How to Work with Asian Talent Managers
Working with Asian talent agencies requires understanding the highly variable multi-market regulatory structure — FICCI/CINTAA for Indian talent, NRTA content approval for Chinese co-productions, and ASEAN framework agreements for Southeast Asian talent. The following framework applies to productions sourcing Asian talent through Mumbai, Beijing, and Singapore agencies:
For international productions and global streamers sourcing Asian talent, the most efficient approach is engaging through Indian agencies for Bollywood and OTT originals, or through Singapore-based pan-Asian companies like mm2 Asia for multi-market Southeast Asian talent.
