Anil Kapoor is not just a star in the Bollywood industry, he has also acted in Hollywood movies. His 2008 release Slumdog Millionaire bagged ten nominations and won 8 awards at the 81st Academy Awards.
Despite last starring in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, the actor says he won’t accept Hollywood projects anymore. Speaking to Variety, the Mr. India star said, “There are shows, films, which are pitched to me. Sometimes things don’t work out, because of various reasons. It might be the role. It might be the script; it might be the timing when they approached me.”
“And sometimes it might be situations where I feel as if it is not worth my time to go there for this kind of film, or this kind of role. But I’m always open to jobs which challenge me, which will help me grow my craft as an actor. And I would love to work with filmmakers who can challenge me and can make me a better actor in the West. I’m looking forward to that,” added Kapoor.
