Bollywood films with Malaysian actors Coming Very Soon

Malaysian government officials may not under Hindi but they are keen to do some joint ventures so that Malaysian actors can take part in Bollywood movies. It will help the Malaysian actors to get a wider exposure in the world stage. More than that it will open a new front for Malaysian businessmen to earn money.

Malaysian Sun wrote:

Bollywood, India's most lucrative cultural export, has caught the fancy of Malaysia which now wants to jointly produce song-and-dance extravaganzas with a multi-cultural cast and crew from both countries.

None other than Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi spoke fondly about Bollywood in his talks with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the India-ASEAN summit here.

'Malaysia has offered to jointly produce Bollywood films with India. The Malaysian prime minister said that actors and actresses don't understand Hindi, but they like to hum Bollywood songs and dance to the beats of Hindi music,' Commerce Minister Kamal Nath told reporters here.

Bollywood producers and directors should celebrate this news. It will give them a better access to the Malaysian market. Malaysia is one of the richest Asian countries now and its market will help Bollywood movies to earn money. A completely win-win situation for India and Malaysia.
