The mantra in Bollywood is no more about learning on the job, but coming prepared before the director calls "action". Newcomers venturing into the industry believe they must have a sound understanding of their craft, even technically.
Raj Kumar Yadav, who played Adarsh in Dibakar Banerjee's Love Sex aur Dhoka, said: "As competition is tough in the industry it gives a boost to an individual when you are technically sound and that is what filmmakers are looking for."
"It is better to have ample knowledge before venturing into any stream. It is one of the greatest requirements of every industry. Personally, I have done theatre and a course from FTII (Film and Television Institute of India, Pune) which helped me face the camera. It made me feel comfortable as I had technical knowledge," he said.
