Steven Spielberg a Mumbai

Reliance Entertainment ha organizzato un evento imperdibile, svoltosi ieri sera a Mumbai, che ha riunito sotto lo stesso tetto in un colpo solo un nutrito numero di registi indiani, accorsi ad ascoltare la conversazione fra Amitabh Bachchan e Steven Spielberg. Ne cito alcuni: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Shyam Benegal, Rajkumar Hirani, Madhur Bhandarkar, Anurag Kashyap, Ashutosh Gowariker, Kunal Kohli, Nagesh Kukunoor, Sudhir Mishra, Zoya Akhtar, R. Balki e Vikramaditya Motwane. 
Vi segnalo l'articolo Steven Spielberg’s close encounter with Bollywood, di Nyay Bhushan, pubblicato ieri da The Hollywood Reporter:
'Bachchan then asked Spielberg if he had any questions for the Indian film fraternity present. Spielberg took the chance to do a spot poll and asked how many directors present did action movies (not too many hands went up), comedies (some hands) and musicals (the hall erupted in laughter given Bollywood is driven by song and dance). “I’d like to know what kind of movies are made, not just Bollywood. Is there freedom here for different genres?” asked Spielberg. “It is getting better,” replied Sudhir Mishra. “Audiences are also changing and there is a new breed of directors, and many of them are in this room. And even mainstream cinema is changing.” As Mishra pointed to director Raju Hirani, known for the superhit comedy 3 Idiots, Spielberg said, “Yes, I saw it - I loved it”.'
