The $15 million (Rs75.3 crore) budget film, which tells the story of a street urchin\u2019s mishaps in his quest for love, grossed $343.5 million at the box office worldwide and helped put Indian talent and stories on the map. <\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe interest has been building to where we are now, and it is just set to continue,\u201d<\/strong> said Christina Marouda, director of the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, which closed this weekend. \u201cThere is definitely a lot of interest in representing talent, with <strong>all the big talent agencies, including William Morris, CAA and International Creative Management (ICM), arranging meetings around the festivals.
