Shekhar Suman, a veteran actor and talk show host, has launched his Film Academy in Mumbai to teach budding actors the art of acting. In an exclusive interview, Suman expressed his concerns about the current state of acting in the industry. He believes that young actors today are more focused on their physique and appearance rather than honing their craft.
Suman, who has been an actor for over four decades, feels that today's generation lacks discipline and understanding of the character they are portraying. He attributes this to the misconception that simply reciting lines makes one an actor. Suman also pointed out that the younger generation has lost touch with proper language, pronunciation, and voice modulation.
He emphasized the importance of patience and dedication in becoming a great actor, stating that stardom will follow naturally when one masters the craft. Suman's Film Academy aims to provide a hands-on learning experience for aspiring actors, with the veteran actor being involved in every aspect of the curriculum.
Suman's concerns about the industry are reflected in his new talk show, Shekhar Tonite, which features a new guest each week. The show is available on YouTube and has garnered attention for its promising lineup of guests, including Manoj Bajpayee, Bobby Deol, Farah Khan, and Ali Fazal.
