<p>He has worked in two high-profile Hollywood films 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'Million Dollar Arm' but actor Madhur Mittal is really keen to create a space for himself in Hindi film industry.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The Agra-born actor worked in Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'One 2 Ka 4' and Salman Khan starrer 'Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye' as a child artiste before finding fame in the Danny Boyle directed Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire'.<br /><br />Mittal played the role of grown-up Salim in the film, about a slum-kid who manages to win one million in a game show.<br /><br />"My family is proud of my roles in these two films but they are keen to see me in a Hindi film. I worked in SRK and Salman Khan's films as a child artiste so Bollywood has always been on my radar," Mittal told PTI.<br /><br />Asked whether it would be difficult to navigate Bollywood stardom considering the premium put on looks, Mittal joked he was ready to undergo these changes.<br /><br />"I am ready to grow my muscles but these things don't define an actor. You need to have the ability to act to become one. Luckily, there is a wind of change happening in Hindi cinema. Good work is coming to people who are not conventionally good looking like Ranbir Kapoor or Akshay Kumar.<br /><br />"There are people like Anurag Kashyap and other who give work to not just lookers," said the actor, who has two films, a comedy and a biopic, besides other television projects.<br /><br />Things did not change as well for Mittal as they did for Dev Patel and Freida Pinto post 'Slumdog Millionaire' but the actor has no regrets.<br /><br />"We did not have lives as interesting as others. People gossip some of it was true some of it was not. When you have a love angle between the lead it is much more readable than about someone who is back to being a struggler again. But things are looking up and hopefully I will be doing good roles in both Hollywood and Bollywood," said Mittal.</p>
