Glover spoke almost in a whisper, applauding Bollywood for its strong storytelling tradition, and wished he could find a role in a Bollywood film. Backstage, he told a few admirers that he loves films that speak from the heart and deal with social problems, and his understanding is that Indian films take a pride in doing so.
Hirani, currently shooting Munna Bhai Chale Amrika, disclosed that he wrote much of the three scripts in Ohio, home of his co-writer Abhijit Joshi who teaches English in a college there.
At the end of the evening, you could debate the real scene-stealer, Bipasha or Vivek Oberoi? At one point of Vivek's performance, he disappeared from the stage and a few minutes later, entered through one of the back entrances, on a trolley rolling through the aisles, followed by over a dozen dancing young women hired by the organisers. What a finale.
