Naseeruddin Shah says he might write a handbook for training young actors.
The “Finding Fanny” star, who attended an event to celebrate the success of his book “And Then One Day - A Memoir,” said training given to amateur actors in India is wrong and harmful.
“I have wanted to write a handbook for training of actors... I am not good at writing fiction. So, I probably stick to non-fiction. My book will be on how to train yourself as an actor.
“Because most of the training given to actors in India I think is quite wrong and some of it is very harmful. I have seen a lot of acting schools in Delhi and Mumbai, and the way they conduct their classes. I don’t agree with that way of training actors,” he said.
Asked if he is also planning to write the second part of his autobiography, the 64-year-old actor said, “I don’t think I will write the second part because the most interesting part of my life I had already written. I don’t think the remaining days are so interesting to write about.”
