Saif Ali Khan, bonafide Bollywood royalty and star of hit Sacred Games, says India’s massive film industry does not need international audiences to thrive. But that may not be a good thing, he cautioned.

The 49-year-old actor, whose latest film is Jawaani Jaaneman (Youthful Lover), has starred in multiple blockbusters over the years, from Dil Chahta Hai (The Heart Desires) in 2001 to Tanhaji, released earlier this month.
