The troubled Hollywood actor from New Zealand, Russell Crowe, has expressed his desire to work in an Indian film. In a recent interview to an Indian newspaper he said he was supposed to do a film directed by Sudipto Sen in 2010, but the project did not materialize. He told the interviewer that he was aware that the Indian film industry was on the rise and Hollywood directors were now moving eastwards to make films.

Well, good luck with your Mumbai pursuit Russell C. You are the same age as all the Khans therefore fit to romance 20-year-old heroines.
