SSFA is also envisioned to grow into a broader creative ecosystem, with future programmes in screenwriting, direction, cinematography, music production, and post-production, as read in a press note.

Speaking on the launch, Shekhar Suman said, "For me, this academy is not just an institution. It is a very personal way of giving back to the craft that has given me everything. Over the years, acting has taught me discipline, imagination, resilience, and the importance of truth in performance. And with SSFA (Shekhar Suman Film Academy), where I have personally designed and curated the acting course, and overseen every detail beyond it, I hope to pass that learning forward to the next generation of actors. Through this academy, I hope to create something that goes beyond training and becomes a true creative journey for every student who walks in."
