Anupam Kher launches 'Actor Prepares' in Delhi

Recently, Padma Bhushan awardee Anupam Kher announced the grand launch of his acting institute, 'Actor Prepares', in Delhi, after over two decades since its founding in Mumbai. Speaking to ANI, Anupam Kher called Delhi the "ideal location" for the new branch of the 'Actor Prepares' institute, citing its cultural background.

Additionally, with the rise of OTT platforms creating opportunities, Kher called it the perfect time to launch the school. "Delhi is the capital of the country, but also culture captial. Here are embassies, art performances and exhibitions. I wanted to do it for a long time, I needed a central place in Delhi. It took us 21 years to convince people that acting can be taught, and years to build a reputation; now we can say we are the finest acting schools in the world. I am not able to say that for myself as an actor. We have so many OTT platforms, there are so many opportunities to get today, hence it was the ideal time to open today," said Anupam Kher.

Upcoming Projects

Meanwhile, the actor will be next seen in the sequel to 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'. The film also stars Ranvir Shorey, Kiran Juneja, Boman Irani and Parvinn Dabass in the lead roles. (ANI)
