The Odyssey: Tom Holland and Matt Damon, stars of the upcoming film 'The Odyssey', have expressed a desire to work in Bollywood. They also discussed how Indian films are perceived abroad.
Stars from Hollywood like Matt Damon and Tom Holland have been promoting their upcoming film called The Odyssey. Recently, the two went to India and got impressed with the country. According to the two, they love Indian movies and would be happy to make films in Bollywood if the right script comes up.
In a conversation with 'India Today', Tom Holland discussed the possibility of working in Indian cinema. He said, "If there were a way for me to deepen my connection with you all through a Bollywood or Indian film, I would certainly jump at the opportunity."
The actors then discussed how Indian films are often perceived in the West. Bollywood is frequently viewed through the lens of song, dance, and grandeur. Damon believes this is precisely what makes it special. He feels his co-star is up to the challenge.
Damon added, "We were just saying that we want to do a Bollywood film. Tom could actually pull it off because he’s an amazing dancer, and I’d give it a try."
The Oscar-winning actor further mentioned that he is drawn to the energy found in Bollywood's grand musical numbers. He also acknowledged that Bollywood respects actors capable of delivering diverse performances-something not always seen in Hollywood. 'The Odyssey' also features Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Travis Scott, Charlize Theron, and Elliot Page. The film will be released in theaters on July 17.
