Sorry, I guess it's pretty obtuse to anyone who's not familiar with Bollywood movies..

The point of the thing is that Disney is really trying to have an influence in Asian culture. On top of pushing Disney Channel India, now they're producing movies — big budget extravaganza movies. This one will be the most expensive movie ever made in India.

Disney is really trying to make a splash with this one. The Director/actor has had the most Oscar nominations for foreign language films. The music will be by the best composer in India. Instead of just being made in one of India's languages, and shown to the rest of the country in subtitles, it's being made in four languages. It's big deal there.
