MUMBAI: Ekta Kapoor is all set to open a branch of her media school - Institute of Creative Excellence (ICE) - in Bangalore. The institute is already running in Mumbai and Delhi.

"Almost 15 per cent of total applications to our Mumbai institute come from South and since Bangalore is the hub of South India, we decided to open up a training set up there," ICE CEO Anurag Gupta said.

"In the recent past, Bangalore has nurtured models who are very successful in Media & Entertainment Industry today. Keeping that in mind we would be conducting modeling, dance and young filmmakers program directed at children in our Bangalore facility," he said.

ICE covers specialisations in acting, modeling, cinematography, direction, editing, production, scriptwriting, sound and visual effects.
