Iconic Bollywood Acting Academy to rival Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares Acting School
In May 2010 a new Bollywood Acting Academy is launching in London offering intense fast track courses to would be Actors/Actresses & VJ’s on their quest to seek fame and fortune within Bollywood.
Iconic Bollywood Acting Academy is the brain child of former B4U VJ Asad Shan. Asad, who has recently directed his first Feature Production titled, #7- Welcome to London was inspired when he came across all the raw talent when auditioning for his cast. “We have many talented individuals within the UK with the passion and drive to succeed within Bollywood. Iconic Bollywood Acting Academy will not only give these budding stars valuable skills but will catapult them into the arena by offering personal introductions. I am really excited about this project.” - Asad
Asad Shan who trained at Lee Strasberg Film Academy was based in Mumbai for 3 years before returning to London with the desire to transfer his theoretical knowledge and practical experience to people who are hungry to succeed within this industry. Iconic Productions UK Ltd is the sister company to IBAA and being a Production House, will hand pick the best talent for future projects. “This is the most unique thing about Iconic, it is not JUST an acting school. Our sister company Iconic Productions UK Ltd has big visions for the Global Entertainment Industry. Being within the Iconic family will most definitely benefit our students in having the upper hand in getting ahead withiin their chosen profession”
IBAA will offer a monthly Weekend Acting Course, an Intense Flexi Evening Acting course and an Evening VJ course. Based in a Central London, IBAA is ideally located to be conveniently accessible for students from all parts of London and all walks of life.
The curriculum consists of techniques that Asad learnt in Mumbai from acting Guru Kishore Namit, who has taught actors from likes of Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Khanna, Priyanka Chopra and Hritihk Roshan. Asad combines key techniques of Method Acting creating a unique learning experience for students.
Courses start from just £250 and require students to be self disciplined and come coupled with determination and motivation in order to structure themselves to additional self study with support available whenever required. Due to demand, the courses will be delivered on a monthly basis.
The Academy is demonstrating a promising start with interest gained and deposits paid by many students who are raring to get started. “We have managed to gain plenty of momentum without advertising. The academy commences right after Iconic Productions UK Ltd attend the Cannes Film Festival May this year. We have been amongst the selected Feature Productions who will be showcasing the trailer for our forthcoming film #7-Welcome To London.”
On completing the course, students will have produced a 3 minute showreel demonstrating their newly acquired acting skills. In addition to this, they will receive a professional headshot, personal styling & make up tips from a top industry professional and a consultation with a personal coach to help formulate a plan with goals & introductions.
When asked whether IBAA is going to rival Anupum Kher’s acting school, Asad replied “the school has enjoyed great success since its launch, however, our market research has revealed that there is a requirement for an institution which offers intense fast track Acting/VJ courses, with affordable costs.” IBAA is the first to launch a specialist VJ course for the Bollywood market in the UK. “We aim to deliver an intense weekly evening course for those with other commitments who are keen to understand what it takes to make it successful within this industry.”
The classes will be delivered by Asad Shan and a whole host of Industry Professionals including Directors, Producers, Casting Agents & Special Guest Speakers. By having a diverse range of teachers, IBAA hopes that it will give students a holistic view of the industry and practical tips to gain that edge in this extremely competitive market.
