Anupam Kher, the newly-appointed chairperson of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), says the institute should be taken seriously. Talking about improving the condition of the FTII, Kher says, "Intention is the most important factor. The blueprint has to be made. Unfortunately, in the last few years, the FTII has been projected as a troubled place, whether it is the students strike, the appointment of the previous chairman or anything else. I think the institution should be taken seriously; it is a place where people are trained."
