on screen.
14:54They were very serious
14:56when they called me.
14:58To convince us,
15:00we need a guardian.
15:02We won't take
15:04a guardian's flight ticket.
15:06We will meet your flight ticket,
15:08accommodation and travel expense.
15:10You have to take
15:12a guardian's flight ticket.
15:14We will provide food and accommodation.
15:16They tried to convince us
15:18in detail.
15:20We were so excited
15:22when we heard that.
15:24We were so excited
15:26when we heard that.
15:28We were so excited
15:30when we heard that.
15:32We were so excited
15:34when we heard that.
15:36We were so excited
15:38when we heard that.
15:40When they confirmed,
15:42I was so happy.
15:44Because he didn't know
15:46how many casting agencies
15:48can cast me as his wife.
15:50can cast me as his wife.
15:52I told him,
15:54I can't do that.
15:56It's just a small movie.
15:58It's just a small movie.
16:00I told him,
16:02it's a pan-Indian movie.
16:04I told him,
16:06We are not fixed in a role through a simple casting call.
16:09The kids should understand that too.
16:11What are the offers we get?
16:13They will say big offers to tempt us.
16:16So, when they are young, when they are teenagers, they will fall for it.
16:20We can't blame them.
16:22Because that's how their approach is.
16:24They should bring their parents.
16:26If they say like that, it's natural.
16:28Since they are good people, they should bring their parents.
16:30They say they need a guardian.
16:32So, we can trust them.
16:33That's their idea.
16:35There are a lot of people who dream of becoming a movie star.
16:39Is this what you want to say to them?
16:42To think more?
16:44Of course.
16:45Even if it's an audition for a Malayalam film,
16:49we have to do a lot of research.
16:52For example, for Chidambaram,
16:54it's an open audition.
16:56When you go there and get a ticket,
16:58there are actors like Abhinavachari and Chandu.
17:01One of my friends went there.
17:03When you get the 22nd number,
17:05think about how many people have applied.
17:08It's an audition that lasts for a full day.
17:12So, if you can go to such auditions with patience, go.
17:17If your talent is there and you are apt,
17:19they will definitely give you an opportunity.
17:22Apart from that,
17:24if you pay Rs.10,000,
17:26do you know how many people have been cheated like that?
17:29It's a small amount.
17:31You have to pay Rs.20,000 or Rs.30,000.
17:34Only then can you do it.
17:36The shoot goes on.
17:38After 3-4 days of shooting,
17:40it stops.
17:41So, the money they give to this person is lost.
17:44I have heard such stories before.
17:46I have heard it a while ago.
17:48Mostly, it happens to men.
17:50You understand, right?
17:52They may have a job between 25,000 and 30,000.
17:55But they are very interested in cinema.
17:57So, when you say 25,000,
17:59they are doing it because they want to see their faces on screen.
18:03There are many people who have lost that kind of money.
18:06But I want to say that they should at least pay attention to it.
18:09They should pay attention to the banners and directors.
18:11They should pay attention to everything.
18:13Even if they pay attention to everything,
18:15I have been called by Mr. Reddy's name, right?
18:17But even then, we have to think with common sense.
18:21Will this be true?
18:23I am saying that we have to doubt 99% of it.
18:26If you ask for money,
18:29then you will understand that it is a fraud.
18:31You can stop there.
18:33If you have a doubt that the money is a fraud,
18:37you can contact the bank or the police.
18:40Cybercell is always ready.
18:42Now, if you ask for money,
18:44they will give it to you immediately.
18:46Have you complained to the police?
18:48No, I have not complained because I have not lost money.
18:51When I came from there,
18:53I said that no one should do this again.
18:56Everyone should be aware.
18:58I said that you should be careful.
19:00That is why I used these opportunities.
19:02I have not complained.
19:04Because I will complain against anyone.
19:06I only have a phone number.
19:08If it is a fake number,
19:10I have not lost money.
19:12There is no FIR to be filed.
19:14That is why I have not complained to the police.
19:17Thank you, Jayashree.
