  • Hollywood Is Given Too Much Hype, Says Abhishek Bachchan
His father made his international film debut with "The Great Gatsby", and his wife has acted in multiple international films like "The Pink Panther 2" and "The Last Legion". But actor Abhishek Bachchan feels Indians give a lot of hype to Hollywood.
 
Abhishek, who was here on Wednesday to promote his upcoming film "Housefull 3" along with his co-stars Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Lisa Haydon and Jacqueline Fernandez, said there is instead a huge demand for Indian films globally.
 
Asked if he is interested in featuring in a Hollywood film, Abhishek told IANS: "There is a lot hype given to Hollywood. English is just a language and nothing else. Today there is a huge demand of Hindi films globally. People from Hollywood are coming and doing item numbers and films."
 
Akshay added that he has no interest in Hollywood and is busy doing a Tamil film titled "2.0", along with superstar Rajinikanth. Directed by Shankar, the film is a sequel to the blockbuster “Enthiran” 
 
"I am doing a Tamil film. I have no interest in Hollywood," Akshay added.
 
Directed by Sajid-Farhad, "Houseful 3" also stars Nargis Fakhri and is slated to hit the theatres on June 3.
