“Slumdog Millionaire” Makes Bollywood Matter

“Slumdog Millionaire” is the drama about a Mumbai poor boy, which has all the odds in its favor regarding the top honors at the Oscars and has put Indian film industry on global entertainment map. The movie was made in India with a predominant Indian cast and technicians and has managed to increase Bollywood's ability to attract powerful Hollywood actors like Sylvester Stallone to Pierce Brosnan and Mickey Rourke, according to a report.

Leading Bollywood producer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra has big plans for 'The Wrestler' star Mickey Rourke, who has been nominated for the Best Actor at the Oscars. The legendary actor will play in 'Broken Horses' which is a gangster movie based on a screenplay co-written by Chopra, who had Rourke in mind while writing it. The flick is likely to be released in 2010.

As for the actor whom most of us know as James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, he will also be acting in a Bollywood film called “Teen Patti” together with Amitabh Bachchan. The movie is edited by Jon Harris, who worked on “Snatch” and directed by Guy Ritchie.
 
Sylvester Stallone is to perform in “Incredible Love” which is expected to be released in May and has been making headlines for having some big names from Hollywood like Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandson Routh from “Superman Returns.” Carmen Electra as well stars with Kareena Kapoor.
