Following accolades for her acting in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, Anjali Anand is now captivating viewers with her portrayal of Shahida in Dabba Cartel, one of the main characters. It’s intriguing to know that she joined the cast only four days before filming started! Shibani Dandekar, impressed by Anjali’s performance in RARKPK, made the decision to replace the initial actress and arranged a late-night audition for her at 1 AM. Shibani is said to have persuaded everyone to rely on her judgment.
During a chat with SCREEN, Anjali Anand recounted an intriguing tale on how she came to be part of Dabba Cartel. She disclosed that she was chosen for the role mere days before filming commenced, even though the entire cast had already been decided upon earlier.
Based on Anjali’s account, it was after watching her performance in “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani” that Shibani Dandekar acknowledged she may have erred in her initial casting choice for the role of Shahida. Initially unsure, Shibani had proposed Anjali for the part, but her suggestion was initially met with opposition.
Anjali disclosed that Shibani covertly directed the casting director to reach out to her. She remembered that it was during her journey to Mumbai when her vehicle suffered a puncture.
Once the casting director shared that the production was a Netflix series, spearheaded by Excel Entertainment, and she’d be among the main five characters, Anjali jumped at the opportunity without hesitation. Intriguingly, she confessed that the allure of the project was so strong that she didn’t even consider reading the script before agreeing to it.
Additionally, Anand disclosed that Shibani managed her audition clandestinely and it was held at one o’clock in the morning. Moreover, he added that she advised everyone to rely on their gut feelings.
In the audition room, I was handed a scene from episode five without prior knowledge of any other script parts. Yet, as soon as I started reading, it became evident to everyone present that Shibani had made an astute decision by selecting me for the role. Grateful for being cast as Shahida, I firmly believe I found myself in the perfect place at the ideal moment.
