Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan is all set for the release of his upcoming movie, Hindi Medium which stars none other than our very own Pakistani diva, Saba Qamar. The duo has been winning hearts since the teasers and behind-the-scene shots have surfaced over the internet.

In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror the Hindi Medium actor spoke about the difference between Hollywood and Bollywood in terms of talent appreciation.

Irrfan has worked in Hollywood films and believes the West is able to interpret talent while the east is scared of the competition.

Talking about the difference in the West and Bollywood he says,

“While the West is alert by talent, Bollywood is threatened by it. Naseer saab (Naseeruddin Shah) is the one of those rare actors who celebrates talent, for others, they’ve to fit into the existing machinery. Anything new is frowned upon!”

Comparing the Bollywood industry to Hollywood, Irrfan who is quite close to his roots has worked for various Hollywood films while other big names in B-town have not yet received this chance. Explaining this Khan explains,

“That’s because in Hollywood it’s not about language, it’s the variety and diversity you bring to a role”

The on-going tensions between India and Pakistan after the Uri attack led to a ban on Pakistani artists working India. Saba Qamar is the lead actress in Irfan’s next movie and he believes new talent benefits the Indian film industry instead of threatening it.

“I wouldn’t want to discuss politics but it baffles me how after your film is cleared by a government body, certain groups are allowed to disrespect law and order. Inn logon ko mudda banane ki chhut kyun di jaati hai?
