Basileus Casting
Casting with Precision and Insight.
Basileus Casting is a Delhi-Mumbai based casting agency founded by actor and casting director Kaustubh Singh. With deep experience across stage, screen, and production, the agency brings a rare dual perspective that allows it to identify talent with both artistic clarity and practical understanding.
We don’t just match actors to roles. We find the right energy that serves the story, the director, and the project.
About Basileus Casting
Basileus Casting was founded with a clear purpose — to bring honesty, precision, and depth to the casting process.
Kaustubh Singh, the founder, has lived the full cycle of performance and production. With more than 150 stage productions, a lead role in the OTT series Dilwala Bodyguard, and hands-on experience managing stage productions, he understands what actually works on set — not just in theory, but in real conditions.
This experience allows Basileus Casting to approach every project with both sensitivity and clarity.
The Dual Perspective Advantage
Most casting happens from one side of the table. Basileus Casting operates from both.
Kaustubh Singh’s background gives the agency a unique advantage:
- As a Performer: With over 150 live stage performances and a lead screen role in Dilwala Bodyguard, he brings an intimate understanding of what actors need to deliver their best work.
- As a Production Professional: His experience managing stage productions has given him insight into the real pressures of time, budget, and execution.
- As a Casting Director: He brings a trained eye that quickly recognises not just talent, but the right talent — the one who can elevate the scene and match the director’s vision.
This dual perspective enables Basileus Casting to cast with both artistic depth and practical precision.
