Rajesh Shringarpure talks about his H'wood debut
Rajesh Shringarpure, who acted in many Marathi films and is best known for his negative role in Sarkar Raj has quietly made his Hollywood debut as well.
Mirror stumbled upon the promo of the film titled Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden where Rajesh plays a CIA operative who helps the Seals to nab Osama Bin Laden.
The film premiered on a television channel is the US just two days prior to the presidential elections and is claimed to be one of the major reasons for President Barrack Obama's victory the second time round by his critics.
Asked how he bagged his very first Hollywood film, Rajesh said, "I had earlier worked with director Harvey Keitel on Gandhi of the Month, and it was he who suggested to John Stockwell, the director of Seal Team Six, that I was apt for the role. I met Stockwell who wanted to see my work. The rest, as they say, is history. This film is my second film however it released before my first."
Unlike other Indian actors who talk about theor Hollywood co-stars, Rajesh made an interesting observation. "Normally in a film, if one has to show the president's role in the plot, it is portrayed by actors. However, I consider nyself lucky to be able to say that President Barrack Obama is my co-star in the film," he said.
International films apart, the actor has a full plate back home too. "I am working in Shortcut Romeo followed by a crossover film that stars Dev Patel where I play a villian and then Murder 3," he said.
