Mumbai:
Prakash Jha selected a thousand students from Madhya Pradesh and trained them to face the camera for his film Aarakshan.
This is not the first time that Big B is playing professor to a classroom full of students. But this time, for Prakash Jha's Aarakshan, he will play a professor to 1,000 'trained' actors playing students in the film.
Prakash Jha on the sets of Aarakshan where he wanted real students playing the role and not actors masquerading as students.
Big B faces real students from various colleges who have gathered at the Oriental College in Bhopal to be part of the Big B's celluloid campus.
Director Jha said, "We selected a thousand students from Bhopal and the rest from Madhya Pradesh with no experience in acting at all. We put them through a month of acting workshops.
By the end of their training, they were all ready and also understood what the camera required."
This is the first time in an Indian film that students have been trained before playing students in a film.
