Celebrated British Director Danny Boyle, who is in town to shoot his latest opus, visited Anupam Kher's acting school Actor Prepares yesterday. He held an interactive session with students of 'Actor Prepares' during which he was quizzed on several aspects of acting and direction.
"Can acting be taught, what do you expect from an actor, why is it that only a handful of aspirants become successful actors'" These were some of the questions that were fielded to the acclaimed director who has won 24 international awards at last count.
"Exhilarating and inspirational," were some of the comments of the students who counted that morning as a defining moment in their professional life.
"I never knew that such an acting school measuring up to international standards existed in Mumbai," said Boyle, after the session.
Danny Boyle is best known for his films Trainspotting, Millions, The Beach, Sunshine, 28 Days Later and its sequel, 28 Weeks Later .
