Deepika attracts Woody Allen - Page 2

There are so many English accents in the US I think she will fit in fine but yesit is getting annoying to hear so and so impressed some hollywood big wig etc just because they made an appeareance in Cannes. The one about Aishwarya and Russel Crowe was even more ridiculous than this one.

I don't understand this. When there is absolutely no shortage of pretty faces in Hollywood, it's unlikely that an Indian girl with a questionable accent (and before people can pounce on me about her sounding 'Indian'... I am Indian, studied in the same school as Deepika, and I do not sound like her. There's something off about her diction; lots of other Indian actresses sound perfectly Indian and at the same time manage to speak well) will be cast in a leading role. An Indian girl would be cast only as, well, an Indian character. Hollywood movies - even indie ones - caters mainly to the English speaking world - mainly North America, Europe and Australia, and Indians or characters of Indian origin will only be a part of the supporting/ensemble cast - Freida Pinto a la the new Woody Allen flick. Thing is, poeple, when we Indians refuse to accept a gori/non-Indian looking actress; why, we even don't warm up to someone relatively Indian looking like Barbara Mori or want to see blondes dancing to songs as we don't find that natural, why would the Americans and the British and Europeans and the Aussies go gaga over an Aishwarya Rai or a Deepika Padukone or Hrithik Roshan? They may be big stars in India because they can look pretty and they can sing and dance and smile, it matters jack squat to Non-Indians. Hollywood/English movies are made for the Western audience and is set mostly in the West and has Western characters. Though there are NRI's in the West, these people are a minority and it's unlikely that a mainstream Hollywood movie is going to have an Indian/desi as the protagonist. Just like how a typical Bollywood film won't ever be based on or will star an actress/actor belonging to the minority groups in India like the Assamese or Manipuris.
