"I am using my success in Bollywood to do what Bolly won't do,"said Oberoi."These are different stories from those people are used to seeing, a different way of seeing things, and it is not all about making money."
Oberoi, 35, was born into Bollywood royalty, the son of acclaimed actor Suresh Oberoi. He has made more than 20 films, bursting onto the scene with a multi-award-winning role in the gangster thriller"Company"(2003).
Oberoi's first feature in his new role as a producer is"Watch Indian Circus", which had its world premiere this week at the 16th Busan International Film Festival. The movie is competing for the festival's main New Currents award.
"Watch Indian Circus"-- directed by Mangesh Hadawale -- follows the fortunes of an impoverished couple who dream of one day being able to afford to take their children to the circus.Set against the backdrop of a corrupt local election, the film at its core is an often hilarious celebration of the human spirit. Tickets to screenings have been among the hottest items going in Busan this week.
"I think this film symbolizes the true spirit of India,"said Oberoi."It's not just the excitement of a cricket triumph or the madness of Bollywood."The real face is 70 million people living below the poverty line and still able to smile every day. It is a unique culture that has a faith in divine destiny and an ability to smile.
