Internationally acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan says Indian cinema is being 'dominated' by foreign films and this has affected the business of Bollywood films. Hollywood films like ‘Furious 7’, ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and ‘Jurassic World’ have proved their mettle at the box office in India earlier this year.
The actor, who has starred in various hit foreign films like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ and ‘Life of Pi’, believes Bollywood films are not a competition for Hollywood but the picture is different in India.
"I'm working in both the industries as I'm enjoying my work on both sides. Hollywood demand different kind of skills. They have a different set of audience. So, as an actor it's fortunate that I get chance to do different kind of work," said Irrfan.
"Both the industries have their own uniqueness. But Hollywood has a bigger reach and has its own universal language. It is more powerful. It has dominated our cinema. It can affect the business of Bollywood. But, our films are not affecting their business. Its Hollywood, which is affecting Indian cinema," he added.
