************** Saavdhan Actor********* ------ Savdhan Actors! This is a serious issue, and a potential ponzi/money making scheme. Savdhan Raho! A talent agency called ******, that claims to be reputed is asking Actors sign on as talent, but asking them to pay Rs 30,000 for 3 months (total Rs 90,000) for PR, without which they say they cannot get that actor work. On top of this, they are charging commissions ranging from 15%-40% for work they bring. They have recruited coordinators to lure actors into exclusive contracts with this clause, while sharing some part of this money with the coordinators. All actors must know, that PR NEVER guarantees work. It may help somewhat in recognition, but thats about where it ends. But, ****** claims it will do PR at cost, but has hired a separate PR agency to outsource this work, while sharing profits with them. A false claim (of doing PR at cost) is illegal and unethical, when infact there is profit sharing. No director or casting director will every ask you to show all your news coverage while casting you. Casting works the same way - 1. Shortlisted photos, 2. Look test/Audition and 3, Final call! If an actor has potential, any reputed agency can push them to get work WITHOUT PR!!. ****** is also claiming to have done dozens of projects. On investigation, it was found that almost NOT A SINGLE project was done by them under the ****** Banner. Instead, they are claiming projects done by their partners as theirs, this is illegal. We ask all to exert extreme caution when dealing with such agencies.*********** Frnds, this is d msg by one of d member of r grup. We do not say tht this agency is fake or doing fraud or cheating. V r just informing u all about how this agency is working n it is for us to judge whether to b associated with them or not. So, if any well wisher from us alerts the agency or any person connected with them thn plz note tht v r nobody to give any verdict on ur agency n its just an information tht v r sharing with fellow actor. Hope I m clear about it
