Photographer Atul Kasbekar: Wants to bring back supermodel concept

New Delhi, March 20: Celebrated photographer and film producer Atul Kasbekar says the concept of supermodel has disappeared from India, and he wants to revive it.

"I have watched through my career how the concept of supermodel essentially has disappeared from our country. And there is a whole bunch of different factors which has resulted in killing the concept," said Kasbekar.

He is part of the Colors Infinity show "Top Model India".

"If I can be a part of the process to revive it to whatever extent, then I will be a part of it. People like Sheetal Mallar and Mehr Jessia are supermodels in their own right. Even Arjun Rampal, before him Rahul Dev and Marc Robinson -- they were huge stars.

"In every advanced country that has a visual communication and advertising, you will find digital stars, model stars. We had that and we managed to kill it."
