The actor also courted fame overseas with some iconic negative roles.
In a previous interview with ANI, Prem Chopra revealed that he was offered the role of Godfather in a Hollywood film, paying homage to Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film ‘The Godfather.’
“I had an offer…somebody came to me and said they were making an English film, a Hollywood production with American actors in it. He told me that it was a tribute to ‘Godfather’ (cult crime trilogy directed by iconic American auteur Coppola). I jumped on it thinking I was playing the Godfather.”
Later, Chopra said, he found out that his role wasn’t central to the plot but merely served as a reference to the film.
“But when I arrived on the set, I was told that it wasn’t the Godfather, and Godfather was merely a character in the film,” recalls Chopra. (ANI)
