Veterans Naseeruddin Shah and Anil Kapoor on Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra's Success in Hollywood

These senior actors don’t sound too proud of our girls……
The country and the industry are incredibly proud of how our top heroines Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra have spread their wings in Hollywood. Both actresses have bagged meaty roles. While Pee Cee shone bright in Quantico and is working on her new movie, Dippy is working with popular actor Vin Diesel in the xXx sequel. By far, this is the farthest any Indian actor has gone till now. But looks like some veterans in the industry who flirted briefly with Hollywood are envious of the success of these girls. 
When asked about Pee Cee and Dippy’s entry into Hollywood, 24 and Mission Impossible actor Anil Kapoor said in an article inPinkvilla, “The stuff you are seeing now is nothing. Yeh kuch bhi nahi hai. This is nothing, you mark my words. I said this seven years back and nobody took me seriously and I am telling you again now. You are happy seeing this? This is nothing. The real deal would be when a young guy or a young girl gets a role and becomes a huge star. Am I making sense? When someone who has just started her career and her first film happens to be a Hollywood one. It will happen. Someone will definitely become a huge star. That’s success for me. This is nothing. Kya hai yeh? You just wait and see what is going to happen. It is great what is happening right now but it is going to get better and better.”
Not just Kapoor, but Naseeruddin Shah, who is known for his minor roles in certain Hollywood films said, “These people who are tom-tomming their entry into Hollywood are all going to come back very soon. Because Hollywood has no place for an Asian to play a lead. It’s a one-off thing.”
We’re just wondering if this could be a case of grapes turning sour!
