Johnny Lever with students: Developing a bond
Comedian John Prakasa Rao Janumala famously known as Johnny Lever inaugurated the Johnny Lever Ryan Film Academy (JLRFA) at Ryan International School, Kundalahalli recently. And, it was a day filled with laughter, comedy and fun for the students. The ace comedian of Hindi movies charmed his young fans with his brilliant comic sense.
And, in turn, they cheered and asked for more when he performed on stage mimicking his co-stars and choreographers.
Unique workshop
He said that the JLRFA proposes to provide courses such as film-making, acting, editing, dance, recording, production, dubbing and many more.
To begin with, they will launch dancing courses across India. This unique workshop will not only hunt for talent in India but also nurture and refine the skills of upcoming dancers. The workshop is open to everyone – not only to Ryanites but also to their parents, teachers and staff and also to the general public. Choreographers Vinod and Sumeet of ‘Boogie Woogie’, ‘All the Best’ and ‘Singh is King’ fame, will conduct these workshops.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Lever said that he has never delivered a vulgar dialogue on screen. “I flatly refuse when directors ask me to deliver such dialogues. I believe in family values and realise that the entire family should be able to watch a movie,” he said. He took a break from his career (for eight years) to spend time with his family. Principal Prashanth Fernandez said that with the launch of JLFRA, his chairman Augustine Pinto’s dream of providing huge platform for talented students of the school had come true.
Mr. Lever was also at the Ryan, Yelahanka campus, to inaugurate the academy. In his inimitable style, the actor entertained the students.
