Progress begins in the mind, says Madhupal

Actor Madhupal emphasizes progressive thinking for personal empowerment and the importance of cinema as a serious study medium.

Actor Madhupal has urged students and teachers to think progressively. “The real progress begins in the mind,” he said while addressing a seminar during the ongoing international conference ‘Amalit’ at Amal College of Advanced Studies, Nilambur, on Friday.

The actor suggested changing the basic thought from ‘I” to ‘we’ as a method of personal empowerment. He said cinema should not be viewed merely as a medium of entertainment; rather it should be a medium of serious study.
