How many times do we recall a leading Indian actress screaming from rooftops that she is doing a Hollywood film and somehow it proves to be a damp squid and has no takers at the box-office? Everyday some actor, no matter how small he is, claims to go Hollywood.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>IndiaFM brings to you a list of veteran actors who went abroad, acted in films there and came back even before some of these new-comers could even spell International. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Gulshan Grover<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>One might definitely want to say that India’s very own ‘Bad Man’ Gulshan Grover has never done justice to his talent by not doing really great roles in his career. He started out his luck in Bollywood in 1980 with the multi-starrer Hum Paanch where he shared screen with Naseeruddin Shah, Mithun Chakravarthy, Raj Babbar, Amrish Puri, Shabana Azmi and Sanjeev Kumar. He then went on to star in quite a few films as the antagonist. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It was only in 1997 that he tried to make a name for himself abroad. He did a French TV film Les Mystères de Sadjurah and subsequently was the main villain in the Hollywood film The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli & Baloo . This initiated his career in Hollywood though it did not really take off in a big way. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>His list of Hollywood flicks include the drama Eastside (1999) , the action adventure Tail Sting (2001) , a DVD film Panic (2001), the crime thriller Beeper (2002) and the treasure hunt movie In the Shadow of the Cobra (2004). If Aishwarya can claim that her Jagmohan Mundhra directed film Provoked is Hollywood material, Gulshan definitely can include his Monsoon (2001) as one, which too, was directed by Mundhra. Though the film met with appalling reviews, Gulshan somehow got noticed. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>His forth-coming films include William Carrol’s Marigold (starring Salman Khan), Jagmohan Mundhra’s Backwaters, Blind Ambition and Sweet Amerika . There were strong rumors that he was to be the main villain in the latest James Bond movie Casino Royale but no confirmation came from Gullu . <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Trivia:<BR> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Naseeruddin Shah and he were both battling it out for the role of Captain Nemo in the Sean Connery film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which finally went to the former.<br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
