John Travolta trooped in early on Sunday morning and was surprised with the warm welcome that awaited him at Mumbais Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. About 50 journalists and cameramen welcomed me to your country. It felt great, he says. Though it took just a few minutes to whisk him,his daughter,Ella,two sisters and their 16-member entourage to the waiting cars,he managed to make a few quick observations about the citys airport. A lot of activities were going around in there with flights taking off one after the other. It looked quite hectic, said the 56-year-old.
In Mumbai for a two-day tour to launch a collection of an international watch brand,Travolta met a few Bollywood denizens at an awards event where he
presented an award to Aamir Khan. He is aware of Khan,having watched Lagaan. Otherwise,the Hollywood actors exposure to Bollywood is limited to Slumdog Millionaire and Bride and Prejudice.
Hes optimistic about a possible Bolly-Holly synergy. Interestingly,he feels,Hollywood studios need Bollywood talents more than Indians need them. Your industry is financially independent and you guys have a great pool of talent. Your amazing filmmakers can really contribute to the world. In that sense,our studios need you guys more, he said.
When asked if he would be recreating his Saturday Night Fever jig with Akshay Kumar as the publicity campaign of Action
Replayy,he was non-committal. Well,Ive heard of something like this. But I havent committed to anything, said the Pulp Fiction star.
While Travolta was busy advertising his watch brand at the event,his family went around exploring the city. My daughter had a list of 10 places she wanted to see in Mumbai. She liked Mani Bhavan (which was the focal point of Mahatma Gandhis political activities in Mumbai), he said. His wife Kelly Preston could not travel with the family as she is expecting the couples third child.
