Hollywood has never been on her agenda but Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan says she wants to share the frame with her idol Meryl Streep and maybe also explore working in Korean dramas.
The actor was addressing a session at the NDTV World Summit 2024 - The India Century on Tuesday.
"Language is not a barrier today. I have never really pursued any dreams of going to Hollywood. It has never been on my agenda. But never say never.
"I'm a huge fan of Meryl Streep, I'd want to stand in the same frame as her. Anything is possible. Who knows, maybe, a Korean film? I'd love to explore K-dramas, everyone's watching them," Kareena said at the event.
There is a "huge craze and respect" for Indian movies globally, said the actor who shot her last release "The Buckingham Murders" in the UK.
"Our films are true to our culture and heritage. They are authentic. We love our song and dance, drama, action and our films are enjoyed in our languages. That's also what sets us apart.
"We enjoy Korean and French cinema, but we still enjoy dancing to 'Naatu Naatu' at the Oscars stage," said the actor, referring to the live stage performance of international dancers on the hit Telugu track which won the best original song Oscar last year.
From praising her "Crew" co-star and Punjabi singing sensation Diljit Dosanjh for putting India on "global billboards" to praising "Laapataa Ladies" as India's official Oscars entry, Kareena said she wants people to watch more Indian films in Indian languages.
"Diljit is true to his roots... 'Laapataa Ladies', a journey of two women, has put India and its stories on the map. Our films are being watched in Indian languages. Our language is very easy to understand. You would understand our films so much more via OTT which have subtitles. I'd like to say try watching our films in our language and enjoy them," she added.
