Mumbai: Actor Anupam Kher was on Wednesday appointed as the chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune.
The post remained vacant for at least seven months after Gajendra Chauhan demitted office in March this year following several controversies. He was appointed to the post in June 2015.
Students had opposed his appointment as FTII chairman, claiming that he was not fit for the job and got the position for being a BJP leader.
