The casting call is to all the delegates who were attending the event. There were 25000 delegates from 183 countries and the musical aimed at integrating talented singers cum dancers who can be a part of the musical.

It was a great experience attending the workshop on Saatvikabhinaya by Dr. Pappu Vengopal Rao. It was my long time wish to read and understand Natyasastra because I strongly believe that understanding Natyasastra will make me a better dancer.
