Actors of regional film who worked in Bollywood.

Bollywood lovers like me, you and entire Indian audience have witnessed these actors performance in big screen, they have worked in many Magnum opus films of Bollywood and even few people know them as a regional film actor, despite there good performance some of these actors get less recognition in Bollywood as we know Nepotism toh Abhi hawa mein udd raha hain. But still being an audience we shouldn’t stop supporting them we want there more movies in big screen, let me help you to know them and there works in Bollywood.

1. Ravi Kishan

Ravi Kishan is a Bhojpuri Superstar and Member of Parliament, we have saw him in popular Bollywood movies like Tere Naam, Bullet Raja, Luck, Phir Hera Pheri, Mukkabaaz and recently in Batla House and Marjaavan. He even worked in Superhit Telugu film Race Gurram (Main hoon lucky the racer) starring Allu Arjun, Shruti Hassan.

Jishu sengupta a superstar of Bengali Cinema, worked in Several Hindi movies like Barfi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: The forgotten Army, Piku,Mardaani, Mardaani 2, Manikarnika and recently we saw him in Shakuntala Devi opposite Vidya Balan, his upcoming films are Sadak 2, Durgavati (remake of Telugu hit film Bhaagamathie.) and many more.

3. Prakash Raaj.

I won’t say much about him as everyone knows him, he’s versatile and talented actor Prakash Raaj he worked in movies like Heropanti, Singham, Dabangg 2, Wanted, Singh Saab the great, Entertainment, Policegiri, Khakee and many more he received many accolades from audiences and we want him to see in more films.

4. Saswata Chatterjee.

He’s one of the most popular Versatile actor in Tollywood and he’s proving his versatility in Bollywood too he’s Saswata Chatterjee recently we saw him in Dil Bechara and people praised his acting beside this he also worked in films like Jagga Jasoos and Kahani , people praised him as he played negative role name Bob Biswas in the film. He should get more and more offers from Bollywood.

5. Nassar.

Remember Baapji from Rowdy Rathore was an antagonist in the film and Bijaladeva from Bahubali 1 and Bahubali 2. He’s another talented actor in Indian Film Industry who prove his talent in both South and north Indian films, he worked in Bollywood movies like Article 15, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Angrakshak.

So these are the actors who working in Bollywood they are still. It’s our responsibility to support them along with the bigger name. They are the deserving actors. A hero cannot run a film until there are other supporting actors. Even a junior Artists has a big role in the film.
