Ahead of the film’s release, the actor spoke to an online portal and revealed his love for India and his memories of visiting the country in the past.
Talking about his love for India, Benedict told the portal, “I love India. I love your country. It's been almost a lifetime since I was last there as a 19-year-old. But I had the most extraordinary and formative experience when I was teaching in West Bengal. I was staying there, sleeping there and also working with the refugee community. And then I got to experience India at large. First of all, when I got there, I crossed Delhi via train through Varanasi. And then, we stayed in Rajasthan for a month and I fell in love with the country. I haven't even visited South India, Ladakh and those are the regions of the North that I would love to visit. It's a huge place and I have one life. I hope something will bring me back soon.”
