IRRFAN KHAN SAYS Indian cinema is being dominated by big budget foreign films.
Hollywood films like Furious 7, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World proved their mettle at the box office in India earlier this year.
The 48-year-old, who has starred in various English films like Slumdog Millionaire, The Amazing Spider-Man and Life of Pi, believes Bollywood films are not a competition for Hollywood but the picture is different in India.
"I'm working in both the industries as I'm enjoying my work on both sides. Hollywood demands a different kind of skill. Each industry has a different audience. So, as an actor it's fortunate that I get the chance to do different kinds of work," said Irrfan, who was last seen in Jurassic World.
"Both the industries have their own uniqueness. But Hollywood has a bigger reach and has its own universal language. It is more powerful. It has dominated our cinema. It can affect the business of Bollywood. But, our films are not affecting their business. It's Hollywood which is affecting Indian cinema," he added.
Having started his career in Bollywood with character roles in films like Salaam Bombay! and Drishti, Irrfan went on to prove his versatility with films like Haasil, Life in a... Metro and The Namesake. He says he was not offered romantic roles before Piku.
"People usually think of me as a serious actor, but the roles that I have done so far were not of my choice. If given a choice I would have rather done comedy and romantic films. I don't have a particular group of directors of my own. I don't have any gang. Whatever roles come to me, I take them," Irrfan said.
Asked whether he would like to do another biopic after his National Award-winning performance in Paan Singh Tomar, Irrfan said: "I would love to do more of them if the script is good because Paan Singh Tomar started the current biopic trend." IANS
