Anupam Kher & other Bollywood stars in big ticket Hollywood projects
Indian actors have always striven hard to prove their worth on the global stage. From the time of Satyajit Ray, artists have entered and conquered Hollywood sensibilities after their own fashion.
Recently while we were all elated with the news that Bollywood star Neil Nitin Mukesh bagged a role in the famous Game of Thrones series, our joy doubled when we just chanced upon Anupam Kher’s tweet:
Happy to Announce: Started shooting for 'HeadHunter's Calling' with @GerardButler in Toronto.:) #AmazingScript pic.twitter.com/rRYCyN0Wa4

Though Hollywood is not new to Kher, this shows how Bollywood is living its Hollywood dream at this very moment. We take a look at other Indian actors who are showing great promise in big American ventures.
Priyanka Chopra in Quantico
PC’s entry into the American TV thriller Quantico grabbed plenty of media attention. In the series, the Barfi actress plays the lead role of a young FBI recruit Alex Parish. What’s more, she’s now been nominated in the Favourite Actress in a New TV Series category for the People’s Choice Award 2016. If she wins that, it’ll just prove that PC has made a big impact in US TV as well.
Nimrat Kaur in Homeland
Her role in Homeland was a big leap from the unhappy housewife Nimrat Kaur played in Lunch Box. In the American series about CIA operations post 9/11, Nimrat has played an ISI agent.
Sonu Sood in Kung Fu Yoga
While some Indian stars are making waves on the small screen, it’s a big opportunity for Sonu Sood who has teamed up with Jackie Chan for Kung Fu Yoga. Apparently, Chan has vowed to teach Sonu Chinese while they work on the movie.
Irrfan Khan in Inferno
Irrfan Khan, one of the first to make the crossover to Hollywood, is currently busy with Inferno. In the film, based on Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon thriller Inferno, the Life of Pi actor features alongside Tom Hanks.
