Will Smith reveals projects with Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan didn’t materialise; hopes Shah Rukh Khan will cast him in Bollywood film : Bollywood News

Hollywood star Will Smith has openly expressed his interest in working in Bollywood, revealing that several potential collaborations with Indian film icons were discussed over the years, but ultimately did not materialise. Speaking at the premiere of his National Geographic series Pole to Pole with Will Smith in Dubai, the Oscar-winning actor shared insights into his long-standing admiration for Indian cinema and his desire to be part of it.

Will Smith reveals projects with Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan didn’t materialise; hopes Shah Rukh Khan will cast him in Bollywood filmDuring his interaction with the press on the red carpet, Will said that he had previously been in talks about working with Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, two of Bollywood’s biggest stars. “I was talking to Salman. We had things we were talking about. I was trying to get into something with Big B, you know. He told me I could be Big W, so we were cool — we were sharing the title,” he said with a smile, referring to his discussions with Bachchan. “There were a couple of things over the years… nothing panned out.”

Despite those earlier talks not resulting in a project, Smith made it clear that his interest in Indian cinema has continued. He specifically called out Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood’s most internationally recognised stars, and expressed a wish to be cast opposite him. “I want Shah Rukh to put me in something, Shah Rukh what’s up,” he said, delivering the line with characteristic humour.

Shah Rukh Khan, meanwhile, is currently working on his highly anticipated action thriller King, directed by Siddharth Anand and slated for release later this year. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan, marking a significant project in the megastar’s career.

Will Smith is also promoting his own new project: the Pole to Pole with Will Smith series, which follows him on a 100-day journey involving extreme challenges and adventures as he explores life’s big questions. The show is set to premiere on National Geographic on January 13.
