Rumour has it that Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage could be about to take on his first role in a Bollywood movie.
Indian director Vidhu Vinod Chopra is said to be in Los Angeles right now casting for his new movie Broken Horses. The film is reported to be inspired by the director and writer’s 1989 movie Parinda which starred Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit.
According to a recent newspaper report, 46-year-old Cage has been cast in one of the leading roles for the forthcoming Bollywood movie which is due to begin filming in early next year. The role would mark the Academy Award nominated actor’s first foray into an Indian cinema.
Another high profile Hollywood actor to be linked to the gangster movie is Mickey Rourke who is currently part of an all-star cast in the Sylvester Stallone movie, The Expendables. The Wrestler star is also said to be in talks with the Indian director with a view to taking on a role in the Bollywood movie.
The last movie which Chopra worked on, albeit in a producer role, was Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots which was a runaway success and broke many box office records.
If Chopra succeeds in getting both Nicolas Cage and Mickey Rourke onboard for his new movie Broken Horses, the Indian director may have another smash hit film on his hands.
