Mumbai, Apr 4: Bollywood actor Imran Khan asserted that he is not eager to work in any Hollywood venture as he feels Indian actors are not offered good roles in Hollywood.

Imran Khan who recently enjoyed giving his voice for a character in the upcoming Hindi dubbed version of Hollywood flick Rio 2, is not very happy with the kind of roles been offered in Hollywood to Indian actors.

"I absolutely have no interest in working with Hollywood. I think Indian actors there get roles of nurses, someone who repairs computer or the hero's room-mate, etc. I don't see Hollywood film-makers writing good roles for Indians," opined Imran.

He further added, "With no disrespect to anyone, I don't feel the roles that are offered to Indian actors are interesting at all. But every actor will make a choice that is correct for them. However, I am happy to work in Bollywood and have no interest in going for Hollywood."

Imran Khan these days mostly spends time with his wife Avantika Malik as the couple are expecting a baby soon, nevertheless, Imran did not rule out the chance of his inclination to Hollywood if he gets a good role. "As an actor if there is a very exciting role, I would be very happy to do it. But as I said, those roles don't usually come to Indians. They come to us when they need to sell their films in Hindi," said the actor.

Imran Khan has for quite some time now didn't take up any film as he has decided to render all his time to his pregnant wife Avantika. Only, recently he gave his voice for a character in the dubbed Hindi version of the animated series of Rio 2.

New Delhi, May 5: Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut intended to target an opposition leader but mistakenly ended up attacking her BJP colleague instead. 

A similarity in names - Tejashwi and Tejasvi - was behind Ms Ranaut's fumble. "There's a party of spoilt princes... whether it's Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish," she had said.

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav was supposed to be the original target of her diatribe as one of his videos where he was seen eating fish became a major flashpoint between the BJP and the opposition recently.

Tejasvi Surya, incorrectly referred to by Ms Ranaut during an election rally yesterday, is BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, Mr Yadav has responded to a clip of Kangana Ranaut's statement. "Ye mohtarma kaun hai?" (Who is this lady?), he posted on X.

Kangana Ranaut has been verbally bashing the Congress party since the BJP fielded her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi. Congress leaders Vikramaditya Singh - her opponent in Mandi - and Rahul Gandhi have been the main targets on her dartboard.

While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency yesterday, Ms Ranaut took a jibe at Mr Singh and Mr Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things.

The Congress hit back saying the 37-year-old actor should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. National Media Coordinator for the Congress, Amrit Kaur, also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi.

The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls on June 1, in the seventh phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
