Bollywood Movie Player (Actors) - Bollywood employs people from all parts of India and attracts thousands of aspiring actors. Models, actors, television, theater actors and even common people come to Mumbai in the hope of becoming stars. However, only few are successful.
The popularity in the entertainment industry is very fragile and Bollywood is no exception. The popularity of the stars can rise or fall quickly. Directors compete to hire the most popular stars of the day, they believe to be a guarantee of success for the movie (though not always happen).
Only a few Indian actors are not able to leave a mark in Bollywood, despite having tried several times. But there are some exceptions, as in the recent success Rang de Basanti, where the English actress Alice Patten played one of the central roles. Other films like Kisna, Lagaan, The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey and Marigold also included foreign actors.
Bollywood is often far dominated by the clans and families of people working in the industry can more easily roles or just a very desirable place in the cast of a movie. However good connections within the industry are no guarantee of a long career. And on the other hand, some of the biggest stars such as Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan have succeeded despite a total lack of connections within the industry.
