There must be many among you who would be dreaming of becoming a hero or a director or a well known music director. Given that, is it really important to have training? Will that be sufficient to ensure you start getting opportunities in the industry? Well, here are few thoughts.

Different forms of debate are there because some are coming without proper training and making it big and there are those with full training but no proper opportunities. While training ensures that you already have some idea about what you are dealing with, it doesn’t guarantee opportunities.

The key element to be really successful in film industry is that stroke of luck and the ability to recognize an opportunity and exploit it. Training gives you that extra edge in terms of knowledge but one needs to have a mix of everything in order to make a mark here. Please note!
