South Asian filmmakers, media watchers and viewers in the US are all agog about the mega-million deal between Indian business tycoon Anil Ambani and American filmmaking icon Steven Spielberg that they hope would one day bridge Hollywood and Bollywood.
Under the deal inked last month, Ambani's Reliance Big Entertainment would provide $825-million funding for Steven Spielberg's Dreamworks Studios to make six films a year for global audiences.
"It can only help bridge the gap between the world's two biggest film industries," said indie filmmaker Anurag Mehta, best known for writing and directing "American Chai" about an Indian-American college boy who pursues his rock n' roll dreams.
