He shared, "I would love to go back to India and make a film there. I love Bollywood films; the skill that it takes to do what you all do is so natural. I love it when, in a scene, someone suddenly breaks into a song. I love it," adding that he loves watching musicals from different countries, and Bollywood movies remain on top of his list. 

"You can just break out into a song—it's so beautiful. I love the dancing, singing, and the actors. That is such a unique experience and craftsmanship of the actors to be able to sing, dance, and act," he shared.

Cruise also shared that he cannot wait to go back to India because he has so many friends in the country. "I would love to make a Bollywood-style movie. It would be so much fun and amazing to do that," he added.
