Vidhu Vinod Chopra is making a gangster movie inspired by Parinda starring Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, so who better to contact than two of Hollywood's most popular action heroes, Mickey Rourke and Nicolas Cage? The movie is scheduled to start shooting early next year.
Nicolas Cage, who starred in hits like Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona, has not been very lucky at the box-office lately. He has starred in movies like The Family Man and Kick-Ass, but has not managed to make a noteworthy comeback on the big screen.
Mickey Rourke shot to international fame in the 80s only to disappear from the Hollywood scene for a decade, before making a strong comeback in the Oscar nominated drama The Wrestler. Since starrring the 2008 box-office hit, Mickey Rourke has been offered roles in various projects and has had prominent parts in movies like Iron Man and The Expendables. He is currently working with Slumdog Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto on the movie Immortals.
If Vidhu Vinod Chopra gets his way and manages to convince the two actors to star in Broken Horses we might just have another successful East meets West collaboration on our hands! And bringing Hollywood stars to Bollywood seems to be somewhat of a trend right now; movie director R. Balki, who worked with Amitabh Bachchan in Paa, recently confirmed that he wants to cast none other than Hollywood big shot Meryl Streep opposite Big B in his next film!
