Not every film that come out ofBollywood- those raise in Mumbai ( formerly Bombay ) for Indian and Pakistani interview worldwide - are in the tattle / dance “ masala ” tradition , however . Which means that , for some of the more accomplished Bollywood sensation , there is a possible , traditional way to Hollywood fame and fortune .
Like many wannabee who essay out success in Tinsel Town , some will become star and some will take the bus back home .

But unlike most of those on this lean he does n’t have matinee - idol look , and his style of humor does n’t crossbreed borders well . Of all the Bollywood asterisk below , he belike has the least pastime in conquering Hollywood and will continue to be happily employed in southeast Asia .
Will Make It: Priyanka Chopra

Won’t Make it: Shah Rukh Khan
There are 3 democratic Khans in Bollywood ( Aamir Khan is name below ) , but Shah - Rukh come out to be the least interested in expanding his Qaeda . Unlike Aamir and Salman Khan , his movies are n’t popular with international audiences ( e.g. Don 3 ) , and as a top Bollywood draw , he could produce those types of films if he need .
His rumored ego - centered attitude would n’t impede him in Hollywood - there ’s no shortage of vain ace there - but unlike the others here , his idealistic Hollywood function is already covered by a wealth of similar actors .
Will Make It: Akshay Kumar
The award - winning Kumar has asterisk in dozens of film over 25 twelvemonth , but somehow still exists on the fringe of male heartthrob status in Bollywood . His front on the call - sheet does n’t automatically dark-green - light a cinema production anymore , unlike most of those on this listing .
That say , he ’s trifle a miscellany of roles as he ages away from “ action asterisk ” , and his longevity in Bollywood and strand of hits ( Namastey London , Welcome ) make him one of the highest - paid actors in the populace .
Like Hrithik Roshan ( below ) he is a physical fitness nut , and like Jackie Chan , he perform many of his stunt . He became a Canadian citizen in 2011 to seek to promote his North American part - mayhap it ’s time to try again ?
Won’t Make It: Jacqueline Fernandez
Hollywood drift federal agent would probably clamber to understand why an up - and - coming actress with a Spanish name would be a star in India - but the Sri Lankan beauty Fernandez has appeared in 2 dozen Bollywood productions and countless medicine videos .
However , in Bollywood she ’s often the “ It Girl ” - parlance for a immature starlet with personal magnetism , wit , and sex - appeal - that ’s discarded for the next woman who has “ it ” . As Hollywood has shew time and again , these actresses ( and some actor ) are quick jettisoned in favor of the next emerging adept , and Fernandez would in all probability be expire over chop-chop in Hollywood .
Will Make It: Deepika Padukone
Like Priyanka above , Deepika has already crest American shores , most prominently inXXX : Return of Xander Cage . A former “ It female child ” who found achiever with “ masala ” movieOm Shanti Omopposite Shah - Rukh Khan , she has also taken on challenging roles inPikuand the upcomingChhapaak , where she plays a woman marred by an acid plan of attack .
Also like Priyanka , the Danish - born star has shown clientele acumen as a model , manufacturer , and designer . Deepika is active as a libber and exponent of genial health and seems potential to link her country - cleaning lady in crossing over to Hollywood success if she wish .
Won’t Make It: Anil Kapoor
Bollywood old-timer Kapoor would have trouble becoming a Hollywood hotshot , because he ’s already tried , with primal roles inMission Impossible : Ghost Protocol , Slumdog Millionaire , and boob tube shows24andOasis . Because the dependable actor is a mid - level boxwood - office draw poker in southeastern Asia , he was give a steer if the spinoff television series24 : India .
What hold Kapoor back is the wealthiness of Hindi / Pakistani character histrion that already exist in Hollywood , like Dev Patel , Riz Ahmed , and Irrfan Khan . Kapoor is no longer a leading man on either side of the major planet .

No - one has conquered Bollywood like Aamir Khan , the actor and film director who ’s bring forth some of the nation ’s large hits,3 Idiots , Dhoom:3andDangal . With hits in China likeLagaanandPK , some have called him the most democratic star in the world .
For an role player who thrives in comedies , and behind the scenes as producer and theater director , Aamir would be now castable in Hollywood in any role requiring dignity , due to an earnest intensity that melts ticker and weather the weak - hearted . He ’s no longer the immature man take on activity roles , but his vividness , and his cognition of the auto-mechanic of movie - making , would make him a strong asset to any Hollywood production .
Won’t Make It: Sunny Leone
Miss Leone would have a hard clock time becoming a star in Hollywood - well , traditional Hollywood moving-picture show anyways . The Canadian beauty has star in a dozen Bollywood productions since 2014 , but it ’s her late career as an grownup film maven that ’s a vexation .
Leone is one of the most Googled names in India for the awry understanding . She ’s been flirting with stardom in Bollywood , and considered for several low - point Hollywood cinema ( e.g. I deplete Your Skin ) , but her unfitness to bring in adhesive friction in either box - role make her Hollywood rising doubtful .
Will Make it: Hrithik Roshan
He dance , he sings - well , backtalk - synchs anyways - and his cinematic fight scenes are top - mountain pass . view by many to be the dependable actor at the top , he ’s been a superhero ( Krissh 3 ) , a paraplegic ( Guzaarish ) , an activeness star ( Bang Bang , Dhoom:2 ) and a math instructor ( superintendent 30 ) . Although Roshan does n’t govern Bollywood like Aamir Khan , his appeal and corner - government agency receipts are strong enough to greenlight any output .
