Indians don't get good roles in Hollywood: Imran Khan

Oct 16, 2014 NR

Actor Imran Khan has the opinion that Hollywood does not offer meaty or good roles to Indians, and what Indians have already done were trivial ones.

"To be honest, I don't think Indian actors get good roles in Hollywood. You either get to be the hero's friend, the guy who owns the 7-Eleven (convenience store) on the corner", the 31-year-old said.

"The truth is there are no good roles for Indians in Hollywood. I am very happy here", added the actor, who has been seen in movies like "Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane", "I Hate Luv Storys" and "Delhi Belly".

Anil Kapoor, who featured in a key role in Oscar-winning British film "Slumdog Millionaire", was seen in a small role in Tom Cruise-starrer "Misson Impossible: Ghost Protocol" and was also seen in the eighth season of American TV series "24".

Irrfan Khan has featured in international films like "A Mighty Heart", "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Life of Pi".
