If you want to go to a world party, you got to wear a tuxedo
While the east-west trade of actors continues, when asked if he too is aspired to make a move to Bushland, Shahrukh said, I am going to be completely honest about this one. It isnt like Spielberg is waiting at Mannat with offers. But thats perfectly okay with me, neither am I dying to play a butler in a Bond film he quipped.
But ask him if Indian cinema can be a global player and he says, Yes and No. Left with a perplexed expression? He explains better, I think we shouldnt change our song-and-dance, because that is unique to us and we shouldnt let go off that. Our emotional content is pretty strong too, so that stays. But its high time that we tell better stories, the pattern has to change. Also the technology has great scope for improvement he points out.
We have got to change the way we dress. By which I mean, our films have got to get shorter. A global audiences easily tires of a 3 hour saga. Besides, we shouldnt shut our eye to the fact that Hollywood has screenplays which are scientifically very sound; we on our side have a few loose ends there. Having said that; I believe that our Aamirs and Ashs are no less that them. And this is something I strongly I strongly believe he states.
But you also got to understand that we live in a yuppie world. Its a business world, so you got to change your garb. Its like, if you want to go to a world party, you got to wear a tuxedo, Gandhis dhoti wont do! he leaves you with a wisecrack.
