"I am not familiar with the films specifically, but I have known of Bollywood for a long time. But I don't watch them because I just never have. But the stuff I have seen looks incredible. The production value is so massive," Samberg said in interview from Los Angeles while promoting his Hotel Transylvania 3: Monster Vacation.

"And yes, I would consider singing for one." Samberg's humour made him a YouTube star when he started coming out with his own comedy videos with two friends, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. He then launched his comedy troupe The Lonely Island, before getting a gig on the Saturday Night Live show. 

Samberg has got wider audience and acclaim by attaching himself to projects like Friends With Benefits, I Love You, Man and That's My Boy, TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the Hotel Transylvania franchise. 

For the animated franchise, he has lent his voice to the character of Johnny, human and husband of the vampire Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez). He was back as Johnny in Hotel Transylvania 3: Monster Vacation, which was brought to India by Sony Pictures. — IANS
