Freida Pinto's latest project Netflix's Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle has brought together Hollywood and Bollywood.
The film features a Hollywood voice-over cast and Bollywood stars dubbing it in Hindi.
In her interview with PTI, she said, "People are more interested in knowing what's happening in India with Sacred Games or what other stories can come from here that can translate to the rest of the world and not just America. Whereas before, Indian movies were just made for India, Indian TV series was just made for India and probably a little bit of Middle East and Morocco but not for the globe."
"What is beautiful that I'm seeing now is that it's not really so much about the bridge with artistes, it's the bridge with stories. I think it's the stories that are now connecting the two worlds," added the Slumdog Millionaire actor.
Pinto was eager to work in the film owing to her childhood memories associated with Mowgli, and called up the film's team for a role.
