After acting in Chinese and Hollywood films, actor Michelle Yeoh has now set her sights on Bollywood, reports Hindustan Times.
The Malaysian-Chinese star, who shot to international fame with her roles in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), is now looking forward to producing a mainstream film in India. This development follows Yeoh’s recent release, Pad Yatra: A Green Odyssey, for which she is an executive producer.
‘We are thinking of a movie that is based in Ladakh, Nepal and India. We’re in the process of writing the script. It will be a mainstream commercial film,’ says Yeoh. So will we see her shake a leg, Bollywood-style, in the movie? ‘I think I have to brush up my singing and dancing and hopefully you will see me in Bollywood soon,’ she says.
The actor goes on to profess her love for Hindi cinema saying, ‘I love Bollywood. This is the place where tradition, colour and emotions are shown. You share your culture with love and passion. For me, cinema is magic and that is what you do.’ With such a stellar acting career, Yeoh will not be short of offers from Bollywood film-makers, but when asked if there’s a queue of directors already forming outside her door, she says, ‘I will have to start talking to some Bollywood directors.’
Yeoh’s latest film has a message on environmentalism.
