The Australian actor further said, "Indian cinema is huge and is popular in Australia. People over there know about Bollywood. They are inspired by Bollywood films."
About the city, Jackman said, "It's just been 24 hours since I arrived here in Mumbai but I feel I am here for a week. It is the most amazing city and country. I and my wife always wanted to come to Mumbai. People are incredible, the place is amazing, the history, the spirituality and everything. I just love it."
