A Reddit thread featured users discussing Shaad Randhawa and his frequent presence in Mohit Suri’s films. Sharing stills of Shaad from six movies directed by Suri, a user asked, “Why is this guy in every Mohit Suri movie? Is he related to Mohit Suri?”



Shaad has been a part of several of Suri’s films including Awarapan, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Malang, Ek Villain Returns, and Saiyaara. Directors often cast actors and crew members with whom they share a great working relationship and this is nothing new.

Reacting to the post, one user wrote, “I know some directors find it very easy working with certain actors, and if the film is successful and they get recognised, they tend to recast them in different roles in every film. SSR is like this with a few actors.”

Another pointed out, “Even Nolan regularly casts actors like Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Matt Damon.”

A user recalled an old interview with Mohit Suri where he spoke about Shaad, “He is Mohit’s close friend and a good actor. In an old interview, Mohit once said that Shaad is a secure actor, and that’s why he likes working with him. He said some supporting actors try to take the full limelight in a scene, trying to one-up the lead. But whenever he’s in a fix for a supporting role, he turns to Shaad.”
