Dev Patel says no to Farah Khan’s ‘Happy New Year’?









No Bollywood films for Dev Patel! The actor has said no to a big director. 

Dev Patel is still remembered for his role in Slumdog Millionaire, after which none of his films could work wonders with the Indian audiences. Now, we hear that the Indian origin actor from Britain is also not interested in working in Bollywood. It’s heard that Dev apparently turned down director Farah Khan’s next.

As a tabloid reports, Freida Pinto’s boyfriend, had almost signed an Indian film on his recent trip to the country. But…

Dev Patel was reportedly offered Farah Khan’s Happy New Year -- a movie with an ensemble star cast that might also include Shahrukh Khan. However, the actor turned the director down, citing the reason that he is interested in doing offbeat movies and doesn’t want to be a part of Bollywood mainstream.

We get it! Like his girlfriend Freida Pinto, Dev Patel, too, is keen to do more Hollywood stuff. But a list of forgetful films can wreck one’s career. 

Dev’s last film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which released in 2011, was a dud at Indian box office in spite of great reviews.
