Quotes
Bob Thompson
Producer of Bollywoof
“Audiences respond to great characters and a cast this good gives them to us in spades. It’s an absolute crowd-pleaser, but in today’s market that anecdotal evidence isn’t enough — the test screening results back it up, with top-two-box scores in the mid-90s.”

“The film is the first animation in the Western style to be set in contemporary India. We hope that ‘Bollywoof’ will become to India what ‘Ratatouille’ and ‘Coco’ are to France and Mexico.”

David is about to become one of the biggest stars in the world, Olivia is one of the finest actors of her generation, and every name in this cast brings something special to the film.”
