Ranveer’s McDonald’s television commercial
Ranveer appeared with his parents in this McDonald’s television commercial when he was six weeks old. Filming took place over four days, and his parents described the production as friendly, well organised and enjoyable.
Feedback from Ranveer’s parents
Being a part of the McDonald’s commercial was a lovely experience. We had a really good time.
The production team was very friendly and helpful. We were well taken care of especially my 6-week old son. Already looking forward to the next job!! The agency’s coordination has been brilliant – they are super quick in getting things done. — Ranveer’s parents

How newborn casting works
Newborns may be considered for advertising, photography, television and film projects. Casting teams usually work from a precise brief covering age, location, availability and the appearance needed for a particular production. Selection therefore depends on the requirements of that project rather than on a promise of regular work.
Parents can make the process easier by keeping photographs and measurements current, responding promptly to briefs and protecting their baby’s routine and comfort throughout every stage.
Step 1Use recent, natural photographs
Clear photographs taken in natural light are normally more useful than heavily styled or edited images. Include a close view of your baby’s face and a simple full-length photograph so the casting team can see current features and size.
Step 2Choose a reputable children’s agency
Research how an agency operates, what it charges and how it communicates with families. A responsible agency should explain its process clearly, set realistic expectations and treat a child’s welfare as the priority.
Step 3Follow the casting brief
Each submission may request particular photographs, measurements, availability or a short video. Supplying only the information requested helps the agency and casting team assess suitability efficiently.
Step 4Put your baby’s welfare first
Parents should consider travel, waiting time, feeding, sleep and the demands of the production before accepting a booking. Bring the supplies and comfort items your baby needs, communicate concerns promptly and be prepared to stop if the experience is not right for them.
Keeping expectations realistic
A submission or audition does not guarantee a booking. Several babies may fit the broad brief, while the final decision can be affected by age, size, location, availability and the creative direction of the campaign. Rejection is a normal part of casting and is not a judgement on a child or family.
Our children’s photo guidelines explain how to prepare suitable images. Parents can also read our practical information about child modelling and casting.
