When Jacqy met Barry

Sri Lankan beauty Jacquelyn Fernandez has been in news for getting good films and banners under her belt. She first created news in the B City by bagging a role in Sujoy Ghosh's film Aladdin, wherein she would be working alongside none other than the Big B.

Said the excited Jaq, 'I never dreamt that I would be debuting in Bollywood with Mr. Bachchan. He is such a great actor.' She continued saying, 'I was initially worried about facing the camera and producing the correct expressions to support the act. But my guru Mr. Barry John made it look easy for me to get into the acting mould. I am much more confident and comfortable now, than what I was when I had won the beauty pageant. Jacqueline just got her second film Jaane Kahaan se Aayi Hai which is jointly produced by Nikhil Advani & Mukesh Talreja.

She is not the only one who has learnt acting from Barry John. Even Daggubati Rana, grandson of Ramoji Rao had come to him from Hyderabad to learn the nuances of acting. Then another student of theirs, Adhwet, has found his footing at Ram Gopal Varma as lead for film 'Contract'.

The best thing about Barry John Acting Studio is the fact that it focuses completely on acting only.

Comments the guru Barry John, "In three months what all can you really train a student in? Learning little bit of everything does not make a good artiste. I teach them what I know the best and that is acting. In fact I myself take their classes very regularly, because they are coming to my school because they have faith in me. I do not leave their training only with my other trainers. I am as involved in everyday classes as everybody else, may be more. As for dancing, fighting , yoga etc are concerned, let them go to the best to make a perfect actor."

Barry John is the name which has created major waves in the B World. He has been dubbed as The Acting Guru by the industry biggies and why not, his products are turning the heads and sky is the limit for them. The likes of SRK, Manoj Bajpai, Shiney Ahuja, Kunal Kapoor, etc are the product of the Barry John's Gurukul. Barry John's school, The Barry John Acting Studio, sharpens the skill of actors and industry aspirants. It holds the fort in making the Stars.

Their course is so complete and consistent that students coming out of this school are picked up by the top banners and they make very fine artistes. Then Barry John has had tie ups in place with various production house to give placement platform to his students. And admission is not based on audition; instead it is on first come first serve basis. Comments Barry, "They are coming to learn acting. If they already knwo it, then why would they seek us. I know that I can make them into an actor. So why do we need to take their audition!"

Barry John had moved his acting school to Andheri West in Mumbai a year back from Delhi. His next batch of workshop starts from 11 August 2008.
