Akshay and Pankaj Dheer’s friendship goes back right from Akshay’s first film. They share a strong and emotional bond and out of this emotional bond Akshay willing agreed to inaugurate the academy. They have worked in six movies together including ‘Ikke pe Ikka’ and ‘Mr.Bond’.
The event started at 8 am at the Academy itself, which is situated in Jogeshwari.

By opening an acting academy, Mr. Dheer has fulfilled his dream. “I strongly feel that the need of the hour is to have an acting school that will not only teach the technical aspects but also make one understand life, people, emotions and relationships. Acting is supposed to revolve around ‘Navras, a method of teaching that is long forgotten. Exploring the ‘Navras’ is the essence of our teaching. This is what Abbhinnay Acting Academy is all about.”
