'Fallout Season 2' creator Jonathan Nolan says Bollywood has "fearlessness, ambition" that Hollywood lacks: 'That is very exciting and...'

In today’s global entertainment landscape, few creators bridge the gap between East and West as thoughtfully as Jonathan Nolan. As he gears up for the premiere of Fallout Season 2, Nolan once again spoke up about Cinema in India, a country he previously charmed by declaring its film industry “bigger than Hollywood.” For Nolan, the rise of Indian cinema isn’t just a matter of scale; it’s about a creative spirit that he finds increasingly rare in the traditional studio system.

When asked what specifically gives Bollywood an edge over Hollywood, the writer-director said, “I think it’s very clear, and you sort of started to see the global fascination with Indian filmmaking. It is fearless in those ways at its best. Hollywood can be, too. But (in India), there’s a level of ambition that is very exciting.”

This fearless approach mirrors Nolan’s own work on _Fallout_, where the stakes are high and the world-building is uncompromising. The second season of the acclaimed series continues the story of haves and have-nots, constantly fighting to survive in an increasingly bleak world where there is almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.

With Season 2 now here and Season 3 already on the horizon, the Fallout team—much like the Indian filmmakers Nolan admires—clearly has no intention of slowing down. Produced by Kilter Films, the much-awaited Fallout Season 2 premiered on December 17 in India with first three episodes in English with dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, exclusively on Prime Video.
