Anupam Kher pointed fingers at acting in Bollywood

Anupam Kher’s comment last week at London that he wished to change course and ‘hammy’ acting style of Bollywood through his acting school set a furor and uproar in Bollywood. However, Anupam Kher hardly seemed perturbed from his criticism.

He said, “Isn’t it true that a lot of us ham in Indian films and not because it comes naturally to us? Often we’re asked to act that way and the Indian audience to this day reacts more favourably to broad performances as compared to the more subtle ones,”

He made this statement on March 7 during his visit of London to open branch of his acting school ‘Actor Prepares’. The happy Anupam Kher was in jubilant mood when he returned to Mumbai from London after finalizing the proceedings to open his acting school in London in September. He said, “I flew London to sign the biggest deal of my life. I returned Sunday feeling satisfied with life.”

He signed a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Ealing Institute of Media in London on 6th March. Anupam that completely seems possessed with the idea of carrying his acting school to foreign shores termed opening ‘Actor Prepares’ as biggest achievement of his life, “I think my school has finally reached an international platform, not because we’re opening international branches, but because of the interest it has generated globally.”
