Bollywood's superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said that with younger Indian filmmakers exposed to western cinema and western culture making different types of films, Indian stars will be truly global, "much sooner than anyone would expect."

Shah Rukh told CNN in an interview telecast on Sunday, "The younger filmmakers, I think are completely new-thinking people. They have learned the technique and technology, and writing from the western world."

He further added that youth "in our country now, is also understanding different kind of cinema, because they're also exposed to because of television, Internet. So, they're like, OK, we can compare.

Shah Rukh also said, "And somehow Indians at this juncture feel, you know what? To be really proud, we need to make films which make a mark in the world."

"Much sooner than anyone would expect and most certainly" even though, "all the main standard in the world becomes how much dollar value that finally the business brings, and that's how you're big," he said when asked if he imagined there maybe a time when Indian stars will be truly global.

"But I can see it happening in the next five or six years, very easily," Shah Rukh Khan said seeing the use of Hindi language in Indian films as another problem giving Hollywood "a big advantage" as they speak in English.

He said, referring to the use of liberal use of English terms in Hindi films, "But the time is coming now, because ... if you see a new Indian film, you'll realize that the language is more 'Hinglish.'"

"You know, we're using, and we don't have to translate it anymore, everyone understands it. And everyone uses it every day." (With Inputs from Agencies)
