Amid reports that a faction of BJP party leaders was plotting to exclude him from the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, actor - politician Suresh Gopi has found himself in a real quandary regarding whether to accept the nomination as the president of the Kolkata-based Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) society and chairman of its governing council for a three-year term.
Sources close to the actor revealed that he was conflicted about accepting this role at the premier autonomous academic institution under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB).
Mr. Gopi learned about the appointment through the media when Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur congratulated him and shared the news on the microblogging site X (formerly Twitter). Mr. Thakur also praised his “vast experience and cinematic brilliance, which will surely enrich this esteemed institute.”
