Veteran actor Nasser has designed a one-year course in acting for a new breed of actors Actor Nasser, who has over three decades of experience, has always been passionate about teaching. When he gets time, the seasoned actor conducts workshops to coach young artistes. Now, he has come up with a one-year course in acting, which he has conceptualised, researched and structured. The course will be offered by Rajiv Menon’s Mindscreen Film Institute. The veteran firmly believes that with changing times, the industry requires a new breed of actors. “Cinema has changed. Acting is not just about the ability to deliver dialogues, melodrama, sword fighting skills or dancing skills. Acting is entirely different,” says Nasser.

A PROUD MOMENT FOR RAJIV MENON’S MINDSCREEN FILM INSTITUTE

A PROUD MOMENT FOR RAJIV MENON’S MINDSCREEN FILM INSTITUTE Rajkummar Rao starrer Newton, directed by Amit Masurkar, is India's official entry to the Oscars this year, which has already been getting rave reviews from the critics and audience.   The film has cinematography by Swapnil Sonawane, who was a former student of Rajiv Menon's Mindscreen Film Institute. Swapnil’s cinematography emphasizes the jungle’s dusty tones and finds interesting vantage points to capture the action from, using some visually appealing wide-angle shots. Swapnil Sonawane, the cinematographer, chose to shoot the film in natural light so as to make it look real. Great care had to be taken to shoot scenes at the right time. A fair amount of research went there as well – in choosing the right camera and lenses.
