After Columbian Jorge Echeverri of 'The Voice of Wings' fame, it's now Brazilian filmmaker Wolney Mattos Oliveira, who claims to have been floored by Bollywood films.

At the 14th Kolkata Film Festival he said that he would like to make a Hindi film provided he can learn the language.

He's reportedly said, "I would love to make a Hindi film in the future. But I'll have to learn the language first. The storyline of my film 'The Isle of Death' is relevant in the Indian context as well.

I am sure this theme is very relevant in India too, especially when most youths in India are more concerned about their career and money, and forget about their roots.

The producer-director said the film could have been shot in India. It's just because I am more familiar with Cuba than I am with India that the film was put into the Cuban context."

The movie is about the journey of an ambitious youth from the city to his roots in his village. It's a film set in Cuba where 20-year-old Rodolfo aspires to become a successful filmmaker.

But in course of time, he faces discouragement and frustration. He returns to the village where he spent his childhood and finds solace and his first love. It is in the village that he, by unexpected means, succeeds in making his first film.

Though he can't take any names he says he's been greatly influenced by Bollywood.

He said, "I watch a lot of Bollywood films these days, but I don't remember names. They helped me grow as a director and inspired my creativity."

Now we really wonder if he's actually being totally honest or just trying to just make Indian viewers happy!
