No good roles for Indians in Hollywood, feels Imran Khan

Actors like Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur may be making inroads into the Hollywood scene, but Imran Khan feels the American film industry lacks good roles for Indian talent. ‘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 on the sidelines of the ongoing Mumbai Film Festival here. ‘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 TuYa Jaane Na, I Hate Luv Storys and Delhi Belly.

Anil, 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 24.
