Rishi Kapoor addresses Students at Whistling Woods International

 
 

'Actors need to understand Storytelling’ , said  the veteran actor , Rishi Kapoor who conducted a master class for students in acting and film making  at Whistling Woods International (WWI) where he shared his insights on how Acting can be a great career opportunity with the right learning. ‘Acting is to put an Effort to show Effortlessness’ , he said.

Relating to the start of his career, he shared that during the making of his debut movie BOBBY, he expected professionals like dance masters etc to teach him, but there were none. He asked his director father Mr. Raj Kapoor for them and requested for guidance since he had no knowledge. On this the great legend Raj Kapoor said "What you don’t know is where you will score, that will be your style, create your individuality and be an asset of yours".  Therefore as an Actor,  Never be Predictable. You  need to create your own style and individuality and work hard to win audience adulation, he said.

In appreciation of Subhash Ghai for his unique contribution to the industry for setting up a  world class institute – WWI  in Mumbai , he was reminded  how Subhash Ghai was extremely techno-savvy  even 30 years back during the making of "KARZ" and always had this dream. Rishi also stressed on the importance of studying at institutes like WWI. “It is important for actors today to know all facets of film making and discover their own style and professional schools like WWI is the right place for this.  The more you learn about the art of storytelling, the more it will help your performance.”

Rishi Kapoor received a standing ovation for his legendary work  in  Hindi cinema entertainment from 300 students in auditorium of WWI  while Meghna Ghai Puri  presented him a souvenir on behalf of students.
