Anupam

A bit ironic really, that Anupam Kher has decided to open up an acting school in London when the people who need it the most are right at home in Mumbai.

Oh wait, there actually is a training school in Mumbai but this is the first international branch. The school, called Actor Prepares, will be opened by Anupam later this year.

“During the filming of ‘Bend it like Beckham’ it became obvious to me that there was enormous potential to build much stronger links between UK and Indian cinema,”

“The huge success of the movie shows what happens when you combine UK and Indian artistic talent. There is a natural synergy which creates something special.”

And he has plans to open up other branches in Paris and Durban (South Africa) too. Oh no, please not Durban. If I have to hear one of their annoying accents on the bigscreen, you can expect a nervous breakdown from me.

Though it’s great that a branch has opened up in London. Now it’s even more convenient for Shah Rukh Khan to get acting lessons.
