Tom Hopper, renowned for his roles in iconic series such as Game of Thrones and The Umbrella Academy, has expressed a keen interest in venturing into Indian cinema.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Tom shared his enthusiasm for Bollywood, revealing his desire to be part of the vibrant film industry. “Yes, yes, absolutely, I do follow Indian cinema. I actually would love to make a Bollywood movie. I think it would be so much fun because they are absolutely gnarly,”
Tom said. He added, “I’ve got a lot of Indian friends and I’ve learned a little bit about Bollywood movies from them. I think that’s a whole world that many of us in the West don’t tap into. Why don’t we go over there and try to get into Bollywood movies? It would be amazing.”
Currently, Tom is preparing for the release of his upcoming project, Space Cadet, where he stars alongside Emma Roberts, Gabrielle Union, and Poppy Liu. The film, written and directed by Liz W. Garcia (known for Purple Hearts and The Sinner), is a comedy that celebrates the power of being oneself, following one’s dreams, and aiming for the stars.
