Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher wonders why great films on India are being made only by foreigners.
In Toronto for the premiere of Australian director Anthony Maras' debut feature film Hotel Mumbai based on the September 2008 terror attacks, Kher said: "This is fascinating that the film Gandhi was also made by a foreigner. Now this (Hotel Mumbai) film has also been made by a foreigner. Thank you, Anthony, for making this movie. This film is a tribute to everybody who has lost a dear one anywhere in the world."
Without naming the person, Kher said: "Somebody had made a film on it (Mumbai terror attacks), but it was atrocious. That person wanted to cash in on the tragedy."
