Anil admits that his Hollywood casting agents are happy with this break. "MI4 should keep me in the rolling as far as future Hollywood breaks go," says the Bollywood actor, who has become leaner in the last two weeks. "All I can say is I'm going to go out there and have a good time," he smiles.
MI4 would be anil Kapoor’s third project abroad after the Oscar-winning “Slumdog Millionaire” and the television series “24.”
After three decades of working really hard on his career, the actor says that he has mentally decided to just enjoy his screen time in Bollywood and abroad. "When I did SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE I didn't imagine that it was opening doors to me for further opportunities in the West," he admits modestly. "But now, 24 and MI4 seem to be just the tip of the iceberg. I'm happy to take each film as it comes."
Besides Cruise and Kapoor, the fourth Mission Impossible movie stars Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg. The movie is slated to appear in the theatres in December 2011.
