Pump that content, pump it out, let it fall, give it a shout And they were so sent to Patreon, follow us on Twitter, what's happening man? We were acting Who's that guy? That is um, you know But this is a video called Why Indians are Taking Over Hollywood I thought it was a very interesting title for a video. I hope this is coming from an Indian. I don't know That's a very interesting title because I mean, I guess there are a bunch more than there used to be That's for sure. Kayling is the first one that would come to mind. Well, yep And then Aziz Ansari, that's who that is from Parks and Rec And obviously Priyanka And I feel like if you're doing this about Hollywood, I feel like Priyanka would have to be the one that would have to And now she's helped bridge the gap. Vir Das has said so. He said the first time he ever went into an audition, he said They were like, you're Indian? Like Priyanka Chopra? And so it's like, it's Obviously she helped a lot, so I'd be very interested to see what this has to say Could we love to see more of our favorite actors in India? 100% In Hollywood, selfishly. I know some of you don't care They're like, oh, we don't care, we don't want them in Hollywood Well, we do. We won't be able to see them And yeah, we know they don't need it, they're making plenty of money They're getting enough notoriety, they're getting their artistic expression out the way they want it But we want people here to understand their stuff going on outside of Hollywood And to be introduced to this artistry Priyanka Chopra, Priyanka, Vir, like there's so many that So much good artistry There's just so many artists that would do so well But yeah, but here we go I think this is from another YouTuber I think he's Indian Cool, but let's just see Right now Indians are taking over Hollywood, filling lead roles and finding major success Dad, Patel? Oh yeah, we didn't mention that The Indian that I remember on TV was a poodle Today I am truly an American citizen And he wasn't even played by an Indian Welcome to the American Idol But in recent years there's been an explosion of Indians in Hollywood All the stereotypes are soul outdated There's more Indian dudes doing sitcoms than there are running 7-Eleven He's on Show on Netflix He's really popular Mindy Project, Liza Koshy is killing it He said, yeah? Priyanka Chopra is everywhere In 2018, Kunal Mayer was listed as the fifth highest paid actor on TV No, from Big Bang And now, Lilly Singh even has her own late night show Oh yes, yes I remember when that happened I remember when that happened I was going to say, how are you going to lead yourself out there? No, no, no, this is all about it So there's no doubt that there are talented people all over the world But Hollywood is a business And the one thing that matters most in that business is audience A lot of the decision making is super concentrated, not always still Certainly the consumption of Hollywood is around the world So really it's all I'm trying to figure out when we look at the viewing behaviors What's the size of the potential universe for this film? The third biggest immigrant population in the US outside of Mexican and Chinese immigrants is Indian This is from an article in Time Magazine from 2019 And the article also states that Indian immigrants in America have the highest median income of all immigrants in the US And 70% of Indian immigrants in America have a college degree So that's 2.5 times the national average The fact that they are pursuing higher education And come from homes with higher median incomes Means that the audience is desirable for advertisers Because they want to spur them in the space And that results in progress So as people of color move up economically at scale Studios and major companies have a financial incentive to serve those audiences It's like back in the 50s when they had soap operas That literally were meant to sell soap to housewives who were at home Comic, get things, and jobs, cleaner and whatever they're called soap operas Did you know that? Nor was that in the script That's literally why they're called soap operas Had no idea But the audience is now also there Indian based company Reliance launched GEO in 2015 With the goal of bringing a high speed 4G network and affordable data To all of the Indian population This market is huge It's considered the last major growth market economically in the world Analysts say that this is a market that's going to be worth 100 billion dollars by 2022 That's crazy As of May 2019, Reliance GEO has 322 million subscribers That's basically the population of the United States That is now connected to the internet in India The GEO2 phone is available for 3,000 rupees Which is basically the equivalent of 40 US dollars So it connects this massive Indian audience with content made in America And another reason why the Indian audience is so important Is because a lot of them are English speaking So if you invest in a new show with Indian talent They can just take the content as is And play it in India to grow a fan base You must stay in India to grow a really You can catch a little bit with Willy's thing on September 21st at 8pm On Star World and Star World HD I cannot wait You can't say the same for China Another massive market In China, you can't even get on YouTube True India is not only the biggest audience on YouTube But also the fastest growing When YouTube launched India There were less than 50 million internet users in the country And today, YouTube reaches over 265 active users each month Netflix doesn't put all of their shows in full on YouTube But Patriot Act episodes are available in full on YouTube And that's probably because Netflix wants to grow a fan base in India It's also because you can't really find anything on Netflix It's like the lost and found bin of entertainment It seems like priorities have shifted And now some of these major networks and studios Are focusing heavily on attracting this Indian audience Come on Disney And not focusing as much as the stars in the audience Come on Disney Used to try and capture You've always said that your Indianness is a big part of You know, your voice and what you put out there Do you think as you need to speak to people Perhaps in middle America Do you have to bump the edges? No, that's wasting, right? No And another reason we're starting to see more Indians in Hollywood Is because there just are more Indians in Hollywood And these Indians aren't