- Anil Kapoor poses for a photo before a special screening of their upcoming film Mission Impossible at IMAX Wadala.
Anil Kapoor, who plays an Indian business tycoon in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, believes the international film fraternity is gradually realising the importance of the Indian market.
"It's the third biggest economy, it's the second largest populated country in the world. People are understanding it. They know now India is a very, very important country. They have to focus on India," the 51-year-old actor said during a special screening of the film.
"I feel no role is small or big. It's in talent. Even one shot, one close-up is enough to prove what you are," said Kapoor, who made a foray into Hollywood with Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire in 2008.
Following the success of Slumdog Millionaire, he bagged a role in the American TV series 24 and he believes other Bollywood actors can also make it big in Hollywood. "I told Aamir Khan, I told Shah Rukh Khan, I told all the actors... Hrithik Roshan and all. They are great, they can become international stars. They are so good. So many of them, Ranbir Kapoor and all. They have that potential," he said .
