"I guarantee you that I will most certainly be here. But, not as someone who is going to teach, but I would like to be here as a student, because I am sure there will be a lot for me to learn from the kind of curriculum that has been designed by the Advisory Board. I want to tell all the students that are going to be joining this academy that Ramesh ji is a great motivator, a wonderful technician, a teacher who takes care of his students, who takes care of the artists on the sets. He will provide you a perfect atmosphere before enacting any sequence, he will sit with you, he will talk to you, he will describe, he will ask you questions, he will take some of your words of inspiration, whatever you felt about the scene, he will discuss it, debate it and on most occasions, incorporate it according to what the artist may have said. These are wonderful qualities and I feel this only goes in the making of better cinema. I think this great initiative is going to go a long way, as a very important element for cinema in our country, and to make this country, which is the largest movie making nation in the entire world, also become the largest earner of export in a sense. The initials of the academy read RSACE. There is already an ACE in this academy and I am sure Ramesh Sippy will live up to it."
