Hinting at a potential Hollywood venture, Atlee shared a recent update, expressing his dream within the next three years. He told ABP News, “I have been genuine to my promise. I have kept my responsibility the same. In future, if I ever make a Hollywood film, I will do the same.” He added, “Yes, it’s happening. It took me eight years to reach Bollywood… maybe in the next three years, you will see something there with a great announcement. I am working on it.”
During a subsequent interview, Atlee shared that he garnered acclaim from Hollywood technicians, specifically for the action sequences in Jawan. “People who worked on our film were from Hollywood. Action director Spiro Razatos worked with us. So, Spiro and other great director and technicians from Hollywood were at the same screening of Jawan,” he said.
“And Spiro said I have done action in this film. So, they asked who has done that scene where SRK is engulfed in flames. He said, ‘It was the director’s vision and he executed it.’ So they immediately connected with me and told me, ‘If you want to work in Hollywood, let us know,’ so it isn’t a taste which is very desi. It is something superheroic and it has a very basic rhythm. I thought this idea only works for us but it is working globally,” he told Film Companion.
