Andrew Garfield set the internet ablaze after posing with Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor on the red carpet of the ongoing Red Sea International Film Festival. The love for Indian cinema not only prevails within the country but exists globally and Garfiled's latest statement is proof of that. The Spiderman star also praised filmmaker Zoya Akhtar and revealed that he is also excited to see her movies soon.
Andrew Garfield during a conversation with Pinkvilla reacted on the photos of him that went viral with Shraddha Kapoor from the event. He said, “We had a lovely, very brief meeting at the red carpet. She seems very, very lovely and kind and gentle."
Besides Shraddha, he praised Zoya Akhtar and her films. The actor revealed he met Zoya at the Marrakech International Film Festival, where the actor and director were jury members. Talking about his meeting with her, he stated, “I was on the jury in Marrakech with Zoya Akhtar, who I really love. And I am very, very excited to see her films. I haven’t seen any of her films."
Andrew shared how he loved discussing about the film RRR with Zoya during their meeting. He continued, “We were talking about American cinema, British cinema, and Indian cinema, and we were bonding over our mutual love for RRR because that was a recent Indian film that’s obviously kind of broken through to the West."
For the unversed, SS Rajamouli's RRR created history at the international level. The Ram Charan and Jr NTR starrer track Naatu Naatu won the Oscar for Best Original Song.

He also shared his excitement about exploring new culture of filmmaking. “I think when moments like that happen, it is like a tiger breaking through the cinema screen or something; it is something very exciting and awakening about that when you’re suddenly introduced to a whole new culture of filmmaking. So, yeah, I am very, very excited," Andrew added.
