I can't believe all this is happening to me, but I am definitely here to stay. And I am happy to be in Indian cinema.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think I am feeling comfortable in Bollywood more than in Hollywood because I have spent more time here now and I am understanding a lot of things. I am feeling pretty good here. I really don't plan on running off anywhere.
I'm really excited about furthering my film career in Bollywood and Hollywood.
In a sense I feel very much a part of the cinema now in a way where when I come back to the theater now I feel like a visitor. The cinema is really what I enjoy. I want to do more independent movies.
I'm very used to being in India now and to working with actors and directors I'm comfortable with because I know them already.
I feel as though I would be delighted to come back into working in the film world, and working in the theater world again. I'm just gonna see what happens.
Even in Indian cinema, there is so much work that I have accepted because I'm comfortable and so much I have declined because I haven't been comfortable.
I am Indian, and my home is Kampala. My world is already diverse. But films are financed by those who want to see themselves on screen, and it is a white male world. Still, it does feel like America is waking up. Let's hope it's the start of an avalanche.
I hope to continue working in film, television and theatre.
Cinema should always be in touch with the soil of the country. My films celebrate the heartland of India.
Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.
