Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
I have grown up watching Bollywood films, watching Shah Rukh Khan's films. I am happy that I worked with him.
Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan were good dancers.
I have enjoyed doing some films as they were well written like 'Andaz Apna Apna,' 'Hera Pheri' and 'Cheeni Kum.' These films were high on the comedy quotient as the characters were creating a comic situation.
Most Hindi movies tend to dramatise events. They are very dialogue heavy. Characters don't speak like people normally do in real life.
I've grown up watching 'Mawaali,' 'Himmatwalla,' and my love for masala movies started from there, and ever since, there's no looking back.
As a child, I did watch some Hindi movies at home with Dad, but I didn't know who anyone was. I wasn't interested, honestly.
I love song and dance films in Bollywood.
I grew up watching Amitabh Bachchan's films.
I just love watching 'Andaz Apna Apna.' Every single time, I end up laughing so much that my jaws start hurting.
I grew up in Malaysia, and Bollywood is really big there. As a result, I've grown up watching a lot of Hindi movies.
Bollywood is a whole new ballgame.
Bollywood is treating me well.
I would love to work with Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Abishek Bachchan and a lot more... even Imran Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor are damn good with their acting.
Directing a Hindi movie for the first time was easy because Hindi films have been batwing doors for me since 1992.
Since the Indian film industry is one of the oldest, and I have grown up admiring all the movies, especially the classics starring Guru Dutt, I would love to work here.
'Mr. India' was a turning point. Before that, Hindi moviegoers saw me just as a glamour girl. After 'Mr. India,' they felt I could act.
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.
Bollywood is a strange world.
Let's be frank. In the South, people are not as enthusiastic about Hindi movies as their own.
It's nice to introduce Vidya Balan to the Tamil audience.
The first film that I saw of Shammi Kapoor was 'Bhramachari.' I instantly fell in love with the film and connected with Shammiji. His style was natural and unique.
Bollywood takes up a lot of time.
Ironically, I grew up watching Indian movies as a kid in Russia. I am quite familiar with Bollywood. I grew up watching 'Disco Dancer;' I watched it some 20 times as a kid.
'Devdas' is the first Hindi commercial film to be seen at Cannes. And 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' is getting a whole lot of appreciation abroad. I'm pleased.
