Will Smith on his Bollywood dreams 


Will Smith was speaking to Gulf News on the red carpet of his show. Recalling past conversations with Bollywood celebrities, he said, “I was talking to Salman. We had things we were discussing. I was trying to get into something with Big B, you know. He told me I could be Big W, so we were cool- we were sharing the title.
