The All India Cine Workers Association has appealed to the Hindi film industry to provide actor Sharad Kapoor with roles commensurate with his experience.
The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) issued a public appeal urging Bollywood producers and directors to consider veteran actor Sharad Kapoor for roles that match his talent and years of experience. In a statement released on its official platform, the association highlighted Kapoor's contributions to Indian cinema and called for a more inclusive casting approach.
Kapoor, who debuted in the early 1990s and has appeared in a range of commercial and character-driven films, has seen a slowdown in offers over the past few years. AICWA argued that his reduced visibility is not reflective of his capabilities, and that the industry should tap into his seasoned skill set rather than overlook him.
Industry observers noted that the plea aligns with broader discussions about age diversity and merit-based opportunities in Bollywood. While no immediate response from film houses has been recorded, the association said it will continue to lobby for fair work allocation for all its members, including seasoned actors like Kapoor.
