Give him the part of an investigative journalist in The Railway Men (2023), or an IAS hopeful in Aspirants (2021), Sunny Hinduja has a knack for effortlessly slipping into diverse roles. Is such command over the art entirely instinctive? Far from that. The actor, in fact, attributes it to his years at the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII). “Training is the foundation of any actor’s career. It not only hones our skills but also instils discipline and dedication. I’m immensely proud to have been a part of FTII, a revered institution that has produced some of the finest talents in Indian cinema,” beams Hinduja, who graduated in 2008.
If one looks closely, the 2008 batch has given Bollywood some of its finest actors today—from Rajkummar Rao to Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma. Hinduja naturally feels a sense of pride to see his batchmates earn their place on the silver screen. He says, “From mainstream cinema to independent projects, their contribution is remarkable. At the same time, they are also enriching Indian cinema with their compelling acts.”
