If actors from the Indian film industry are excited to work in Hollywood, stars from the West are equally excited with the prospect of working in a Bollywood film. American actor Melissa McCarthy, who is known for films such as Bridesmaids (2011) and St. Vincent (2014) recently told us that working in a Bollywood film will be “dreamy” for her.

“Oh my God, yes! Are you kidding? Uh, that would be amazing. I would love to work in an Indian film! That would be dreamy,” said Melissa, adding: “Honestly, I don’t know if I could do it, but in my head and in my heart, Oh my God I would want that so much... yeah, I would absolutely love that.”

Melissa, who will soon be seen in the upcoming reboot of the popular film franchise Ghostbusters, also spoke about running into her Spy co-star, Bollywood actor Nargis Fakhri at a recently-concluded award ceremony in the US.

“I just saw her the other day at the MTV Movie Awards in California. We had so much fun working in Spy and I hadn’t seen her since then. So it was nice to see her again. She was like flying right back to India only I guess. She had some crazy schedule and I wish we could have spent some more time together,” says Melissa.
