For the past few years I have heard the same thing again and again. I am having offers from the West, I am reading the scripts, This is really going to be a cross over stuff, blah blah blah.
Names like Ash, SRK, Hrithik, Aamir, Salman, etc etc were going ga ga over how they are being approached by the Hollywood and how they are really interested in casting them in their projects.
Well those are still talks. And they haven't been in anything remotely popular western stuff yet.
And who has really crossed over now. Our very own Lakhan. Anil 'Jhakkas' Kapoor.
Yes he has landed himself a role in the popular series 24 as President of some made up country. And not a blink and a miss kinda stuff. He is one of the major characters in the plot. President Omar Hassan. 24 is a very popular series down West and to see Anil bhai be a part of that show just feels Awesome.
He doesn't look in any awe whatsoever. Such confidence. Such charm. That too against Jack Bauer. WOW. I saw the first five episodes and everytime he walks in to a frame, AWESOME.(though he could have worked a bit on his accent)
He has to thank his role in Slumdog Millionaire to a great extent for having this opportunity.
Wishing All the Best to this guy who Never seems to get Old and Thanking him to show us this day when a real Bollywood Star is a part of something this Global.
