Papp Lekhraj바카라s phone is full of photos of women, men and others. As a sought-after junior artist supplier in Bollywood, it is the job of Lekhraj, 57, to find people, look at requirements and send junior artists to various shoots.
He recalls how his father, who had come to Bombay after Partition, had worked as an extra first and then became a junior artist coordinator at Filmistan.
바카라Those were the days when actors and everyone else were paid salaries,바카라 says Lekhraj.
Now, junior artists get paid on a 바카라per day바카라 basis. It is a gruelling shift. Almost 12 hours.
Lekhraj was 17 when his father suffered a heart attack. It was 1982 and he had just matriculated. He had to take over.
바카라My father used to say this job is like a postman바카라s job. You have to go knocking on doors,바카라 he says.
Back then, there were no mobile phones. Lekhraj had a scooter, and off he went looking for people who fit the 바카라extra바카라 category.
It is has been almost 40 years now. His father passed away in 2008 and now, his son is auditioning for roles.
바카라The challenge is to pay the junior artists every day after their shifts. 바카라My father used to say, 바카라Don바카라t continue when you can바카라t pay.바카라바카라
