Ekta Kapoor is rolling out an ambitious plan this year. She will set up an acting school for prospective TV actors. The school will also impart technical education to people looking at careers beyond acting.

//

“I want to groom people to become good actors and provide them with specialised and modern technical know-how. I see so many newcomers and most of them have no idea about the craft which they call their passion. I want to hone their talent. That way they will be in a better position to face the brutal competition in the TV industry,” Ekta says.

Her friends from the television industry will be guest lecturers at the school being set up in Mumbai’s suburbs. Actors like Prachi Desai, Sakshi Tanwar, Shweta Tiwari, Ronit Roy, Smriti Irani and Anita Hasanandani among others are expected to deliver lectures.
Apart from this, Ekta is also excited about being honoured with the award for the Most Outstanding Woman Entrepreneur by the Indo-American Society on its golden jubilee. The award will be handed over by the governor of Maharashtra, SC Jamir and his wife Alemla Jamir on January 16 at the Raj Bhavan.

She says, “I have just been doing my job of entertaining people and it feels great that my work is being appreciated.”

Vidya Balan is reportedly all set to play the lead in Ekta Kapoor's next film, " Ragini MMS", based on the infamous MMS scandal in a Delhi school.
Earlier, Kangna Ranaut had been approached to play the role and she'd reportedly even agreed. But Kangna walked out of the movie a few days ago, when she heard about the explicit content it will have due to the subject of the story. But Ekta has apparently already found a replacement in Vidya Balan.
Says a source, "Kangna walked out of the film, perhaps because she had developed cold feet about the movie. This is a bold movie and it needs an actress who can do justice to a strong portrayal. Vidya is can deliver such intense roles with confidence. She is anyway doing "Dirty Picture", based on the life of Silk Smitha, with Ekta and her company felt that she's appropriate for the role. So, they've approached her." When we contacted Balaji Motion Pictures, CEO Tanuj Garg sent us an SMS saying, "I don't want to say anything at this stage. But the film is definitely on."
After playing the role of Sabrina Lall, sister of slain Delhi model Jessica, in "No One Killed Jessica", and Silk Smitha in "Dirty Picture", it seems Vidya's becoming quite popular with filmmakers wanting to cast actresses for 'real' roles. This latest role, if confirmed, would be the latest in a series of realistic, offbeat films for the actress.
