Acting resources in India

Long before Bollywood became a popular term in the West, and Indian films started turning up on cinema marquees in American suburbs, India was turning out world-class filmmakers like Satyajit Ray.  In fact, his lovely and moving 1961 film Two Daughters (Three Daughters in the original release) introduced me to Indian film and remains one of my all time favorites.

Now of course, actors in India are making much the same effort as actors anywhere to further their careers, turn in good work, and hopefully make a recognizable name for themselves in the credits. Kiran Pande, a Facebook friend of mine who has done more in film than his IMDb page would indicate, just posted a list of agencies and acting resources to his blog.  You can see the list here.

If you aspire to be an actor in India, this may be a good place to begin your journey.
