The immense, boundary-transcending power of Indian cinema has found its newest high-profile Hollywood admirer. Emma Myers, globally recognized for her breakout performance as the colorful werewolf Enid Sinclair in Netflix’s hit supernatural series Wednesday, has officially declared her love for mainstream Indian cinema.
Speaking on a recent episode of Hits Radio while promoting her upcoming television projects, the 24-year-old actress stunned hosts and delighted millions of subcontinent fans by singling out Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots and SS Rajamouli’s epic Baahubali duology as her all-time favorite cinematic productions.
Myers’ revelation underscores a rapidly growing trend of young Hollywood talent actively consuming Indian content on global streaming networks. Her affectionate breakdown of these films immediately went viral across social media spaces, instantly endearing the American actress to a massive, highly dedicated Indian fanbase that has tracked her career since her Nevermore Academy days.
The Radio Revelation: “I absolutely love Indian films—I think they are just super fun,” Emma Myers stated enthusiastically during her interview. “One of my favorite movies ever is called 3 Idiots. I force it on people all the time! Yes, it’s practically four hours long, but you end up having the absolute best time of your life. And then there is this incredible two-part saga called Baahubali, which I completely adore. Those films are just sick; I watch them repeatedly.”
The Cross-Cultural Impact: From Hollywood Elites to Global Audiences
This is far from the first instance of Hollywood and international icons singing praises for Rajkumar Hirani’s 2009 pathbreaking coming-of-age comedy-drama or Rajamouli’s mythological spectacle. Legendary global action star Jackie Chan famously confessed to becoming an overnight Aamir Khan enthusiast after 3 Idiots smashed distribution records in Hong Kong and China, hailing Khan as a “terrific, chameleon-like actor.”
Furthermore, iconic filmmaker Steven Spielberg once personally approached Kareena Kapoor Khan at an international venue specifically to compliment her work on the film. Myers added a charming personal note to this legacy, revealing that the film’s signature catchphrase and musical anchor, “All Is Well”, has firmly integrated itself into her real-life personal vocabulary during stressful production days.
Development Updates: The Confirmed 10-Year Time Jump in ‘3 Idiots 2’
Myers’ praise aligns with massive ongoing developments surrounding the franchise. Putting years of intense media speculation to rest, Aamir Khan officially confirmed that a highly anticipated sequel to 3 Idiots is actively moving forward under the creative stewardship of original director Rajkumar Hirani and ace screenwriter Abhijat Joshi. Khan revealed that he has already sat through the initial narrative drafts and expressed massive excitement about stepping back into the eccentric shoes of his genius alter-ego, Phunsukh Wangdu (Rancho).
The upcoming sequel will explicitly steer clear of the short-form commercial ad concepts that briefly reunited the cast in recent years. Instead, 3 Idiots 2 will feature a bold, canonical ten-year time leap, exploring where the trio of Rancho, Farhan (R. Madhavan), and Raju (Sharman Joshi) find themselves in mid-life, completely separated from the high-pressure college setting of the original masterpiece.
With the project officially transitioning out of the scripting phase, international fans like Emma Myers might soon have a brand-new multi-hour cinematic experience to screen for their uninitiated peers in the West.
