From just a hint of Indian flavour to now, full-on desi tadka \u2014 that seems to be the scenario in the West, when it comes to Bollywood actors being cast in international projects. From more global projects in tow to prominent roles alongside big names from Hollywood, it\u2019s a win-win situation for our actors like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Ali Fazal, who are also enjoying a good run in cinema back home.<\/p>\n
Ali Fazal starred in one of the titular roles alongside Hollywood veteran Judi Dench in the Indo-British film, Victoria and Abdul (2017). \u201cIt\u2019s nice to feel empowered by a validation of such sorts, when a universal studio picks you for a lead role,\u201d says Ali, who recently announced his second Hollywood project, a biopic; His first was Fast and Furious 6 (2013), in which he had a cameo. \u201cI was the first to be signed for this new movie, but can\u2019t reveal more and rest of the casting is underway,\u201d he had told us.<\/p>\n
Leading the pack of Indian actors enjoying global success is Priyanka, who was the antagonist opposite Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron in Baywatch (2017); is already shooting for her second Hollywood film, Isn\u2019t It Romantic?, besides going strong with her American TV series, Quantico. In India, she has been producing regional films under her own banner.<\/p>\n
Deepika, who kicked ass alongside Vin Diesel in one of Hollywood top-grossing films this year, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, is said to return for its sequel, and awaits the release of her much-awaited film, Padmavati.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is really good to see that these actors have not shifted their focus entirely on Hollywood. They are managing their schedules in India and abroad in such a way that they can get the best of both the worlds,\u201d says trade analyst Atul Mohan.<\/p>\n
For Priyanka, the criterion is a good role, be it in Hollywood or Bollywood. \u201cI didn\u2019t see Baywatch as my \u2018first\u2019 film. I\u2019ve been an actor for many years. I have done a lot of movies and now I am being introduced to a different audience. I don\u2019t see it as \u2018oh my God my Hollywood film is coming,\u201d she had said in an interview.<\/p>\n
Actor Irrfan, who is an established name in Hollywood as well, with films such as Inferno and Jurassic World, will soon be seen in filmmaker Marc Turtletaub\u2019s film Puzzle. His Indian projects Hindi Medium, and Qarib Qarib Singlle too did really well at the box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
