Annapurna Studios Warns Against Fake Casting Calls
The announcement from Annapurna Studios urges the public to be cautious of any social media posts claiming to hold actor auditions on behalf of their company.
Annapurna Studios, a renowned production house in Hyderabad, has issued a stern warning against fake casting calls circulating on social media. Cybercriminals have been exploiting the names of top production companies to lure unsuspecting individuals with promises of acting opportunities.
The announcement from Annapurna Studios urges the public to be cautious of any social media posts claiming to hold actor auditions on behalf of their company. They advise users not to share personal information, send money, or fall victim to these scams. The production house clarifies that all official announcements regarding casting will be made solely through their verified social media accounts and official website.
This incident follows a similar case faced by another film production company, 24 Frames Factory. The company recently encountered the spread of misinformation through fake emails purporting to be from their organization. They have strongly advised the public to disregard any information not originating from their official email address (info@24FramesFactory.com). Legal action will be taken against those found spreading false information through forged email IDs.
These instances highlight the growing threat of online scams targeting aspiring actors. Actor Vishnu Manchu, through the Movie Artist Association, has been advocating for the protection of actors against such exploitation. With increased awareness and vigilance, individuals can safeguard themselves from falling prey to these fraudulent casting calls.
