Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, the cop duo of the new Netflix film, Bright, talk racism, diversity, arts and politics while sparring with each other. As if the hoardings of Bright at every major traffic signal in Mumbai were not enough, practically the entire community of film journalists of the city gathered at the sprawling Imperial Room of the St Regis hotel on Monday for their date(s) with Will Smith, Joel Edgerton and Noomi Rapace, the stars of the Netflix film, reportedly picked up for a whopping $90 million deal. After a short wait over a sandwich, Danish and masala chai, I am whisked into a quiet, almost bare room but for a few chairs and a poster of the film in a corner. The calm makes way for a sudden burst of energy as Smith and Edgerton enter with a whole entourage behind them. They are in a lively frame, in a friendly joust with each other, a carry-forward of their roles as the two LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) cops in Bright that releases this Friday. Directed by David Ayer and written by Max Landis, it is set in an alternate reality, in a world peopled with humans as well as fantasy creatures like orcs, fairies and elves. Smith plays Ward, a human, and Edgerton is Jakoby, an orc; both battling their personal differences while taking on the enemies together to save America and the world at large.
