Behind the scenes, where there’s drama, there’s comedy: Anupama Chopra on Call My Agent!
Hindustan TimesIn the last few minutes of the last episode of the last season of the French television series Call My Agent!, the various agents at ASK, a top talent firm in Paris, are having a farewell drink. The 4-season, 24-episodes series — which was called Dix Pour Cent in France, for the 10% commission that agents make — became a worldwide success after it was taken to global audiences by Netflix. An added attraction were the guest appearances by French cinema’s A-listers, most of whom play versions of themselves. One of my favourite memories from the ’90s is of the secretary of an A-list heroine calling and introduced himself with the honorific ‘ji’ — as in, “Main X ji bol raha hoon.” They were incomparable hustlers who, all said and done, kept relationships in place in a chaotic business.
