Entertainment Sep 15, 2015
Hollywood has always been infatuated with Bollywood stars and recently Wesley Snipes expressed a desire to work with some A-listers for an upcoming project.
In a recent interview, Wesley Snipes of the vampire series Blade admitted to enjoying Bollywood Cinema. He is not only familiar with Bollywoods famous Khans but dreams of one day starring alongside King Khan — Shah Rukh Khan. Well it looks like SRK's feelings are mutual. He tweets:
@wesleytsnipes whenever u say my friend. I am a fan . . . say the time & place I will be there to share screen space with the Blade!!!
— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) September 10, 2015
SRK is not the only Bollywood star Wesley is wowed by. He is also smitten by Priyanka Chopra. Her promos of Quantico perhaps makes her a promising candidate for Wesley's next action-thriller adventure?
Another day at work!! Bang bang!! #Badass #GeneralAwesomeness with @anabelleacosta1 #QUANTICO

Hollywood has a long history of casting Bollywood stars in their movies. Kabir Bedi starred in Octopussy, part of the James Bond series, in 1983. And who can forget Amrish Puri in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, directed by Steven Spielberg in 1984.

Bollywood stars are not only chosen by celebrated directors but also get to star in Oscar award-winning Hollywood movies. Amitabh Bachchan worked alongside Leonardo Di Caprio in The Great Gatsby. Anupam Kher starred in The Silver Linings Playbook where Jennifer Lawrence was awarded for best actress. And Irfan Khan played Pi Patel in Ang Lee's cinematic masterpiece The Life of Pi. He has one more Oscar award-winning movie under his belt with Anil Kapoor, another Hollywood success, in Slumdog Millionaire.

Shabana Azmi was in The Reluctant Fundamentalist, also starring Hollywood veteran actor Om Puri and directed by Mira Nair. Aishwarya Rai, on the other hand, is an international superstar having worked in movies like Bride and Prejudice, Mistress of Spices, The Last Legion and Pink Panther 2.
