Hollywood actor Don Cheadle has a dream to take over Bollywood.
The 46-year-old has said that he has always had a fascination for Indian movies and now he’d like to star in one, reported Daily Express.
“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. “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,” said the Hotel Rwanda star.
The actor also said that he liked the fantasy aspect of films and he would also like a role in a martial arts movie.
“I would have loved to have been in Kung Fu Hustle (2004 Stephen Chow film). I thought that was a great movie. I’m not as skilled as those fighters but I would love to be a part of something like that,” said Cheadle.

‘Your dog knows when you smile’
Washington: Since humans have no tails to wag, they need to look at their best friend for signs they feel happy, scientists say. Researchers at Azabu University in Japan found that dogs have become so attuned to living with humans that they even distinguish a smile, even on the faces of some strangers.
Dogs, they said, have an innate ability to recognise each others’ expressions, but over time they also learned to interpret faces of a completely different species — humans, LiveScience reported.
For the study, the team led by Miho Nagasawa, trained nine pet dogs using photos of their owners, who were smiling in some of the photos and looking neutral in the others.
The dogs were trained to touch their nose to photos of their owner’s smiling face. Only five of the dogs completed this training. These dogs were then shown photo pairs of smiling and blank-expression faces of unfamiliar people as well as of their owners.
