Big in Bollywood
Directed by: Kenny Meehan & Bill Bowles
Runtime: 74 min
Year: 2010
Country: USA
As an Indian American actor working in Los Angeles, Omi Vaidya is subject to type-casting and less than desirable supporting roles. That is, of course, until he happens to land a dream role in one of the biggest Bollywood films of all time. He becomes a star… in India.
Filmmakers Kenny Meehan and Bill Bowles, two of Vaidya’s good friends, travel to India with him to document the premier of 3 Idiots, Vaidya’s Bollywood film debut. Meehan and Bowles end up with a documentary that charts their friend’s rapid rise to fame and the ups and downs that come with being celebrity.
Vaidya not only has to cope with instant super stardom in a foreign culture where he barely speaks the language, but also stardom in a country one billion people strong. Will this new international celebrity make it big back in the United States? Or will he only remain big in Bollywood? Only time will tell.
