Ahead of the release of 'Bharat Ane Nenu', Kiara Advani has an institution to thank.  It's the acting school in which she learned the ropes.  As Anupam Kher's Acting Prepares awaits the release of 'BAN' opposite Superstar Mahesh Babu, Kiara profusely thanks her alma mater.

"Thankyou @actorprepares for the love and support!! My journey wouldn’t have been the same without you’ll! I hope you’ll love the film," Kiara tweets out.  'BAN' is her Telugu debut.  She had done 'MS Dhoni' in Hindi before this film.

She is also upbeat about the film's song on her name.  "For the first time I have a song based on the name of my character in the film.. O Vasumathiiiiiii.  Hope you enjoy this one!" she says.  'BAN' will hit the screens on April 20.
