Anupam
Kher,
the
name
that
needs
absolute
no
introduction,
has
been
away
from
the
national
news
for
sometime
now.
If
you
wondering
why,
it's
only
because
he
has
been
extremely
busy
creating
international
news!
On
one
hand,
when
he
has
just
wrapped
up
the
Akshay
Kumar's
Hollywood
production
titled
Breakaway,
on
the
other,
Kher
is
all
set
for
the
launch
of
his
acting
studio,
'Actor
Prepares',
in
association
with
H
R
Shah,
Chairman
and
CEO
of
TV
Asia.
Speaking
to
us,
a
visibly
excited
Anupam
said,
"My
institute
'Actor
Prepares'
is
indeed
very
close
to
my
heart.
I
have
spent
considerable
time
scouting
for
the
best
acting
schools
in
the
world,
studying
their
curriculam.
Each
student
here
receives
individual
guidance
and
counseling
throughout
the
program
from
me."
And
when
asked
him
about
how
his
school
plans
to
be
a
bridge
between
actors
and
acting,
he
said,
"Acting
is
a
craft
which
is
universal
and
can
be
taught,
learned
and
perfected.
It
is
a
craft
that
has
now
transcended
regional
and
national
barriers
as
reflected
in
productions
with
global
themes
and
locales
in
an
era
of
crossover
films.
'Actor
Prepares',
the
school
is
just
not
Bollywood-centric;
it
trains
actors
to
perform
anywhere."
Speaking
about
this
association,
H
R
Shah
of
TV
Asia
said,
"The
Bollywood
industry
is
growing
faster
than
Hollywood.
India
and
Indians
have
been
influenced
by
Bollywood
entertainment
for
the
past
100
years.
That
is
why;
it
is
today
the
largest
producer
of
films
in
the
world.
There
are
a
lot
of
talented
Indian
American
actors
in
North
America,
who
have
no
platform
to
promote
their
talent.
'Actor
Prepares'
will
help
them
gain
a
foothold
not
just
in
Bollywood,
but
in
Hollywood."
The
official
launch
of
Actor
Prepares
in
New
York,
will
take
place
soon.
