Shekhar Suman Launches Film Academy for Aspiring Talent

Shekhar Suman has announced the establishment of the Shekhar Suman Film Academy (SSFA), an innovative institution designed to train aspiring actors and storytellers for the dynamic entertainment industry. Drawing on his extensive four-decade career, Suman aims to provide a structured learning environment that emphasizes instinctive performance over traditional methods.

The academy's inaugural offering is an intensive three-month acting program, largely led by Suman himself. This comprehensive course includes masterclasses by industry professionals and covers essential skills such as voice training, emotional access, and camera readiness. Students will also experience the Linklater Voice Method and gain insights into film language and on-set discipline.

SSFA is positioned as a personal endeavor by Suman to 'give back to the craft.' The academy, backed by co-founders Dharmesh Sangani and Adhyayan Suman, and COO Ekant Babani, is open to all aspiring individuals. Applicants are required to submit a basic self-audition, with potential prioritized over prior experience. Registrations for the first batch are currently accessible via the academy's official website.
