New
Delhi:
Actor
Jackie
Chan
says
that
India
is
the
world's
largest
film
producing
nation
and
China
is
globally
the
second
largest
film
market.
They
must
collaborate
to
make
movies
and
exchange
culture
more
often.
Singing
and
dancing
in
a
Bollywood
film
is
also
on
his
wish-list!
In
the
capital
to
inaugurate
the
Chinese
Film
Festival,
jointly
organised
by
the
India-China
Economic
and
Cultural
Council
in
association
with
both
India
and
China,
Jackie
Chan
was
happy
with
the
warm
reception
from
his
fans.
Such
initiatives
-
film
festivals,
cultural
exchange
programmes
and
music
events
-
will
'definitely'
help
the
nations
in
improving
relations,
he
said.
"There
are
(many)
productions,
studios
and
directors,
you
can
hire
some
of
the
Chinese
stars
-
actors,
actresses
to
act
in
the
movies
or
find
some
Chinese
location
(for
your
films)," Chan
told
IANS
in
an
interview.
He
cited
his
experience
of
working
with
Bollywood
actress
Mallika
Sherawat
in
the
2005
martial
arts-based
fantasy
adventure
film
"The
Myth".
"I
worked
with
Mallika
because
there
was
a
scope
for
something
Indian
(in
the
film)...
(For
Indian
element)
we
know
we
need
to
come
to
India.
But
yes,
I've
always
known
India
is
a
big
market
for
films,
and
I
believe
we
should
collaborate
for
culture,
music,
movies,
and
everything," he
added.
Chan
came
on
a
two-day
visit
to
India,
accompanied
by
actors
Mengyu
Zhang
and
Xingtong
Yao,
as
well
as
Cai
Fuchao,
Chaina's
minister
of
State
Administration
of
Press,
Publication,
Radio,
Film
and
Television.
Information
and
Broadcasting
Minister
Manish
Tewari
held
delegation
level
talks
with
his
visiting
Chinese
counterpart
Cai
Fuchao
here
Tuesday
to
work
out
ways
to
screen
more
Indian
films
in
China,
and
to
discuss
film
co-production
possibilities.
Chan,
a
global
action
star,
admits
he
has
been
offered
Bollywood
movies
in
recent
years.
"There
are
Bollywood
directors
who
want
to
hire
me
and
they
want
to
make
a
movie,
and
also
they
want
me
to
help
them
to
make
a
movie
in
China.
But
because
of
the
script,
I
didn't
really
like
it,
so
we
didn't
make
the
deal!
But
I
really
hope
someday
I
can
make
one
Bollywood
movie,
singing,
dancing...
that's
what
I
want," he
said
with
a
childlike
innocence.
He
also
wants
to
be
instrumental
in
taking
a
bit
of
different
cultures
from
around
the
world,
including
from
India,
to
his
homeland.
"Actually,
I
should
come
to
India
to
bring
more
Indian
culture
to
China.
Like
for
'Chinese
Zodiac',
I
went
to
(shoot
in)
Paris.
So,
I
want
to
bring
back
other
cultures
to
China,"
he
said.
Recalling
The
Myth,
he
added:
"It
had
Indian
culture
and
Indian
action.
When
I
showed
it
in
China,
people
said,
'Oh
wow!
Now
that's
something
new!'"
He
admits
being
"pretty
lucky"
to
have
the
"money
to
travel
around
the
world
and
to
make
something
that
brings
different
cultures
to
China".
As
for
India,
it
intrigues
and
interests
him,
with
its
"locations"
more
than
anything
else,
apart
from
the
love
he
receives
everytime
he
comes
here.
