Call us greedy, but these 5 actors are oh-so-Hollywood readyread on!

They are the brightest offshoots of new-age Indian cinema and rightly deserve a fair chance to spread their wings down West.

Mumbai: If stellar performances and poised men rule Hollywood, then Bollywood is defined by an army of distinctive personas possessing a natural flair for the craft of acting.

Men in Bollywood are like a ready-made recipe primed to be served hot to the world. They are notoriously handsome, emote through those deep-set eyes and have an innate ‘sing & dance’ talent which only gets finer as time passes.

If Deepika and Priyanka are Hollywood’s favourite cross over celebrities they cannot get enough of, well they sure haven’t meet these ladies’ male counterparts. And definitely, have not beheld their natural grip over the art of acting.

From the pool of supremely-talented actors in Bollywood, let us discuss the possibility of about 5 of those, who, we feel, if given a chance, will not only land a Hollywood debut but may end up doing a series of international projects.

1) King of Bollywood- Shah Rukh Khan

Naah…They don’t make actors like him anymore! Admit it, you love SRK as a lover boy just as much as you like him as a asperger syndrome patient with special abilities. Haters may hate but there is no denying that his versatility as a performer is truly commendable.

Basking on the glory of recently released film ‘Dera Zindagi’, SRK will always be a dream of an actor to work with – across all film industries. He is so believable as an actor that whatever role he dons- be it of a mentally unstable stalker or of a fallen hero trying to redeem his reputation as an able hockey coach- he owns it and how!

Yes, lately, we have been seeing more of SRK 'the superstar' and less of SRK 'the actor' but that does not bring down his credibility as a hard-hitting performer.

Now you all will agree that legendary films like ‘Dilwale Duhaniya…’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Chak de India!’ would not have been the same if it were not for the man himself.

With a world wide reach, we wonder what’s keeping the Baadshah of Bollywood from entering the international league.

Take the leap SRK, we are certain the whole world is with you!

2) Mr. Perfectionist- Aamir Khan

Call him God’s most sincere creation till today or an achiever with an unquenchable thirst for excellence. Aamir working in Hindi cinema is like Midas touch, whichever film he works in, magically turns to gold.

Right from slipping into the shoes of the character to getting his body in appropriate shape, Aamir somehow manages to outdo himself with every film.

With films like ‘Lagaan’, ‘Taare Zameen Par’ ‘Sarfarosh’, ‘Rang de Basanti’ and ‘Talaash’ to his credit, we are certain this Khan will be ‘the find’ of whichever year he debuts in in Hollywood.

It will be safe to say that he will give the big guys a good run for their money.

3) Chocolate boy of Bollywood- Ranbir Kapoor

What if his latest flicks did not impress one and all like they once had? His recent filmography does no justice to his sublime talent. Men are prone to making mistakes and he, certainly, is no exception.

If we rewind to his ‘Barfi!’ and ‘Rockstar’ days, he was plain unmatchable. The immensity of his talent shone through these classic films and the superstar-in-making has become a synonym for Love & Pain.

Those droopy eyes, a dangerous weapon of a smile and mammoth knowledge of cinema; who wouldn’t consider him for a Hollywood adventure? Let the grey clouds that have long been hovering over his head pass and he can enter any industry he wants to and shake its foundation with ground-breaking performances.

He just needs to hang in there and wait for it to subside!

4) Flamboyantly fabulous - Ranveer Singh

Not that we are complaining but his raunchy act in ‘Befikre’ does not reflect the serious actor dwelling within him. One has to watch ‘Lootera’ to know how convincing he is as a con artist. And once you are convinced, which you most certainly will be, you must sit with a box full of tissues to watch 'Bajirao Mastani' and witness him essay the roles of both a warrior and a selfless lover at the same time, with utmost ease.

But again, that’s Ranveer for you! He has always been somewhat of a Chameleon. At social gatherings, he is this snobbishly loud star who has everyone’s attention but when it comes down to work, the flamboyant side of him jumps out of the window to make way for the cracker of an actor in him.

He has got the looks, the body, and the right kind of attitude. A special someone has even joked about taking him along with her (to Hollywood).

What is stopping you, Ranveer? Go already, will you?

5) Emerging star- Sushant Singh Rajput

We know, we know… it’s a little too soon for him to feature in this list. But, we don’t mean to exert pressure on this I-mean-business star. All we are saying is this:

This go-getter is every bit a Hollywood material despite the fact that he is still a juvenile in the world of cinema.

Quantity does not necessarily have to be the primary parameter for judging the potential of an actor. Out of the four films he has done, Rajput had hit three of them straight out of the pavilion, latest one being a 100 cr-grossing cinematic genius.

The theatre trained actor, regardless of what his report card suggests, is a truly marvellous performer in the making and we will take the liberty to say that he is a younger version of Aamir Khan –since both strive for perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less.

Sushant has himself expressed his desire to go international. Well, that’s not far, good luck with that!

You must be thinking how did Sallu bhai not feature in this list? Well, remember the 2007 film ‘Marigold’? Yes, Salman has long made his international debut. So, that’s how he did not make it to this list.

Anyway, with Deepika and Priyanka bagging international projects of immense brand value, hunger for seeing our desi boys on the other side of the world grew from bad to worse. C’mon boys, Hollywood is just a whisk away. Go for it!
