Simu Liu is fan of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, compares Barbie to Bollywood: ‘It blew me away’

Speaking to the website, Simu Liu said that he was mind-blown by the historical fiction. “RRR this year was so phenomenal. It was absolutely incredible. And, it blew me away.”

He then compared the Bollywood brand of cinema with Barbie and said there are a lot of similarities between the two. “There’s, you know, just the focus on musicality. There’s such music, songs like singing and dancing, like, you know, the actors are, are performing and they’re singing and there have to be such triple threats and yeah, I feel like, um, you know, I feel like it’s such a natural thing for an actor to look at Bollywood and to want to participate.”

Liu also said that he is keen on working in a Bollywood film and dancing to a song in the film.

Simu Liu is playing one of the versions of Ken in Barbie. Ken is a fictional doll and the male counterpart of Barbie. Apart from Ryan Gosling, actors John Cena and Scott Evans are also playing different versions of Ken in the film. However, Ryan will be playing the main Ken while Margot Robbie will be playing the titular role.

Barbie will clash with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer at the box office on July 21 across the world.
