You might see me in Bollywood: Dwayne

Dwayne Johnson loves the world of Bollywood and doesn’t rule out working in a Bollywood film someday. “I wouldn’t rule that out. I have a lot of respect for Bollywood and the history of Bollywood,” Dwayne said, while promoting his upcoming film Jumanji: The Next Level.

Referring to Varun Dhawan with whom he has had interactions on social media, Dwayne said: “He is such a big fan. I’ve interacted with him before on social media. And I know, he is a big star in India… Yeah, so maybe one day, you never know, you could see me in a Bollywood action movie. That’d be a lot of fun because I know that we have a lot of wonderful fans in India, and we have talked about that.”

The wrestler-turnedactor, who is still popular for his wrestling persona of ‘The Rock’, is a box-office superstar, an author and a fast growing entrepreneur. At the moment, he is looking forward to the release of the second part of revamped Jumanji franchise, which is titled Jumanji: The Next Level,

to which he is attached as a producer as well.

The world of Chris Van Allsburg’s book Jumanji, narrating the story of a young Alan Parrish getting trapped in a board game, found its way to the silver screen in 1995. Late Robin Williams was its main lead.

From getting lost in the transit, tackling monkeys and battling other odds, the movie revolved around how Parrish gets stuck in the board game and comes back as an adult, and how he has to finish the game with his friends to escape the fate he called upon himself by rolling the dice.

In 2017, the story came back on the big screen with a modern twist. In Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, a group of high school students gets lost in the jungle after laying their hands on a video game console featuring a version of the game Jumanji.

Despite glossing up the story with a digital touch, the makers retained the essence of the tale as well as the magical elements. And they will be back with more chaotic fun and another adventurous ride to the jungle with Jumanji: The Next Level. New additions to the cast include Awkwafina, Danny Devito and Danny Glover.
