Would love to make big movie in India: Yann Arthus-Bertrand

French environmentalist-filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand says he is keen to make a film in India as the country is "beautiful with a big contrast."
Yann is known for his book "Earth From Above" and his documentary "Home", which was composed of aerial shots of various places from around the world.
The filmmaker's next, "Human", talks about people from across the world affected by politics and crime and their survival.
Yann says he would love to shoot an Indian version of his movie.
"We are planning to do a big movie in India. Would love to make an Indian version of 'Human'. We love it when we're here, interviewing people.

"India is so rich with so many different castes, cultures, languages, and courageous people trying to survive everyday," Yann told PTI on the sidelines of the 17th MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, where "Human" was premiered.

He revealed that a portion of "Human" was supposed to be shot in Kumbh Mela too but got scrapped at the last minute by the authorities.
"The people of India are very nice, they want to help you but the bureaucracy here, I don't know how you deal with it everyday. We came for the Kumbh ka Mela with all the permissions, which we had sought months ago. When we arrived we go to know we cannot shoot.

"There was a helicopter, 15 people from our team... And we were told we couldn't do. They were afraid of a panic situation I think."
"Human" took nearly three years to complete and Yann says it was director Terrence Malick's Brad-Pitt Jessica Chastain starrer experimental drama "The Tree of Life" (2011), which was the triggering point of making the film.
