Of course, I follow Bollywood. In fact, it's widely followed in Brazil.
I don't look at Hollywood as a big break. Indian film stands on its own.
If people ever stop making films about India, I'd never work again.
Cinema in India is growing big time and people abroad have started recognising us.
Bollywood is there; the film industry is thriving, and it's huge, and it's everywhere. Anytime I travel abroad and I say I'm an actor from India, they're like, 'Oh, Bollywood!' And I say, 'Umm, not yet!'
Who doesn't know about Bollywood? After all, we churn out movies in such great quantities every year! People across the globe know Shekhar Kapur.
India uses Bollywood, rather cinema, to tell its stories. It is one of the largest filmmaking nations in the world and so your talents get to tell stories about politics, love and drama through films.
The fact is I've always been such a big Bollywood fan, from the time I was very young. I remember I'd watch new Bollywood films every Thursday night on a video cassette.
India as a film-making nation has gained recognition, at last, at most important Western and Far Eastern forums.
There have been a bunch of Indian films in English that found an audience.
Unfortunately, I know very little about Indian cinema. I know we have Bollywood... But my knowledge about it is very little.
