New Delhi: Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have been one of the leading actresses of the industry. The divas, after creating a niche for themselves in Bollywood, are winning accolades in Hollywood too.

While DP will be making her Hollywood debut with ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’, PeeCee has already won hearts with her performance in American TV series ‘Quantico’.

Indeed, the divas are ruling the silver screen in every sense. However, veteran actors Anil Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah feels that the divas’s stint in Hollywood will be quite short-lived.

“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,” Anil Kapoor told a leading a daily.

On the other hand, Naseeruddin Shah too added up saying that Asian playing lead roles in Hollywood in a one-off thing.

“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,” Naseeruddin was quoted saying.

Well, with such statements from veteran actors about the Hollywood debuts, we wonder what Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone has to say about this.
