Anupam Kher on being appointed the new FTII chairperson
What was your first reaction?

I need to be a facilitator in making their dreams come true. At the end of the day, whoever is studying there, wants to be a great filmmaker or technician or actor. Institutions are not about politics but about learning and education.
