British actresses moving to Bollywood

"Recession in the UK film industry and increasing demand for white performers in Bollywood has spurred an estimated 1000 British actors and dancers to move to Mumbai in the past three years,” reported a popular daily. After the success of Slumdog Millionaire, Indian film industry has become more popular among the young aspirants who are facing tough competitions at home, the report said. Increasing popularity of Indian films following the success of Slumdog Millionaire and other Hollywood movies based on Indian stories has been inspiring young British actresses to opt for Bollywood careers.  While 1000 actresses come for audition for one job in London, in Mumbai there are just a handful of competitors. British actresses can earn up to 1000 pounds a day in Mumbai and find many opportunities, in contrast to the gruelling auditions, tough competition and waiting at tables to survive in London.
