Telugu cinema King Akkineni Nagarjuna deserves kudos for the best effort he is making to institute a world-class acting centre in apna Hyderabad. As is well-known, he has set up the much-in-news International School of Films and Media, which is an ambitious project to say the least.  The actor is being lavished with praises by his colleagues in the industry and others for his praise-worthy attempt to offer the Telugu talent an opportunity to hone their talents without having to go to a New York.

To quote the handsome actor, who is in his late 40s, the institute seeks to evolve the actors who can learn acting in the Indian context. Already, Prakash Raj has been roped in to head the acting department. What more, Amala, the ever supportive wife of Nag, is also involved in making the venture the best in the town. She is reportedly camping in Chennai to persuade wonderful talents like Mani Ratnam, Revathy, Suhasini and many others to be part of her hubby's venture. Well done, Nag! Hope others in the industry also emulate you in future.
