It's interesting that it's getting a lot of respect here. I'm reading a lot about it. It's one of the top films of the year. A lot of people are speaking very highly about it. And as you know I have a big attachment to India so that makes me very, very happy," said Gerard, who is busy promoting his upcoming film Plane.
