Hollywood actor Sophie Turner has expressed strong admiration for Indian cinema, describing it as a cinematic “spectacle” unlike anything she has experienced on Western film sets.
In a January 2026 interview with Firstpost, Turner spoke enthusiastically about Bollywood’s scale, visual richness, and cultural energy. She revealed that she would “actually love to be in a Bollywood movie,” adding that the industry’s iconic song-and-dance sequences are a major part of its appeal for her as an actor.
Turner praised the production design of Indian films, calling it “beautiful” and highlighting the artistry and grandeur that set them apart from mainstream Western productions. According to her, the immersive nature of Indian cinema, from elaborate sets to large-scale musical numbers, creates an experience that feels both celebratory and unique.
Sharing her personal favorites, Turner referred to Shah Rukh Khan as the “GOAT” and described Deepika Padukone as “amazing.” She also singled out SS Rajamouli’s RRR (2022), stating that she thoroughly enjoyed watching the globally acclaimed blockbuster.
Her comments come as she promotes her upcoming heist thriller series, Steal, which is scheduled to premiere on Prime Video on January 21, 2026. While Turner has not confirmed any concrete plans to work in India, her remarks have sparked excitement among fans, who are already imagining her in a full-scale Bollywood production.
With growing cross-cultural collaborations between Hollywood and Indian cinema, Turner’s enthusiasm adds to the increasing global recognition of Bollywood’s storytelling power and visual spectacle.
