Haven't put Bollywood in backseat: Amyra Dastur

Actress Amyra Dastur says she wants to
balance work between Bollywood and south as she loves both the
industries.
"I want to balance both (Bollywood and southern film industry) of them.
Everything is becoming way more global. We have seen a lot of south
remakes in Bollywood and they are making Bollywood remakes in south as
well. In fact, a lot of producers are making bilingual films," Amyra
told IANS over phone from Mumbai:
She added: "I think both the industries are really going to merge, and
they have already started merging. So, I haven't put Bollywood in the
backseat. I had to give up two south projects to complete ‘Kung Fu
Yoga'. I had put south in the back for a little bit...I love everything
about both the industries."
Amyra forayed in Bollywood in 2013 with "Issaq", went on to do Tamil
film "Anegan", Hindi film "Mr. X", Sino-Indian co-production "Kung Fu
Yoga". She will also team up with Tridha Choudhury, Sundeep Kishan in a
new yet-untitled Telugu coming-of-age romantic drama.
The actress, who is also known for her association with brands like
French fashion label Promod, pointed out: "Both the industries are
actually pretty much the same. So, I am not keeping anything on the
back burner."
Amyra also said she is not interested in heading to Hollywood.
"'Kung Fu Yoga' happened by chance. If anything good comes my way then
it comes my way but I am not focusing on Hollywood at all. My focus is
on south and Bollywood."
