In any case, a large portion of us knows Indian movies from the dream of Bollywood musicals... They don't reveal to us any profound comprehension of your way of life and your qualities," said Bailey, who is in Mumbai alongside his significant other Carol Littleton.

"Everything I can say is that no we don't know Indian film and it's not totally our flaw since I think India needs to accomplish more to make the movies that tell the world your identity. Ensure those are the movies that get seen the world over," he included.

India makes up to 1,800 motion pictures a year, which is multiple quantities of times that we make (Hollywood) in the US. It's a superb thought... Mumbai would be such a solid association with all of South-East Asia. It bodes well," Bailey said.

"The Academy isn't an organization or an enterprise... The motivation to have an office anyplace depends on the administrations the Academy can give to the enrollment. In this way, the way to having an office in Mumbai or in India is having the option to support the individuals and the network and extend the effort. A year ago, the Academy acknowledged 928 new individuals from 56 nations... The Academy isn't only a Hollywood air pocket," he included.
