Big in Bollywood + Q & A with actor Omi Vaidya

California-born, NYU-educated Omi Vaidya had been struggling to make it in Hollywood as an Indian-American actor when he was suddenly offered a role in Mumbai. The film was 3 IDIOTS, and when it turned out to be an overwhelming critical and box office success, Omi - who hardly spoke any Hindi - woke up to overnight stardom in India. His unlikely story is told in this creative documentary, made by Vaidya's college friends: just like 3 IDIOTS, this is a film about camaraderie and success, but told from behind the scenes.
