Gurinder Chadha is set to bring her British musical comedy, Christmas Karma, to Indian theatres on December 12. Ahead of its release, the filmmaker screened the Kunal Nayyar-starrer for her friends in the Hindi film industry. So, when we met her, we couldn’t help but ask if she had plans to make a Bollywood film. The bad news is that she doesn’t have an immediate plan, but the good news is that she already has an inspiration, should she make one.

“I enjoyed Rocky Aur Rani [Kii Prem Kahaani, 2023]. I even messaged Karan [Johar, director], saying, ‘Karan, I spent 13 pounds to see your film. I loved it.’ He sent me a voice note thanking me. I would be happy to do something like that. But I always have some Western panga [in my films]. So, I will put that in the story,” she laughed.
