- 6 years ago
Bollywood and Hollywood seem to be two sides of the same coin called entertainment for the Indian film going public. They follow both with equal dedication and interest. Now with the influx of Bollywood stars in Hollywood the screen quotient has become a pride for the Indian audience. Let us check out these stars who made it big in Hollywood.
Priyanka Chopra
These days when we speak of Hollywood the first name that comes to our minds is our own desi gal Priyanka Chopra. With the release of her American teleserial on FBI recruits Quantico, Priyanka has proved to be a chip above the rest of them. Amazingly her first episode was a big hit and we are proud of our Piggy Chops in Hollywood.
Anupam Kher
A complete actor and an absolutely wonderful human being, Anupam Kher is still remembered for his stupendous role in Saaransh. After that there have been innumerable ones in Bollywood but his Hollywood stint began with The Mistress of Spices and then Bend it Like Beckham and later he was seen in Silver Linings which gave him complete international recognition. Well done Anupam Ji.
Irrfan Khan
He is humility personified and a versatile actor to be cherished for ever. Not only nationally but also internationally, Irrfan is a well acclaimed artist and with his roles in A Mighty Heart, The Amazing Spider Man, Life of Pi and Development of Jurassic World he is here to stay in Hollywood . Out here in Bollywood we do not even have to mention the films as they are at everybody’s finger tips!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is in fact the first Indian Bollywood actress who acted in a film in Hollywood. She starred in The Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin which in itself was a big achievement. Then of course there was Mistress of Spices, Bride and Prejudice, Provoked : a true story and Ash truly deserved to be the international face of the world. She is but obviously one of the most beautiful women in the world and is a regular at Cannes film festival.
Anil Kapoor
Our own one two ka for Lakhan is today the biggest hit in Hollywood. With his successful stint with Slumdog Millionaire, Anil was then seen in the international hit television series 24 where he was Omar Hassan, then he was seen in the very recent Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Anil Kapoor is still as peppy and young as ever and is certainly an actor par excellence.
Amrish Puri
Coined the Mogambo of Bollywood this noted villain Amrish Puri is one of the few actors who began to think of working in Hollywood. He was internationally acclaimed for his roles in The Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and also was popular in the Ben Kingsley flick Gandhi. Amrish Puri is revered for his stellar acting and stenotarian voice.
Mallika Sherawat
An absolute controversy oriented gal, she is however someone who knows to manage her spunk. She shot to popularity internationally with her almost nude dress in the Cannes Film Festival and then of course she was seen in The Myth with Jackie Chan. Also seen in Politics of Love and Barack, Mallika is still very much in the international public eye if not national!
Tabu
She is a living example of grace, charm and professionalism. With major films in her hand she has always proved to be an epitome of acting. However when she was starred in The Namesake, people endorsed her international presence. Then of course Life of course Life of Pi was a landmark film in her life.
Om Puri
Om Puri has always been known to be a fantastic actor. His performances in movies like Ardh Satya and others have been critically acclaimed . With his entry into the foray of Hollywood in the British teleseries White Teeth things went internationally famous.
