Don Cheadle dreams of taking over Bollywood

Hollywood star Don Cheadle has expressed his dream to take over Bollywood.

The Hotel Rwanda star has always had a fascination for Indian movies - and now he has revealed that he wants to star in one.

"I would love to sing and dance in a Bollywood movie. I think they’re great, the theatricality of them. I love the presentational aspect of the storytelling as a fable," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"So often in American cinema we're trying to pull things off and it has to look real and things have to seem believable and the violence has to be really violent and the sex has to look good," he said.

"If I'm sitting in a theatre I know it's bulls**t; I know that you’re not really dead. I know you’re not f**king. I don't mind seeing something that's fantastical," he added.
