Akshay opines
During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Akshay spoke about Hollywood taking inspiration from Indian mythology. He shared his views when he was asked whether all the stories present in the country were getting a stage or a medium to be shared.
Following this, Akshay shared that varied stories are present in the country. Akshay said, “There are so many stories here, and I personally believe that Hollywood takes a lot from our stories. Their superheroes and their superpowers are all inspired by our mythology. The kind of stories we have is unbelievable, like I didn’t know the story behind Kannappa before the film.”
To this, Vishnu shared that he also feels that Star Wars has been inspired “by Mahabharat”. He also claimed that ET was also inspired by a script written by Satyajit Ray. It seems he was referring to the time when, back in 1982, upon the release of Steven Spielberg's ET, it was thought that he had actually plagiarised Satyajit Ray's The Alien.
