Mohit Kapoor On Casting Familiar Faces and His Interest In Bigg Boss

Producer Mohit Kapoor shared, “In a fast-content era, soulful music stands out. Chaap Tilak was chosen because emotions never go out of style, and audiences still seek depth and meaningful storytelling.” Talking about casting familiar television faces in music videos, Mohit explained, “Familiar faces help with recall and initial reach, but content must be strong enough to hold attention. Casting should support the emotion of the story,” he said, adding that soulful music works only when performance and storytelling feel authentic. According to him, consistency and thoughtful project choices matter far more than momentary fame.
