While this is a cool photo-op, I hope our actors focus on bringing more original stories to the global stage, not just sequels and remakes. The meeting is fun, but the real win will be unique Indian cinema getting international acclaim.

Interesting cultural moment. Depp is a global icon, and Aaryan represents a new wave of Bollywood. The "Pirates of the Red Sea" caption was clever. These festivals are crucial for cross-pollination of ideas in the film industry.
