I am joined by Akhil Wilson Thomas (@akhil_wt). He is a Law Student and is an Actor. We discuss his transition from the theatre style of acting to film, acting as an inbuilt talent, his Videos on Instagram, audition experiences, preparing portfolios for auditions/casting calls, range of acting, and more. Have added Timestamps in the Video for the important topics addressed.

Note: Apologies for any inconvenience caused during the episode. I am an amateur in the field always wanting to learn.
