Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, who is now on a promotional spree for the last installment of his 'Mission: Impossible' franchise in India, has come out in the open with his unabashed appreciation for the Indian film industry and his wish to feature in a Hindi movie.
While on the international promotional tour for 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning,' Tom spoke about his fondness for Indian culture, films, and people and reminisced about some fond memories of his visits.
I love India so much. India is such an incredible country, people, and culture. I must say the entire experience has been ingrained in my memory. Every moment. From when I arrived, visiting the Taj Mahal, and hanging out in Mumbai, I recall every minute very clearly," he said.
Tom continued to speak about his love for Bollywood, stating, "I would like to return to India and direct a film there. I love Bollywood movies, the talent that it requires you to do what you all do is so second nature. I love it when in a scene somebody suddenly bursts into song. I love it. It's something that I have grown up watching, musicals from other countries. I love Bollywood films. You can just burst into a song, it's so lovely. I love the dancing, singing, the actors. That is such a special experience and work of the actors to be able to sing, dance, and act.
He also explained how much he is looking forward to going back to India, citing the friends he made there. The actor reminisced about meeting "such fantastic people" while in the nation.
"I would love to create a Bollywood-style film. It would be so cool and fantastic to do that. I enjoy the singing and dancing (in Indian films), it would be so cool to do that," he further said.
In the meantime, 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' has already been released in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, on offer in 4Dx and IMAX formats—six days prior to its US opening.
