In terms of script, Bollywood should learn from South Indian scripts. Not talking about the fights and action, I am talking about the drama bit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What Bollywood lacks is scripts. A lot of the films are copies of western films.
I have done many films across the globe and would love to be a part of Bollywood, but the script must have a strong character for me.
India needs better producers than screenwriters. No producer wants to invest in out-of-the way scripts.
There is more to Indian cinema than just Bollywood. I think regional cinema, especially Tamil and Marathi cinema, are exploring some really bold themes.
At the end of the day, we always show that truth triumphs. We don't leave the movie in the middle saying, 'Great, pick whatever you want to and go out there and do something wrong'. Bollywood is not the only influence in a person's life. They are also affected by their family and friends.
Several southern actors are coming to Mumbai. Likewise, many Bollywood actors are appearing down South or borrowing ideas from southern films.
In India, the films are not looked upon just as entertainment. They're a way of life.
I worked in SRK and Salman Khan's films as a child artiste, so Bollywood has always been on my radar.
People talk about Bollywood being very kitsch, and just songs and dances, and over the top and colorful.
Scripts didn't exist during my time in Bollywood, or, at least, I was never given one. I don't want to act at all and am happy in my cave.
