Khan, who predominantly works in the TV industry, has done casting for some popular shows like Kumkum Bhagya, Naagin 4, Naagin 5, Molkki, Yeh Hai Chhahatein and many others. He also runs his own casting agency called ‘Shadman Khan Casting Agency’.
During a conversation with FilmiBeat, Shadman Khan talked about the #MeToo movement, casting couch and difficulties in the profession and much more. When asked about the MeToo movement, Khan said, “I don’t think it’s right. Many people have made MeToo just for the sake of publicity or to get the limelight and attention. In this industry, no one forces you to get physical. So, after that, if things don’t work in your favour, what’s the point to put such a harsh allegation? I am not saying, whosoever’s allegations are wrong or trying to get attention. But in the majority of cases, they do it for publicity only. Absolutely, it has affected casting directors’ image.”
