He
is
one
actor
who
has
never
really
tried
hard
to
be
an
international
star.
In
fact,
Anil
Kapoor
didn't
even
know
who
Danny
Boyle
was
when
the
offer
to
star
in
Slumdog
Millionaire
came
to
him.
But
all
that
is
history
now.
The
role
which
went
to
Big
B
and
King
Khan
finally
fell
into
his
lap
and
the
movie
went
on
to
bag
tremendous
international
acclaims.
After
all
the
Golden
Globes
and
other
big
award
functions,
the
next
stop
for
the
film
is
the
Oscars.
Anil
Kapoor
is
elated
but
unlike
in
the
past,
now
he's
become
more
knowledgeable
of
international
cinema
too.
He
said
he's
aware
of
the
competition
around.
He
said,
"You
come
to
a
country
like
America,
you
go
to
Los
Angeles,
and
there
are
only
Indian
actors
in
the
film.
It's
an
Indian
story,
it's
almost
like
an
Indian
film
and
Americans
vote
for
you,
specially
in
awards
like
the
Screen
Actors
Guild
Awards
and
then
they
give
you
this
award.
And
whom
are
you
competing
with?
You
are
competing
with
Sean
Penn's
film
Milk,
you
are
competing
with
Brad
Pitt's
film
The
Curious
Case
of
Benjamin
Button.
Then
there's
Doubt
and
also
Ron
Howard's
film.
You
see
small,
small
clips
of
all
these
performers
and
they
are
great
performers."
Well,
must
say
it's
good
to
see
B-Town
favourite
actor
think
big
and
open
up
his
mind
so
about
international
cinema.
