The actor, who has visited India several times for professional as well as personal reasons, said that he is eager to produce and work in a Bollywood project.

"'Aladdin' is hot... you are going to love it! I was trying to do my best Bollywood version in this movie and there is a Prince Ali sequence in the film and I kept telling Guy Ritchie you got to go full Bollywood, you have to give them full Bollywood flavour," Smith said at a red carpet event in Tokyo.

Asked about whom would he like to collaborate next in Bollywood, he said: "I have been visiting India, meeting and hanging out. They need to present me something, bring me something. I don't know what do we want to do - but we should start, we should produce it to together."

Disney's "Aladdin" is a thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of the loved animated classic movie. The animated version that had taken the world by storm in 1992 established a legendary status amongst fans, especially with its blockbuster music.

Directed by Ritchie, the live-action adaptation stars Smith as the larger-than-life Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Jasmine and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar.

"Aladdin" will release in India on May 24 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
