Hmm, re: Anil's longevity... the most successful Indian actors abroad, by my reckoning, were Om Puri and, to a certain extent, Roshan Seth. Om Puri specialized in a very particular brand of character - the angry, confused middle-aged British-Asian in post-colonial indie films (My Son the Fanatic, East is East) - whereas Roshan Seth's brand was more of a colonial/Orientalist hangover in those epic Raj Revival films (Passage to India, Gandhi). I envision Anil more playing sleazy "ethnic" parts in post-colonial films - a sort of sleazy Apu, for example - than fitting into any British Raj costume drama. And I only see those post-colonial films coming out of the UK - where they resonate much more - than the USA. Therefore, I think, if ANYTHING is going to come of this, it'll be Aneel Kaporre popping up in those low-budget UK films and becoming a sort of trashy version of Om Puri's character. Then again - Anil's made a career of suddenly changing tack and reinventing his image, so maybe he'll use the springboard for something absolutely insane? (Finally taking up the Wolverine role he was BORN TO DO.)<BR/><BR/>Ajnabi - Awww! Sisterhood of fangirling!<BR/><BR/>Amrita - Noooo - I love The Daily Show (of course!), this I must see. I am bewildered by how often the "millin-aaahhhirrrr" thing comes up. My family commented on it, various reviews commented on it, etc.<BR/><BR/>Anarchivist - :)<BR/><BR/>Beth - I have that one too! :) Yes to fan art, yes yes.a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-11421089910634956962009-02-05T10:36:00.000-08:002009-02-05T10:36:00.000-08:00And my google alert is on yet a third type of Kapo...And my google alert is on yet a third type of Kapoor....<BR/><BR/>I think we need a fan art post day.
