Amitabh Bachchan - Bollywood Music Enchants Western Audiences Amitabh Bachchan |
The Western world is now showing interest in Hindi films, just because of its dance and music - something that they ridiculed a few years ago. This was told by Amitabh Bachchan.
"We were ridiculed, and the West was very cynical about the way we made our films. The content, the songs, the dance, and the music were something that was kind of looked down upon many years ago.”
"But that very aspect has now become its USP, and people love to see that. I would expect that this is how and what our cinema is all about," Amitabh Bachchan said
Speaking about Hollywood and Bollywood collaborations, Amitabh Bachchan said: "I think this has got to do a lot more with economics rather than sharing creativity... Hollywood is very healthy in their finance they are using their money to invest in productions that are coming out of India. And in that respect, yes, holding hands with Hollywood companies or any other company is now becoming a routine."
Recently, bollywood has seen much international collaboration like "Singh Is King", which was produced by Warner Brothers and animated film "Roadside Romeo" that was financed by Disney.
Amitabh Bachchan himself will be sharing screen space with British actor Ben Kingsley in his forthcoming film "Teen Patti".
