Hollywood star Russell Crowe is happy to come to India if there's something interesting that comes his way, says veteran Indian actress Shabana Azmi, who was part of a jury with him for the 7th Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards.
The actress was a member of the Grand Jury for Best Asian Film at the gala here. It was chaired by actor Crowe.
"Russel Crowe says he goes where work takes him and is happy to come to India if there is something for him to do," Shabana tweeted.

She also tagged Anupama Chopra, the festival director of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, perhaps in a bid to draw her attention to the possibility of inviting Crowe.
Actress Sakshi Tanwar was present to collect the award. She gave the Australian actor a hug and they also posed for a picture.