playing a good role And how about they happen to be really talented people Maybe the way for other Indians They're not being hired because they're Indian They're not being hired because they're really talented History has shown There's Johnny Cuth Every single late night host was a white guy And now with Lilly Singh Even though I'm not always a fan of her content She is paving the path for the future of Indians Who want to pursue a creative career Regardless of what the outcome is If I'm being super candid with you It's kind of not going to matter Because it's going to help continue to pave that path And that's what my priority is Hollywood held the keys for so many years And kept opportunities from people But on YouTube, Lilly Singh could hone her craft And cultivate an audience that Did she start on the internet? She sure did Didn't get to be on YouTube Or was that her? And by the time this opportunity came She was ready and had a huge audience Hollywood in the old days It really represented studios And to some degree a couple of networks And now it's this vast group of Creative artists People, artists, creators That are looking to figure out how to Execute on their ideas And get to the biggest audience possible People like Hussett and Lilly And everyone else that we listed in this video Have made it even easier for me To view this as a tangible career path And for my parents to see it actually Happening now in Hollywood It seems more real and it's starting to become An acceptable decision to try and pursue Your creativity That's an interesting viewpoint So to answer the question Why are Indians taking over Hollywood? Talent aside, Indians have just become One of the largest and most valuable audiences In the world So thanks for watching to the end of this video It's one of the arguments we actually made For why Gully Boy Should be the nomination One, I think we said it If you watched that video Artistic merit aside If they want and Oscars need views And we just heard from the guy from Creative Artist From the head of Netflix We just heard what you're just The point you're making is Gully Boy is perfectly fit For the criteria of what they want Because you do have to have the balance Of the artistry Which is what the purists want But trust me What Netflix and Disney And everybody else in this industry Needs to have is what they said in this Eyeballs, audience, money And that's the kind of thing That will bring entry to Exactly, even though there are a bunch We're still not where we should be Because of all the talent That is in India Right now that everyone Just they have no idea No idea that it's there They have no idea about Nawaz And Sadiki Well and that's part of the I would like to know like Nawaz My suspicion Like we know Alia wants to Be a star here She really wants to She has made a concerted effort To break in in the way that Priyanka has That may be of no interest To Nawaz whatsoever He might be against it But as far as his attention And his time and his people He may be like I'm very happy with my career Yeah But I would love It's a selfish thing It's really a selfish thing And I would love for me I don't understand why Like for me it isn't just Priyanka Because who preceded Priyanka And paved the way for Priyanka Is Tabu and Irfan In terms of the consciousness Of Americans being aware of Indian actors And I would We're selfish We want to see these brilliant artists These directors and these actors Known And we want the people that are here We want to see them put The amazing artists in films here So people realize like How Aladdin should have been I mean I still haven't seen it But how Aladdin should have been done With Indian actors And a series like Sacred Games man That series could be If people were looking And aware That should be A talked about show here In the States As like wow You guys seen Sacred Games this week Everybody's talking about The shows that they should Here They're talking about Stranger Things They're talking about Better Call Saul They're talking about The Mandalorian But they're not talking about A show as brilliant as Sacred Games So it was actually a really good video Great video I liked it a lot And I particularly like it With his vantage point Him being Indian And talking about how this has Even for his own personal To tell his family I do what I do It's giving some more Which Just do it anyway But trust me I understand what he's talking about The cultural thing of Why are you going in that direction It's still ridiculously difficult For unknown actors In Hollywood Especially of That are a minority I mean it's hard for everyone It's hard for everybody But it's especially hard Because I mean If you're of Asian descent If you're of Indian descent I know India's in Asia But you know what I'm saying But if you're Of that You're still It's still at the lower level Still basically stereotypical roles You'll normally go out Sadly Because they're not being As diverse as Hollywood is becoming And still not anywhere Where it needs to be And I can't imagine how hard that is Because how hard it is That we know are experiencing We're freaking white guys in America And we see comments from you All the time on stuff Where we're acting in it Going why aren't you guys In more films Because it's Insanely hard To get a break And talent is not enough Talent is not enough Mostly luck Relationships is number one It's who you know And then making sure You don't use those relationships But you're just in the right place At the right time But also sometimes It doesn't even matter Because you've got somebody With the cloud of Priyanka That still can't Unless she makes something Oh, herself Can't get a role In something You hear it all the time You hear that about projects That somebody like a Steven Spielberg Or you name these A-list people Tom Cruise Tom Hanks Who took 10 years For someone to say Yeah, we'll back that We'll be a part of that for you With those kinds of names So yeah, this is a tough Finally, what they were saying Is people are realizing That one of the audience is there It's a huge audience That people want the eyeballs That's what drives everything In the industry They want eyeballs on it Because that's how they get money Correct And so We're getting there We're getting there And it was a great piece Yeah, I liked it By this guy, Colin Very informative And Samir I don't know their channel But it was a good piece I liked it a lot Me too
