The I, Robot star said US filmmakers could benefit from the "beauty, colour and depth of Indian cinema."

Smith visited Bollywood studios, meeting producers, directors and actors. He said he intended to make contacts for the future.

He expressed particular praise for star Amitabh Bachchan – also known as Big B – and actress Aishwarya Rai.
